Over an evening, 13 Aug 08 to be exact, a friend invited me along for a evening seminar conducted by Dr John Demartini, a renowned speaker I best associate with in the book ‘The Secret’.
Its held at Suntec Convention Hall Theatre and ticket to this event is purchased via Global 1 Event.
(Singapore)
The topic of the seminar happens to be the latest release of his book, The Riches Within, The Seven Secret Treasure.
Before I start, a few points to highlight is that views and opinions given are solely base on my personal thoughts and feel and no bias towards anything or anyone.
Over a short session of less then 2 hours, Dr Demartini outline the 7 areas that make up a balance complete life in general.
1. Mind development.
2. Spiritual Quest.
3. The Genius in us / Mental Development.
4. Financial Independence.
5. Our Family and Love
6. Physical Health.
7. Social responsibility, Contribution to Society.
1. Mind Development.
Each unique individual has a set of values important to themselves. The higher on the list the value is the greater priority and the more discipline we have to do follow through.
A lack of interest, disorder in doing particular task or procrastinations are common reactions related to one doing things low on the ‘value’ list. The lower it gets the more negative it is.
Such value dictates what we do and in return we are bias towards our environment. (Selective attention) Eg to say, a mum who place the child on the top list of value will look out for things associate with the child while in the shopping mall where as a business man will look out for things that is of business / investment element. (It’s a sub coconscious thing just like book reading. Some does other don’t.)
It is because of these values that when setting goals, we have to align it with our highest values.
Cause it be easier to achieve and we have the motivation to work towards it.
Likewise if we set goals on with values indicated by others, if the values of that individual don’t match us, we have a difficult time achieving it.
But by understanding this concept, we can shift our values to suits our specific goals cause when believes a line with goals, our self confidence increase and in eventually a boost of self worth.
Highest value allows an individual to give his maximum attention and retention to the subject matter as does the intention of learning it. Everyone wants to learn something that is able to enhance their highest value.
And thus, according to Dr Demartini, each and every one of us is yearning to express that genius in us. The genius refers to our top most value. It just if we have identify our highest value yet and is working and spending time on it.
‘We feel good when it’s done close to our values’
2.Relationship
Children express what the parents repress. Honours people value rather than projecting your values on others as that will result in conflict, disappointment in particular relationship.
To get the your other half to live and work with your values will only kills a relationship. After all its the difference that attracts, not the links.
Find value in your spouse, compliment their value to what you are doing. Create the link. Take for example her out spoken personality compliment your solitude personality. Learn what is important to them and work with it. It grows the relationship and make it meaningful.
