**These are my notes from a recent superstar retreat with Mike Ferry and Matthew Ferry.
Master the skill of Changing Your Perspective
*Awareness makes you flexible which reveals new options and gives you power
*It’s your reaction to life that determines the experience you have
*How you experience the situation determines your resourcefulness
*Resourcefulness determines the level of opportunity
*Learn to control your emotional response
*It’s never them…it’s always you
*There are no jerks in the world until you show up
*Be 100% responsible for the way you feel in every situation
*Become unoffendable
Action Items:
*Have compassion
*Write a daily gratitude list & email to your partner
*How do you maintain optimism:
*Eliminate your worries by improving your integrity
*Do what you say you are going to do, stop overpromising
*Free yourself from obligation
*Today cancel 1 promise you made out of guilt & obligation
*Stop struggling against the business to achieve your goals
*The business isn’t hard, what you say about it is hard
*Be grateful for what you resist
*Make a list of things that you’re resisting & figure out what you appreciate about them
*Stop protecting yourself from all of the people who aren’t attacking you
*Stop holding people accountable to behaving like you
*Making other people right gives you the power
*Your reaction to other people is just a survival mechanism
*Stop pretending that you are psychic & can tell the future
*If you’re going to make things up, make up stories that are good
*You get to choose the way you feel based on the future that you create
*Describe the future you’re going to create & tell people about it
