Success and Change

Coach Adams here in St. Petersburg Russia.

I’m still enjoying my visit, it’s still cold, and it’s still snowing!

I wanted to share with you a great conversation I had with Coach Alex last night…

I want to preface this conversation with the fact that he has been helping individuals for over 40 years become the best. He has been instrumental in creating change in the lives of so many.

So with that said…We were discussing success and how we have experienced it and observed it in others over the years and he made a statement that I found very interesting. In fact I would go so far as to say it was quite profound in the implication of this statement…

He said that “As humans we do not really change”

Now wait a minute. I’m sure you sitting there thinking how is it possible that someone who has been helping people change and become the very best would make a statement as such?

Well the answer might surprise you…

Success and Learning from the Masters

Coach Adams here…I’m still here in St. Petersburg Russia and I have to tell you that this is such an amazing place!  Aside from the fact that it’s colder than @#$%@ here, this city is filled with so much history, beautiful architecture, friendly and open people, and there are so many Masters here.

Today I’m talking about the arts…from the performing arts such as ballet and the symphony to the works of art found in the many museums.

I had a chance to visit the State Hermitage Museum today.  What a treat…WOW…Was it spectacular!

It’s one of the largest Art Museums in the world.  With over 3,000,000 pieces of art!

That’s right 3 Million pieces of art!  If you spent one minute in front of every single piece of work and did not take a break…It would take you 5 years and 8 in half months to get through it all!

CRAZY!  Now that’s a lot of art!!

Some of the more well know Masters in the Hermitage’s Collection include: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens, van Dyck, Rembrandt, Poussin, Claude Lorrain, Watteau, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Canova, Rodin, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Cézanne, van Gogh, Gauguin, Picasso, and Matisse!

Van Gogh’s - The Bush

This painting alone is remarkable…stand close and you can see each brush mark…Stand from afar and you see this amazing picture of a bush!  In and off itself that one stroke does not do a thing…but add it together with all the others and you create a beautiful image…what a great example of synergy!

And if that wasn’t enough the Winter Palace is exceptional…it is truly exquisite!  So beautiful and ornate with so much attention to detail within each room, decoration, base board and molding.

Truly a masterpiece in and of itself…The architect and the builders showed true mastery in the design and build of this structure as well!

So what does it take to become a master?

As I’ve been sharing over the last few posts, Mastery takes time…

What is success?

Have you asked yourself that? People have different opinions and concepts about what really is success. However, according to dictionary.com, success is a noun which is defined as (1) the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors, (2) the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like, (3) a successful performance or achievement, (4) a person or thing that is successful and (5) obsolete outcome. Success is also synonymous to achievement, fame and triumph.

Do you agree with these definitions?

What is your idea of success? Is it paying off your mortgage and owning the home you’re living in right now plus the car you’ve had your eyes on and your children’s educational plans? Is it having financial security and a good retirement plan? Is it living a healthy life? Is it having a happy marriage and a fulfilled family? Is it traveling around the world and writing a book about your adventures? Is it surviving a health condition? Is it becoming a business tycoon and owning some of the largest companies?

What is success to you?

Have you really considered what it is? Or are you living life with no clear direction where you are going from here?

One thing is for sure though; there may be many of definitions for success as each one differs from individual to individual, you have your own concept of success. Others may give you everything you need to help you achieve that success but only you can make the first step; no one can make it for you.

Success is not by chance, it’s by CHOICE!

Success through Mastering a Technique

Coach Tim Adams with www.makingbestbetter.com here in Russia…

I’ve been spending a lot of my time with Coach Alex Barakov.  He is a true master and an amazing man.  He’s one of those guys you just love being around because he brings everyone around him to a whole new level!

When you are in the midst of a master there is just so much to take in!  That’s why I’d love to share some more insights into how one becomes a master…

Being a master is all about integration.  Integration?  Yes, Integration.

A true master must integrate his mind, emotions, and his spirit, with his body and move that into specific action.  To truly master something you must have total control over not only the specific skill or activity you are performing, you must have mastered the battle that rages within…

And this internal battle is not just your thoughts and beliefs…it includes your emotional responses and your spiritual power as well!

This is not something that comes overnight or just because you wish it to.  No it requires that you put the time, energy and very specifically directed effort into your intended outcome.  It requires you take action.

You see, we trying to go from being in our head and thinking about things to just doing them.  This requires that we move the action from our frontal lobe of our brain down into our brain stem!  This moves our thoughts and emotions from “being in our head” to actually becoming them and doing them at a non-conscious level!

Success comes from the Teaching of Masterful Coaches

I just arrived into St. Petersburg Russia…

I haven’t been here in over twenty years…since I played hockey here in high school!

Wow things have changed!

I had an amazing day today…I had the great fortune to speak with an amazing Sambo coach today…Alex Barakov.  Sambo is a fairly new martial art that has become a sport in Russia.  It was developed for the military and special forces and is now widely used as a self defense system.

And I wanted to share with you some of my observations…

This particular individual is gifted at what he does…Not only does he have a passion for teaching others how to improve their specific skill in Sambo he teaches them about life…Being good in Sambo is not good enough for this Master.  He strives to teach his students about higher purpose, integrity, character, self-discipline, and love!

To watch this individual demonstrate the techniques is awe inspiring…he makes it look so simple!  And you know you are in the midst of a master when he makes you think…I could do that!

And why is that?

Simplicity…

Masters are able to communicate their ideas in such a simple way that anyone can get it!  They don’t try and convince you that they know what they are talking about by using big words, talking over your head, or showing off…they want you to get it!  And because they understand the material so completely they are able to break it down into its most basic form…they do what they do in such a simple way that their mastery shines through.

Physically, they are able to move in such ease because they have spent the hours of repetition perfecting a movement so that their body can perform that movement without thinking and with very little effort - because they have become so efficient at that specific movement!

All great performers understand this concept…In order to be great you must put in the time perfecting your abilities!

Until next time…Remeber…

Success is not by chance, It’s by choice!
