Being an Extraordinary Person

103 25
Some time ago I did a course called the Landmark Forum and found it so good that I went on to complete the advanced course.
Much of it was excellent and I did feel more of an extraordinary person by the end of it.
The few issues I had when I looked back at the whole experience seemed the same for all Landmark attendees I have subsequently spoken to and could have been more to do with us than them.
The main point of difference was their insistence to actually forgive people (in your short breaks).
In communication terms this infers the person has done something to be forgiven for - i.
e.
they have done something wrong.
Most people don't like being told they were wrong.
I'm not saying anything is right or wrong here, I'm just pointing out how things are taken by many people.
One great thing Landmark gave me was their 'Seven Commandments for being an Extraordinary Person'.
I want to share these with you.
They don't all totally fall in with the Law of Attraction, which I believe to be the most powerful of our universal laws, but they are very close and have helped me through some troubling times.
Here they are.
By the way, I don't work for Landmark or have any connection with them.
Be Racket-Free: Give up being right, even when you know you were.
(I love this - it is so Law of Attraction) Be Powerful: Be straight in your communication and take what you get.
(Very NLP.
Communication is not only what you are saying but also the response we get.
We KNOW when we are saying something that will affect someone, but not always when we are saying it.
) Be Courageous: Acknowledge your fear (not necessarily get rid of it) and then act.
You may feel an emotional charge (a little heart squeeze).
This is either a pattern detection (by your unconscious mind) or an internal acknowledgment that there is contrast or resistance around this act.
Think about what the fear means.
What are you afraid of? Be Peaceful: Give up the interpretation that there's something wrong.
(Nothing is broken - it is what it is and we are where we are.
) Be Charismatic: Give up trying to get somewhere.
Be entirely fulfilled in the moment.
The past doesn't equal the future and in an adventure the journey is more enjoyable than the destination (as opposed to a weekend break, where the getting there is the worst part).
Be Enrolling: Share your new possibilities in such a way that others are touched, moved and inspired.
(Show your passion!) Be Unreasonable: ...
in expectations of yourself and other beyond what you think they are capable of.
(You are more powerful than you imagine - believe it.
) I believe that if any person would use these as an operational basis when they have a challenging situation before them, they have a great chance of acting in a way that reflects their true self.
I always try to keep in mind that if I complain or are envious or critical (or any other similar negative thoughts), I will attract more of the same into my life.
So be peaceful, be generous, be enrolling, be racket-free, be charismatic, be powerful, be courageous and be unreasonable and watch the extraordinary you unfold.
