When I think of right action I cannot help but hear my Mothers
voice telling me "you have to do the right thing Cheryl". Although her
voice has served me well in my ability to make good choices over the
years, I understand this statement today to contain immense power, the
power of the Law Of Attraction.
What I am referring to when I say
"right thing" is the right being to listen to our hearts desires and the
thing as taking action in good conscience.
You see, energy follows action, which in turn creates matter, or so Albert Einstein revealed when he quoted;
"Energy is matter, that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. It is not philosophy, it is physics".
When we discipline our actions, we are lead in the direction we want to go and we match the frequency of the outcome for which we intend.
So why then is it then that this Law Of Attraction remains a mystery allowing only a privileged few to tap into it? The answer is very simple;
The right thing is usually the hardest thing to do.
The right thing may take discipline, maybe courage and many times it can be that we have to "right" a situation meaning to take responsibility. The right thing may take a leap of faith, a knowing that things will work out and a deep understanding that even if they dont all will be well.
Most times I have found my biggest successes followed my right actions. In times when I didn't know what action to take I did the daily diciplines I use to of stay on track by focusing on the intention of my desires and ensuring they are "right".
Still a skeptic of doing right becomes right... think of it this way, if you could match the frequency of the success you desire, a new home, or fifty more clients, you would already have it. To stretch and grow takes being out of our comfort zone, to think new thoughts and do new things. And sometimes the new ones take disciplined action.
So if something new is in your sights for 2014, I urge you to be bold, be courageous and do the "right things" and if you don't know how, find out how!

READ AGAIN : Overcoming the Fear of
Innovation
I have written recently on how creativity is bred OUT of us, from when we are children, through to our adult, working life.
The traditional education process translates into the working environment as one of avoidance of getting things wrong, rather than creating new things. This results in an over-riding atmosphere of fear rather than the openness that creative minds thrive on.
So how do we start to overcome this? And how do organisations go about getting it higher on their agendas, and delivering better results?
Neuroscience and Innovation
Neuroscience tells us that our brains can change their forms through creating new neural pathways no matter what age we are; this goes against the traditional view that you only have what you are born with and you must learn to love it.
In this sense, our brains are made for new things -innovative ideas, creative designs, new ways of making decisions and, ultimately, new ways of behaving (new habits). They will adapt and grow.
So, by extension, creating a working environment that punishes or embarrasses individuals for getting things wrong, and thus keeps people stuck in their old ways, is unnatural to our brains. Our grey matter wants to "push on" rather than being locked down in fear or threat.
Breaking out of this mindset usually requires a change in attitude from the top, inspiring leaders to drive it through an organisation, and people who are willing to break the mould, step up and take risks.
In short, it's a combination of the right elements needed to bring our brains out of their shells again, and to unlock the regions that controls creativity rather than ceding power to the more primitive threat centres.
Moving out of the Fear-Based Environment
If we have the desire from the top and the right leaders to promote the new mindset, we can start creating more innovative environments to inspire our people.
Do not under-estimate the value of leadership; there is far too much micro-management in organisations today; this may be what leaders resort to when they themselves feel threatened and under stress. They will usually "transfer" their own stress onto their people, creating an ever-worsening situation.
For a more creative environment we need to understand what people need to innovate. Some people may say they "love the pressure" and it's true that they can respond best when under the pump; but generally they will create when they feel safe and unthreatened.
Job insecurity, salaries and budget cuts are basic threats that our survival instincts respond directly to; using them as a threat hanging over somebody is likely to produce repetitive behaviour that may be functional in the short-term, but certainly not creative or conducive to a good relationship.
Nowadays there is a lot of unpredictability and uncertainty generally in the workforce, so we need to overcome the fear this innately produces, and steer our people into clearer waters for innovation to reign.
An Innovative Environment
We tend to think of creativity as being a process that is unbounded and free. However, neuroscience tells us that being creative doesn't mean removing all guidelines and constraints. In fact many creative people work better within pre-set guidelines than without them. Too much freedom can mean that there is no "spark" that lights the fires of innovation.
Generally an innovative environment is one that ensures people have enough time and space to get thinking; this means different things to different people, but it generally needs to remove obstacles like pressure, unrealistic expectations, and too many time restraints.
Ideas grow and few start out as the finished article - give time not only for the initial ideas to be generated but for the growth process.
Sharing findings and ideas can be a great way to generate more ideas and engage other members of a group. Ideas spark ideas and it's amazing what can be accomplished when the chain of innovation is started with a few interesting links.
The best leaders will embrace experimentation and mistakes and see it as all part of the process - not just the end results. This comes back to having a mindset for innovation and setting aside time for the process, rather than just paying lip service to the idea.
