A few years
ago I would not have understood the
significance of how a choice of name and
logo can affect the long term potential and
success of a company, group or individual.
However, over more recent years I have
worked with many people and experienced the
power of the use of words in our thoughts
and language. I have also studied Numerology
in depth, gaining many insights in how we
can help ourselves, or conversely self
sabotage our success.
Our name at birth is very powerful as we
repeat and say that name, and have it said
to us throughout our lives. If you have a
strong positive name it will naturally have
a similar influence in your life. For
instance one gentleman I met had the choice
to change his surname when his mother
re-married. However he chose to keep his
original name as "Dukes" which was the more
empowered choice. At such a young age he
made this very wise decision as he naturally
commands respect and success in all that he
does in a very charming manner.
Alternatively I once met a person with the
surname of "Struggles". You can imagine when
you are always told you struggle in life,
you will, as that is the mind programming of
your sub-conscious.
Other examples we can look at are names of
successful bands. "The Beatles" dominated
the planet in the 60's and 70's. Beetle
insects are everywhere! The "Rolling Stones"
rocked and rolled around our globe. As they
rolled they kept moving, yet being stone
they were steadfast and solid in their
goals, and are still going strong today.
"Queen" regally ruled the world in the 70's
and 80's. The "Kings of Leon" and "Kaiser
Chiefs" are two of the current bands who
stand strong in modern day music.
Alternatively I heard of a band once called
"Blind Summit" that were not successful,
perhaps because they were always having to
slow down as they could not see what was
ahead? So you begin to see and understand
the picture! When you choose a new company
name, have this concept in mind too as your
name will stay with you a very long time.
The same goes for logo designs and company
tag lines (refer to separate article titled
Relaunch Your Business with Feng Shui and
Fly High for more information).
If we are in the habit of working with
gratitude for those around us saying words
like "Thank you. You are an Angel", of
course you'll be surrounded by people who
want to help you with love and gentleness.
Alternatively if you are always accusing
people of negative behaviour, that's what you
will manifest in your life and you will
create a very unhelpful circle of friends
and colleagues.
Every person, as long as we live and
breathe, has a level of intelligence, and I
have met some amazingly clever, intelligent
and intellectual people from all walks of
life over the years. I have noticed that
whatever people think and say, this is what
happens. Fortunately I meet a lot of
positive people who easily create success in
their lives as they believe and expect they
will achieve their aims, and stay very clear
and focused on their intentions. Sadly there
are others who constantly talk themselves
out of what they say they want, as their
belief is that whatever they wish for in
life wont happen to them, so it doesn't, and
they become very deflated. We have two ears
and one mouth; listen to your self talk! I
came across some very wise words some time
ago; "Focus on your strengths. Decide what
you want. Unlock your potential". I'm
convinced these three short sentences saved
my life. They were the key to re-awakening
my life purpose. Another powerful phrase is;
"Desire, ask, believe, receive". Consistency
through BELIEF is the only key to guaranteed
success. I am so convinced this is the
Global way forward, I believe the power of
positive words and thinking should be an
interactive part of the school curriculum,
hence the creation of our "Global Peace
Prayer". Ghandi said; "Be the change you
wish to see" Let's do it!
