NLP 2018 – NLP is the celebration of excellence

‘’NLP is the celebration of excellence.’’ – Sue Knight

 

Are people insane, sadomasochistic or just sad victims of circumstance.

The most common beliefs about the determinacy  of life are:

  1. We contribute to creating our future which means we can to a large extent that we choose our reality.
  2. We have no control over our lives beliefs and experiences and thus we are victims of circumstance.

People often say they believe the first statement, that they create their reality, and that they believe this implicitly, yet when you ask them if they are living the life that they dream of living they say that it is far from what they would like to be experiencing.

But if that were strictly true, then half the world must be masochistic and the rest just insane. If we believe this to be true and we are wrong then I guess we would be living in a fool’s paradise.

If we believe the second and it is false we will have lived in a fool’s hell.

If we choose to believe it and it is true then we will have lived in an enlightened hell.

Neither of these two beliefs can be proved.

However  scientifically it is proven that it is indeed far more useful i.t.o. our health, our general wellbeing and success in all fields, to believe the first rather than the second is true.

So then why are we not all living our ideal dream

Because we do not know how to create our world. WE do not have the know how, the skills or the tools to do this. An instruction manual was not included when the box was opened to release ourselves into the world and into our lives.

And then along came NLP. And it was so powerful that it became commercialized and diluted by the majority.

Sedrick-Inspiritu NLP offers a pure and thorough training in NLP plus a transformational journey.

NLP is the instruction manual for experience. The one that was missing in our presentation pack when we arrived on this earth.

 

 

We succeed by design we fail by design

How we use Language turns Words into WorLds

Language fascinates me, that when used effectively it has the power to positively change a life in one or two sentences. This life might be my own or someone else’s.

In 1962 I faced a crossroads in my life. I was in my final year of Matric at Parktown Boys High School.

I had got to Matric by barely scraping through each year by the grace of God alone. Low self-esteem, for one reason or another, was the prime suspect to be at fault for this sad state of affairs.

I had managed to fail dismally in Math and Latin during the lead up to my prelims.

Then one day during vocational guidance I had been ridiculed by the teacher for implying that I wanted to go on to university and study medicine the following year.

Embarrassed and ashamed I went home and decided to do something drastic about this situation.

My older sister who had been a star student all her life and still had all her notebooks neatly in storage kindly retrieved them for my use.

And so for just over a month, I had my buttocks glued to my seat catching up on years of study neglect.

On my return from the July holidays sitting in a Latin class with Mr David Wolfe a question was asked and for the first time ever I put my hand up with an answer. It was judged to be the incorrect answer and my dear friend Colin Porter’s answer judged to be correct instead.

I for once was certain in my gut that my answer was the right one and in trepidation, I challenged Colin’s answer. A heated debate ensued and It is here that my gratitude to Mr Wolfe for his excellent facilitation is most heartfelt. Though the discussion from the entire class was intense he stayed clear and centred and kept the energies in the classroom positive and open.

The decision was to call the head of the Latin department, Mr. Sydney Klevansky who was my Latin master in the previous year in to judge the merits of each side of the argument.

Mr. Klevasnsky stood in the doorway with barely one foot in the classroom and one foot out and listened to Mr Wolfe’s summary of the situation. Whereupon her looked at me and said, ”Theodosiou you could just have accepted you were wrong, sat down and been quiet but you stuck to your guns, well done Theodosiou, well done my boy.”

This one sentence changed my life.

And because of this life changing sentence hundreds and hundreds of people have changed their lives with my help.

Now years later, having studied NLP at very advanced levels and been practising NLP and training NLP for over 25 years  I have learnt the language patterns that made Mr. Klevanskys words so effective in changing my life. I’m sure not even he used that language with knowledge of what made it so powerful.
NLP teaches how systematically and with the intention to use language to influence change.
Similar to my life changing experience at school, NLP principles, attitudes and techniques, as taught and lived by Sedrick’s training at Inspiritū – NLP,  provide systematic guidance to use language with the intention to positively influence change.
