Focus on the Best

Mastering Fear: The Ultimate Challenge

by Steven Bisyak & Michael McDermott

(pg 143-146)

A positive focus in your life can take many forms. For instance

  • personal growth
  • success
  • high self-esteem
  • enjoying life
  • loving yourself and others more
  • making more money
  • getting all you want out of life

The quality of your experience in life is the direct result of where your focus is. When you focus only on "what if's" and negative pictures of disasters in your future, it destroys your enjoyment of the moment. Letting go of fear means empowering yourself to have more fun in life. When you focus on the best, it allows you to take action. Fear cannot limit you.

It all you can think of is ''What would my mother say?" shift your focus. If you can't think of one positive thing to focus on, find something in your field of vision and focus your mind on that. For instance, it could be a person, a tree, or a rock. It doesn't matter.

The point is, if you're paying 100% attention, you're only capable of focusing your mind on one thing at a time. If you focus on something other than your fear or negativity, that fear ceases to exist for you the moment you shift your focus.

Unless something is in your mind, it doesn't exist for you in that moment. It can't be a part of your reality unless you consciously perceive it or call it to mind by remembering it.

Pay attention
To what you see
For what you perceive is your
Reality

Michael McDermott

A monk was walking on a path in a jungle. Pretty soon a tiger started chasing him. The faster he ran, the faster the tiger ran. Soon the tiger joined two other tigers, who entered the chase. The monk ran over to the edge of a cliff and grabbed on to a vine. As he hung on to the vine, he saw below him three tigers waiting for him to fall. Just then, a rat came to the edge of the cliff and began chewing through the vine that the monk was holding on to.

In that moment. the monk glanced up and saw a small strawberry. Just before he fell from the cliff, he popped the strawberry into his mouth. He enjoyed that strawberry so much that he didn't even mind falling off the cliff and being eaten by the tigers!

The moral of the story is: The monk had practiced meditation all his life. Because of this, he had the ability to pay 100% attention. By paying 100% attention to the experience of the strawberry in his mouth, everything else ceased to exist for him in that moment. When he popped the strawberry into his mouth, the tigers disappeared, and the fear vanished. He became one with the experience of eating the strawberry and everything else, in his perception, ceased to exist.

Focus is determination. When you break a brick, you realize it's possible that you could pulverize your hand. So you accept that possibility. Then you focus your mind on the best. You visualize the brick breaking in half, and you see your hand going completely through It. You determine
the outcome by your focus. Believe in yourself 100%. You have to be 100% committed and you can't just try. Nobody ever did anything by "trying. There's a world of difference between trying and doing.

Focus is like a laser beam. When light is diffused, it has little power it's very weak, like a fluorescent light. Focus those same light rays into a laser beam, and you can cut through the toughest diamond with that focused light! A laser beam is focused, and it can penetrate anything because the rays are focused. Your mind is like that. Intelligence, power, and ability are direct results of mental focus or concentration.

Concentration, focusing your mind and believing in yourself 100%, is the key to success, whether you're breaking a brick or meeting a challenge on the job. Put emotion behind your focus. Bending rebar takes that kind of focus. When you're standing with the sharp end of a rebar against your throat, you realize it could puncture your throat. It could puncture your windpipe and lacerate your spine. You could get a tracheotomy! It can be very scary.

Focusing is like flipping a switch in your mind. You focus on the center of the bar, think "bend," and go for it. You have to give it 100% commitment or it just will not happen.

Focusing on the best helps you tremendously! It will give you the ability to accomplish whatever you want to in life! You can have successful relationships, make more money, and achieve success. Spend some time each day focusing on positive outcomes for all the problems that come up from time to time in your life. Focus on the best that can possibly happen and it probably will!

Life is a Firewalk

Mastering Fear: The Ultimate Challenge

by Steven Bisyak & Michael McDermott

pg  104-107

The firewalk has been a major tool in most of the dramatic transforrnations I've seen. One example that comes to mind is a young single woman who was living on welfare with her two toddlers. Her first firewalk was a jaunt across a 50-foot-long cinder bed of fiery embers. That's pretty unusual for a first-time firewalk. Most firewalks are no longer than 12 feet-20 feet at the most. When I saw this lady walk over 50 feet of hot coals on her very first walk, I was impressed. "This is a pretty gutsy lady," I thought.

As the months rolled by, she joined us for a number of other firewalks. She even attended the one in 1987 where we set the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's hottest firewalk. That was her last firewalk. I recall her saying she intended to take the principles of the firewalk and apply those principles to all areas of her life.

She went back to school and graduated from college with a 4.0 grade point average! She's no longer living on welfare. She's now happily married. She and her husband have three kids. Her transformation was remarkable. She went from being on welfare to graduating from college with honors. She didn't let fear limit her. She had the courage not only to think about walking on fire, she actually did it. Then she applied the principles she used to walk on fire to create the life of her dreams. She put more to life and she got more out of life.

With long-term exposure to the firewalk, you realize that the firewalk is only a metaphor. A metaphor is an analogy in which one idea or activity represents another, something that stands for something else. Firewalking represents your life. We "firewalk" every day of our lives by facing fear and meeting the challenges life has to offer.

I've heard people say, "No, I don't want to do that." Later they change their minds and attend a firewalking seminar. Sometimes you hear people say, "I have no desire to do that. You won't get me to do that in a million years." In a firewalking workshop, people learn how to master their states of mind. When the mind is conquered, the emotions are in check and you can walk on fire. You can use the same techniques to achieve anything you want
to achieve in life.

One of the biggest challenges I face is getting past people's fears and prejudices. Firewalking produces RESULTS in people's lives. Most people are so conditioned to fear the fire that they react when you bring up "firewalking." They aren't really listening because they're reacting emotionally out of fear and old programming. The key to the whole thing is an open mind, allowing for the possibilities. Techniques that allow people to walk on fire directly apply to achievement in all areas of people's lives. This book is an attempt to turn people on to the world of possibilities waiting for them at the firewalk.

Tony Robbins vs Live Powerfully Firewalk Experience

August 4, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I've been firewalking for almost a decade now, and leading Firewalks for over 5 years.

I was reflecting the other day about the key differences between a Tony Robbins Firewalk and the ones I facilitate.

  • Watch the fire burn for the entire event. The process of watching the fire be lit and then burn to coals is a powerful experience.  The entire training is usually done around the fire.
  • More hands on training and mentoring from the Firewalk facilitators and leader
  • Focused training and breakthrough in a specific area of business, not just a generic breakthrough in fear
  • Plenty of time to be with the experience and firewalk multiple times. Since our groups are almost always fewer than 100 people, you have  plenty of space to process your experience before Firewalking, rather than getting your "20 seconds of fame".  And then you can firewalk as many tiemes as you want.

Here is video that Vincent J Kellsey posted from the Firewalk he led in San Diego May 1st, 2009.

 

Lots of fun, high energy.

Cheri Tree: "We are right here at the beach with the fire behind us that we are getting ready to firewalk on. This is awesome. It is hot, the back of us is already burning up over here.

Here is the bottom line…When you come to Quattro, we are going to burn your past, we are going to create possibility for your future. That is exactly what is going to happen here tonight."

Firewalking Experience for San Diego Tourism by Bill

July 8, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Bill Rocco owns San Diego's Best Yacht Mainteance and Dive Shop businesses.

Business 1: They maintain hundreds of Yachts at the Marinas in San Diego Bay

Business 2: They have a large selection of diving equipment and they offer guided dives and hands-on training and courses, and equipment repaire for divers in the San Diego area.

What I got from my firewalking experience was an incredible sense of conquering fear. I went to the firewalk to see if I could conquer the obvious fear and with the help and guidance of the coaches, Julian and Kevin, I accomplished the mission at hand, firewalking on hot coals in my bare feet.

What I see possible from this experience is that I can accomplish anything in life I choose. I also see the value in choosing coaches and teammates to accomplish conquering that which I fear. Julian and Kevin offered sound advice and experience to the firewalking and the rest of the participants offered confidence in that they were all doing the firewalk themselves for the first time. Overall it was an extremely powerful and empowering experience and I would recommend Julian as a leader to any of my friends who want to have their first firewalking experience.

Firewalk and the New Economy by Patrick

July 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Patrick was teaching and leading people on a small scale. Now he has targeted higher levels of management.

Here are the biggest things I take away from the 2 firewalks I did with you.

The first firewalk I saw how I do everything in life. A blind faith, lock and load, lets go…what the hey. And in seeing that I can actually be responsible for that and ask myself if I am dong that same thing again. Its ok to jump into things, some things. But others need more due diligence. Since the first firewalk I do take a moment to be sure or to get clear on what it is I am doing.

The second firewalk was cool because it took almost a month for the result to show up. I had wanted to blow the top off of my earning potential. But right after the firewalk I was still wallowing in what was a ceiling on my pay. I saw different ways of expanding the areas to make the money, but not to actually make more money. I was frustrated and one day I was thinking about how at the firewalk I had seen some simple ways to make more money, but it still had a cap, just a little wider cap then now. Once I saw this, I was clear what to do. Get an MBA. I am currently registered and will start classes on Sept 8th. I now see the cap being removed and I can do much more with my assets than I could before.

Leadership Firewalk Experience by Annie

July 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Annie came to firewalk looking for a breakthrough in leadership and service. She also wanted a new relationship with fire because she had fear of fire.

Hi Julian
What is clear for me is that I am meditating with more focus. And, I can see that I need to make some choices because I cannot do everything I say I am committed to. I am looking at what is really important to me so I can be focused and successful. Before the firewalk it was not clear to me that I was not focused sufficiently to accomplish my goals. Something must go. I'll write more when I decide what firewalk is.

Regarding my relationship to fire. Well, it is my friend now.

Firewalk Experience by William Traenkle High Tech

July 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Will Traenkle is an IT business owner who provides Computer Support, Network Design, Internet Hosting and Managed Services. This is a great place to go if you need web hosting.

The firewalk experience is a perfect analogy for how we experience life. It is the best exercise that I have practiced to anchor how I approach challenges in my life and how I am able to overcome those challenges with power, clarity, and focus by simply being who I really am. It has enabled me to reach a higher level of awareness of who I am and how I may live a powerful life that I love. I recommend Julian’s firewalk experience to anyone who desires clarity and wants access to their true power within.
