What if 30 minutes could change your destiny?
We all know Einstein said that, ‘We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used to when we created them.’ Maybe it goes on to imply that by by attempting to use the same thinking aka beliefs about how the world is, we are, the ‘system’ is, men are, women are… – we cannot to to a ‘different’ or the ‘next level’ for lack of a better term. Thus, to get to that other place where we want to really truly be, we cannot believe the same things or make the same actions and behaviors to get there.
The thinking that got you to where you are in life, relationship, career/mission, happiness/stress cannot get you to the next level or to a different way of being/having/thinking/feeling.
Do become a different person, you must give up the certainty in some or many of your current beliefs to make room for new ones that are closer to that next level. For example, the things you had to know and believe that got you to $100,000 will not get you $1,000,000. And the thinking that got you to $1,000,000 will not get you to $100,000,000 or a billion.
Therefore, in order for your environment to change, you MUST make it a MUST to learn other people’s ideas, beliefs, psychology and thinking (not necessarily accept them, but rather understand them) and get new voices about beliefs that are different than yours to move to a different place from where you are.
Certainty is wonderful to give you power in making things happen and conquering fear, but it is also what can hold you back from the true potential and possibility that is awaiting you is you can find a way to expand your thoughts and understanding. Sometimes asking yourself, ‘is that really true’ to the thought that is holding you back will let your mind answer itself in a way that gives you an opening for expansion.
The easiest way to to this is by committing to CANI (constant and neverending improvement) for at least 30 minutes a day. Read or listen to or watch some kind of book, audio program or video that can offer new or different ways of thinking or strategies that have worked for other potential models that have achieved what you desire (this does not include magazines and newspapers – those are meant to get the scarce resource of your attention, not inform or lift you to new heights).
Demming, in many ways responsible for Japan’s economic turnaround after the war, coined the mindset of always looking to do and create the ‘Highest and Best’. With a focus on always finding an even better way, always testing, always learning to make it even better – quality instead of quantity, you CAN and WILL get to a better place in any and every area of your life.
To help with perspective:
Imagine you have 3 balls (mind out of the gutter please!) – a basketball, a soccer ball and a ping-pong ball. Each one represents one area of where you spend the majority of your time and focus in either 1) Relationship, 2) Work, or 3) Self. According to the SIZE of the ball, label each ball with one of these 3 areas depending on where you spend the majority of your time /focus.
WHERE DO YOU SPEND THE MAJORITY OF YOUR TIME / FOCUS? Is it at work? On yourself? On your relationship? Where do you spend the LEAST amount of time/focus?
Can you see or does it click or can you feel why you might be struggling in some area of your life?
If the ping-pong ball represents someone’s relationship, do you thing there might be some issues within that relationship? What if your partner’s relationship was a basketball while yours was a ping-pong ball? If your basketball represents Relationship and the ping-pong ball is Work – would you expect that type of person is struggling financially?
So, how would you label your balls? Which is the basketball, soccer ball and ping-pong balls! And, maybe more important, where could you make a shift in those labels that could change EVERYTHING?
If your basketball is Self, and you changed it to Work – do you think your financial world might have the capability of becoming a new kind of awesome? Or, if you made it Relationship, would you be able to completely convert that 1 or 2 Dimentional stagnant relationship with your lover and create a 3 Dimentional piece of artwork of passion, intimacy, euphoria and ecstasy in its place? (1 Dimentional is when you come to Get not give, 2 Dimentional is where you make it 50-50, ‘you do your part, I’ll do mine’ generally with little passion, 3D is where their needs are your needs and it lights you up to light them up, where there’s intimate passion and fun, where you’re courageous enough to give 100% and bring that out in your partner as well).
Next time you play with a ball or play basketball, soccer, ping-pong or any other sport with a ball like tennis, bowling, cricket, baseball or whatever – maybe you will want to ask yourself, ‘in which area do I spend the majority of my time/focus? Which area do I spend the least? If I make a change immediately, how could this make everything better?
I know for me personally, these techniques have changed the course of my life and destiny immensely. When I realized the time I was spending on relationships, my relationship went from pretty good to freakin’ awesome! When I spend the time expanding my mind and understanding, the world shifts to bring me closer to the path leading to my chosen destiny.
I wish you understanding and passion on your way to your destiny.
I love you, I’m Sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you.
