Behind Coincidences

I have been following Jim Kwik for a long time. I read his book (Limitless), took the fast reading course, and implemented every piece of advice he suggested in the course and the book, and now I want to share, based on Jim′s tips, the power of coincidences.

He mentions a little story about Pug Dogs, those smashed-faced dogs. He received a couple of emails from his sister with pictures of these dogs, before those emails he wasn't aware of these dogs, and he wasn' interested in them.

His sister's birthday was very close at that moment, and he realized that those pictures were a call for him. What is curious is after he saw the sights, he started to see Pug Dogs everywhere without any apparent reason. He describes this experience as an activation of the brain's attention.

Pug Dogs for Jim, are comparable with questions, sometimes we don’t know what we need or what the universe, situations and challenges are asking from us, we only need a clue, and questions are these clues.

When you recognize your need in the form of a question, you are going to have an answer from lectures.

That's was for Jim "The Pug Dogs"

I′m a fanatical reader. I block 30 to 45 minutes daily in my schedule to find answers to any pressing issue I could be facing from the experience of the authors I follow.

The last quarter of 2023, in particular, was full of ups and downs in the business I run, and for that reason, I was full of doubts and questions.

Before this period, I was only focused on sports reading (triathlon training and nutrition), but this very moment requires different knowledge.

I was asking the universe for answers about healing and forgetting, and I received a suggestion for the book "Subconscious Brain Can Change Your Life" from a lovely friend.

This book was exactly what I needed for this turbulent moment. I read it, felt it, and implemented all the exercises that Mike Dow put it. Through the many pages of the book, I have now found the answers I was seeking.

As I mentioned before we are full of questions and doubts about life, progress, family, growth, and business, those questions could perhaps be answered by a friend, a mentor or a coach, but the reality is that you can download decades of knowledge from a book if you pick the right one.?

For reference, I learned how complex triathlon training is from the book Triathlon 3.0 by Jim Vance; in a nutshell, everything about training is now mathematics, statistics, devices and crossing data from one platform to another. I′m not an expert or an Ironman trainer, but at least I understand everything concerning my training plans (for an Ironman), and my results have been fantastic for my self-improvement. On this note, if you are training for such a race, I highly recommend this book. It will prove to be invaluable to your training plan.

Jim also said, "Leaders are readers" Now I know what it means. If you read as a daily practice, you will be blessed with tools, practices, models, habits, and frameworks to solve all of your challenges.

Ask every day for an answer. Ask for a book.

We all want to grow, but are we doing what is really needed to?

Count your time on Social Media, and count your time watching television, only by cutting time from those habits, I guarantee you can optimize your time to open the space to read.

Let the magic of constant reading guide you.?
