AWAKEN THE GIANT WITHIN (PART-2)
Lesson 5: Expand your references to expand your life. References are experiences that enable us to more effectively evaluate what things mean and what we can do, they include everything we have seen, heard, touched, tasted, or smelled. The more references you the more choices and opportunities you will have. If you are at a point where you don't know what to do with your life i suggest you gain more references. Go traveling, try something new like martial arts, painting, or go sky-diving. A guy named Joe made the effort to try skydiving once he absolutely loved it, now he is a full-time skydiving instructor. He would never have had that references of skydiving if he didn't try, and look what he is doing now he jumps out of a plane for a living, Referenced had typed closely with beliefs which we talked about earlier in this video. More references can help support a belief that you want to have if your dream is to be a world-class personal trainer but you are struggling to believe you can be then support the belief with references. Talk to world-class trainers and ask about their experience that got them there, but why would a world-class trainer talk to me you might say. Well, i guarantee there are books written by these world class trainers if you go out and find them. If books aren't your thing there are plenty of video interviews on youtube.
Lesson 6: ONLY MAKE IMPORTANT DECISION IN RESOURCEFUL STATE. There is this guy Johny he is building a sandcastle and absolutely loving it. There is another guy Brandon, Brandon is best friend with Johnny. Brandon says to johnny you castle sucks, johnny laughs and replies i know right feel free to help me. The next day johnny is building a sandcastle but isn't feeling well today. Brandon says again your castle sucks. This time johnny gets angry storms on his castle and storms off. Brandon said the same thing in both scenarios, but johnny made different evaluations about the words your castle sucks based on his emotional state. When we make decisions about what things mean and what to do, we must be in a resourceful state of mind. If you are doing a business deal make sure you are feeling well and not resentful and angry. Otherwise, you could make a poor decision. I realise this is a very simple concept but we often forget to notice the states we are in when making decisions. So, make an effort to realize in your day to day life,
So, now we have talked about the five elements that make up a decision, again they are beliefs, rules, values, references & emotional states. We are going to talk about one more element that forms part of your master system. You will find out what your master system is after i explain the power of asking the right questions.
Lesson 7: ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. Larry was a Jewish prisoner at the Krakow concentration camp during world war two. One day he looked at the nightmare around him and confronted a harsh truth. If he stayed there one more day he would surely die. For weeks he asked other prisoners: how can we escape this horrible place?" Don't be a fool they said. There is no escape. He wouldn't accept these answers, all of a sudden he got the answer only a few feet from the work he saw a pile of decaying bodies that had been shoveled into the back of the truck. Instead of asking how could the nazi's be so heartless, he asked how can i use this to escape? and instantly he got his answer as an end of the day near and the work party headed back to the barracks larry ducked behind a truck in a heartbeat he ripped off his clothes and don't make it into a pile of bodies when no one was looking. He pretended he was dead the smell was vulgar but he waited ad waited. Finally, he heard the truck stopped. Eventually it came to a stop and dumped the bodies including one man pretending to be one of them into a giant open grave outside the camp. Larry remained there for hours until night. When there was no one there he got up and ran naked 25 miles to freedom. This is a real story of a man who asked the right questions to change his fate.
Thinking is nothing but the process of asking and answering questions. Ask yourself this question. Is this True? We have to habitually ask empowering questions as larry did or tony asks when he has to do 100 cold-calls. How can i make this fun? Then he got an idea, he put on his swim trunks and headed for the jacuzzi he called a few of his business associates i new york and teased them by saying really it's that cold hmm well it's really that tough out here in California you know i am sitting here in my jacuzzi they all had a laugh and he managed to turn his draw into a game. Asking yourself these positive questions on a regular basis will help you make better decisions and improve the quality of your life.
Lesson 8: UNDERSTAND YOUR MASTER SYSTEM. To put it all together your master system is made up of five components that determine how you evaluate everything that happens in your life. Making great evaluations will help you make great decisions. We just talked about the five components. They are your 1. Emotional state 2. Values 3. Questions 4. References and 5.Beliefs. Improving just one area of the master system will dramatically improve the evaluations you make and therefore your decisions. If you are deciding to quit your job, for example, make use of each component in your master system. Make sure you are in a resourceful emotional state. Do you really think it's wise to make the decision to quit your job when you are angry or frustrated? Go for a walk to calm down and help clear your head before making the decision. Secondly, you should have written down your top ten values in order of importance. I.e 1. Family 2. Passion 3. Peace. Does your job help you live these values? If you are going to war for the army and you rarely get to see your family and your just doing it for the money, then you feel empty and unfulfilled. Because you are not living your top three values. Next, ask yourself the right question what are the advantages and disadvantages of staying in my job? How can i align my top three values with my current job and do i need to get a new job to live my values. This brings us to references, have you quit a job in the past. If you have, reflect on this experience. Talk to others who have quit their jobs and read about other people's experiences to help guide your decision. Lastly, your beliefs make a big difference in what decision you make. I am not going to tell you which beliefs to have. But an apparent belief is one that it makes it easy to feel the pleasure and hard to feel the pain.
So, let's us all wear our wings of fire with our ignited minds to awaken the giant within.
