Change your ‘POINT OF VIEW’

2 09 2009

Think about the following mathematical equation for a moment.

5 + 5 + 5 = 550

This equation would be correct with the addition of a single straight line. And it doesn’t involve changing the equals sign. Before you go on reading, think about it for a minute.

Okay, time’s up. Did you get it? Like most problems the solution is pretty obvious but you need to change your perspective.

If you look at any problem from a different perspective you will find other solutions you once did not notice.

It’s like when a friend gives you advice (let’s assume the right kind) and you just don’t want to accept it. It’s not that your friend is wrong; it’s just that he’s not seeing the problem from your perspective. And that is sometimes the only barrier in the way of a solution.

We should all think about our biggest challenge from an outsider’s perspective. What would they notice if they weren’t caught up in all the complexities of the challenge? That’s probably your answer.

Too many times people do the same things expecting different results, and that happens to be the definition of Crazy!

The answer you are looking for can only be seen from a new perspective.

Change it.

5 + 5 4 5 = 550

“It isn’t that they can’t see the solution.

It is that they can’t see the problem.”

Mind Solutions?

MIND Solutions?

Too many times people are looking for an inspirational code for life. A personal development model or a template for behaviour, communications & relationships.

For a long time I’ve been researching different methods & techniques to harness my mind and live from the inside out. As many people might experience that is a lifelong commitment and journey.

I’ve come to believe that any problematic thought has its answer in a very simplistic solution not consisting of too many bullets or step by step programs.

Here are a few of my favourites that has worked wonders for me:

1. To be impeccable with your word
    – Words are powerful things. Powerful enough to send countries to war.
      So why speak harsh words towards others or yourself if the energy of them is so great?

2. Don’t take it personally
 - Here’s a little secret. Everything people do is about them and their own reality & perception of life.  Approval comes from within.

3. Don’t assume
     – They say the biggest mistake anyone could make is to assume. ASK questions, express what you really want and   communicate clearly. You will avoid 99% of all misunderstandings and future drama.

4. Give it your all
    - We never regret the things we do, only the things we don’t do! Avoid self-judgement and regret through acting on your intuition and following through.
These are simple truths with great power.
