Why Things Suck (and How to Make Everything Awesome Again) – Part 1
Hey guys, please listen carefully. Normally this is where I’d offer a “fun bribe” in exchange for leaving a comment. I love that kind of thing. It’s a great way to make learning fun.
This time … no bribes. Instead, I want to make a plea.
What I have to share with you in this series is something that will not only change your life for the better quite rapidly, but has the potential to change the world. (No exaggeration. It’s that big.)
Here’s the deal: involvement improves learning. It’s a well-established psychological phenomenon. So, whether or not this lesson “sticks” in your brain or is lost in the sea of Internet noise depends on whether you choose to get involved.
Taking just a moment to post a guess will improve your chances of remembering this lesson exponentially.
P.S. Yes, this is the build up to “Experimental New Feature #3.”
AKA Simpleology 5.7.
Hint: no one has the answer I’m looking for yet … (all excellent answers, though … I think you could state an excellent case for every one of these answers)
Systems
A system that can be done almost automatically
Your Self Esteem and Self Worth
action on the systems I choose
SYSTEMS!!!
To be a disciple to your practices.
Having no motivation
Following the Body For Life system produced an amazing body and mind and made me a champion. Lets go to part 2, loving this!
Systems
attitude
Our Planet and Solar System run on systems so why shouldn’t I.
Systems provide small incremental wins that you can track then reflect on your win to loss ratio which generates a positive mindset.
Action-reaction, the 3 hedges
It has to be attitude.
I’m guessing systems.
attitude
Habits
SYSTEMS
Systems
action
Your IDENTITY. Actions result from choices. Choices expose beliefs. Beliefs reveals character. Character unmasks Identity!
Action
Planning.
Well, i’m thinking it has to do with how well I know myself and others.
Our belief system, based on our cultural world view.
Applied and Focused Action
I guess as reading from Solomon’s Ark we have to build our lifeboat business based on systems and culture…..hence this is about creating a automation system for my business!
It’s your perspective
The patient development of habits that serve the end in mind.
Funny thing you should use the clean and dirty bathroom as one of your examples, Mark.
My wife has been after me to scour the tub for several weeks now, so each time I shower, there’s that nagging voice in my head that says, “You know what you gotta do, why don’t you just do it, get it over with and enjoy a sparkling clean, guilt-free tub.”
The difference is deciding to do what needs to be done now, even if it means getting down on your knees with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, so you can reap the sparkling rewards later.
Attitude
How I react to situations or events
To stop with focusing but start activate awareness and creativity together
We all have our own perceptions as to what sucks and what’s awesome, whether that be based on our own lives, or the world around us. And they can be for many different reasons, such as: Nationality, Religion, our Demographics, Wealth, Health and our upbringing. Whether we grew up in a family unit, or not ?
So many different variables. One possible answer may be for us to collectively settle on a middle ground. One that could provide everyone the opportunity to work toward their own awesome, through Guidance, Motivation, Education, and Support (emotionally or financially) . Providing help to people no matter their current environment/situation, gender or financial status, making awesome attainable for one and all.
~ When you know better, you do better ~
I’m guessing MINDSET/CHARACTER/BEHAVIOUR
attention
Intent followed by action
We can only discriminate the difference by shifting our point of view and defining clearly what we like and what we don’t.
Choice
Doing Start My Day everyday.
Choices
Gratitude improves attitude
ME and my why
Consistent Committed action
What sucks is simply something that isn’t working ie no good result. What’s awesome is when something IS working, and getting better all the time due to measurement review, and needed tweaks to assure continued/improved results.
controlling the controllable.
is it to be consistent in your actions
Intention
focus
