When I write these blogs I am really talking to myself too.
To me it’s more like sharing than teaching as we’re all on this journey
together and can help each other with shortcuts and tidbits of
life affirming information.
This is something I used to teach but still have to re-mind myself
about it every so often.
As animals/Homo Sapiens, we are wired for ‘fight or flight’.
These left over tactics of binary thinking are buried deep
within our collective psyche from the days when problems
were REALLY problems…life or death.
Makes problem solving faster but not always the best decision
in every instance. Anyway this tendency is deep seeded and
remains with us today even when life is less dangerous.
I heard a man once say this ’secret’ alone will make you
smarter than 95% of the other hominids strolling the planet
today.
The ’secret’ is….
THERE ARE ALWAYS MORE THAN TWO SOLUTIONS
TO ANY CHALLENGE
but because of the way we are programmed some 95% of our species narrows
any challenge down to one of two solutions…sometimes even only ‘one’ or ‘no’
solutions.
I’ve used this is my own experience ( when I remember ) and to take
it to the furthest extreme to test it took an ad out in the Atlanta papers
once guaranteeing I could solve ANY problem for $50. And it worked in
EVERY instance.
Sometimes I have to free up my mind when I’m stuck by first sitting
with the problem and saying over and over to myself ‘It is possible that
there’s another solution to this problem’ until it feels feasible. Then I tell
myself ‘I know exactly what to do in this situation’ until it ‘dawns’ on me.
Even if you have to spend 15 minutes on each stage, oncw you get that
inner confirmation the light will turn on and you’ll get it!
Try it and see…NO MORE EITHER-OR…quit being so narrow minded…
LOL…..
