Thinking Your Living, Living Your Thinking

According to physics, a light beam consists of particles (photons) and waves. If you observe a light beam in a certain way, it appears to consist of particles. If observed in another way, it appears to consist of waves. Which observation is correct? They both are. Similarly, a human life consists of thoughts, emotions, behavior, and environment. Your specific observation of a human life yields thoughts by what is said, emotions by facial expression, behavior by activities, or environment by surroundings. Your focus determines your observation -- and any one of your observations is correct.

Thoughts: By what is said, a person reveals his thoughts. His thoughts may be positive or negative, moral or immoral, rational or irrational, etc. If you completely understand a person's thoughts, then you completely understand the person.

Emotions: By facial expression, body posture, and voice tone, a person reveals his emotions. His emotions may be sad or happy, fearful or confident, angry or calm, etc. If you completely understand a person's emotions, then you completely understand the person.

Behavior: By activities, a person reveals his behavior. His behavior may be hardworking or lazy, sociable or isolating, safe or risky, etc. If you completely understand a person's behavior, then you completely understand the person.

Environment: By work and home surroundings, a person reveals his environment. His environment may be luxurious or slummy, ordered or chaotic, quiet or noisy, etc. If you completely understand a person's environment, then you completely understand the person.

How can observing any one of these factors (thoughts, emotions, behavior, or environment) yield enough information to completely understand a person? Our light beam example answers this question. Not only does a light beam consists of particles and waves -- but the particles and waves are one and the same. Not only does a human life consists of thoughts, emotions, behavior, and environment -- but the thoughts, emotions, behavior, and environment are one and the same.

Thoughts express as emotions, expressing as behavior, expressing as environment. For example, thinking positive expresses as feeling confident, expressing as behaving motivated, expressing as living in luxury.

Part By Part, The Huge Goal

Always aim for achievement, and forget about success.
-- Helen Hayes

Success consists of achievements, much like a forest consists of trees. In order to cut a forest down, you must do it one tree at a time; in order to attain success, you must do it one achievement at a time. Tiny parts make up a huge whole.

A huge goal is easily completed, if broken down into tiny tasks -- completed one at a time. However, the same goal is difficultly completed, if unbroken and whole -- completed all at once. A huge war is won by winning tiny battles -- one at a time. However, the same war is lost by attempting to win the war -- all at once.

Hence, there are two ways of pursuing a huge goal -- wholly and partly. Wholly pursuing the huge goal overwhelms you, influencing you to quit. Partly pursuing the huge goal underwhelms you, influencing you to continue. Being underwhelmed, you are cool, confident, and ready for more.

Part by part, you are smart. One at a time, you win in time.

FORCE

According to physics, Force = Mass x Acceleration. Not only does this equation explain the relationship between matter and force, but it also explains the relationship between product and force. Force = Mass x Acceleration teaches us that accelerating or enlarging an object increases its force. Likewise, it teaches us that accelerating or enlarging a product increases its force.

Promotion Force = Product Number x Production Acceleration.

Promotion Force: It is the extent that a product promotes itself, attracting customers to buy. The greater the promotion, the greater the customer attraction, the greater the sales, the greater the force.

Product Number: It is the number of products produced. The greater the number, the greater the availability, the greater the promotion. For example, if only one electromagnetic automobile was produced, chances are most people would not know about it. However, if one billion electromagnetic automobiles were produced, chances are most people would know about it.

Production Acceleration: It is the increased speed of product production. The more speed increases, the more products are produced, the more products are available, the more products are promoted. For example, the fast-food restaurant McDonald's produces hamburgers faster than most hamburger restaurants. Almost everyone knows about McDonald's. Almost everyone ate at McDonald's.

Indeed, Promotion Force = Product Number x Production Acceleration.

Common Sense: In addition to using the above equation, you should ensure that your product is better and cheaper than competing products.

Do Your Best, Talking Little, Working Consistently

Make yourself indispensable and you'll be moved up. Act as if you're indispensable and you'll be moved out.
-- Anon.

The Cub Scout motto, "Do your best," is the key to making yourself indispensable. Most people follow the path of least resistance by doing the minimum. If you follow the path of most resistance by doing the maximum, you will be noticed quickly. Being noticed, you make friends and enemies. Your friends attempt to further your goals; your enemies attempt to hinder your goals. If you continue doing your best, you will achieve your goals, become indispensable, and move up.

However, in moving up, there is a dark side. The dark side is after becoming indispensable, you act indispensable. In acting indispensable, you lose self-restraint and self-control. Intoxicated by success, you begin arrogantly talking too much and slothfully working too little. Then a competitor hungrier than you takes your place, ousting you out.

Therefore you should do your best, talking little, working consistently.

Time Is The Great Equalizer

Karma basically means that in doing good things, good things will come to you; and in doing bad things, bad things will come to you. Karma generally applies to all human behavior.

Some examples of bad karma are if you disrespect others, others will disrespect you; if you murder others, others will murder you; if you cheat others, others will cheat you; if you steal from others, others will steal from you; if you deceive others, others will deceive you.

Revenge, though not a virtue, is part of human nature. People naturally anger at injustices done to them. In serious criminal acts, the justice system attempts to punish the perpetrator by matching the punishment to the crime. For example, a murderer receives death (execution) or the death of his time (life in prison). Also, a court-ordered fine takes a thief's property or imprisonment takes his time.

Some examples of good karma are if you respect others, others will respect you; if you help others, others will help you; if you are honest with others, others will be honest with you; if you give to others, others will give to you; if you are loyal to others, others will be loyal to you.

Gratitude is part of human nature. People naturally feel grateful for favors bestowed upon them, and seek to repay the favors. For example, a neighbor would be more apt to give you food and shelter, if you gave the neighbor food and shelter in the past. Also, a coworker would be more apt to give you a loan, if you gave the coworker a loan in the past.

Oftentimes, evil deeds get rewarded and good deeds get punished in the short run; and evil deeds get punished and good deeds get rewarded in the long run. For example, a dishonest bank robber is richer than an honest banker in the short run. But in the long run, the honest banker is richer than the imprisoned bank robber. Indeed, time is the great equalizer.

Mental Energy

According to physics, the interaction of mass and velocity produces kinetic energy. Changing mass or velocity changes kinetic energy. Changing Mass: A car hitting you at 50 miles/hour will do more physical damage to you than a housefly at the same speed, because the former has more kinetic energy than the latter. Changing Velocity: A car hitting you at 50 miles/hour will do more physical damage to you than the same car at 5 miles/hour, because the former has more kinetic energy than the latter.

Likewise, the interaction of environment and behavior produces mental energy. Changing your environment or behavior changes your mental energy. Changing Environment: Living in a slum will mentally depress you more than living in luxury. Changing Behavior: Resting away aimlessly will mentally depress you more than striving toward a goal.

Hence, the interaction of luxury and goal striving produces heightened mental energy.

Viewing Affects Doing

Success, which is something so simple in the end, is made up of thousands of things, we never fully know what.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke

Success is simple; it is also complex. It is simple, in that success consists of accomplishing your goal. It is complex, in that there are thousands of things you must do along the way to goal accomplishment. If you view success as simple, you persist confidently. If you view success as complex, you hesitate alarmingly. The former leads to accomplishment, the latter to procrastination. Therefore the trick to getting anything done is to view it as easy rather than difficult. Viewing affects doing.

Action versus Inaction

Nature gave men two ends -- one to sit on, and one to think with. Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most.
-- George R. Kirkpatrick

Action equals success; inaction equals failure. Action or inaction begins in thought, working its way to behavior, ending in success or failure. Actively thinking about accomplishing your goal generates ideas on this. You may make many wrong turns on the road to your goal; but if you keep driving, you will get there. Oftentimes, trial and error teach best, especially if there is no road map to guide you. In contrast, inactive thinking generates nothing. You are parked, going nowhere. Trial and error play no role, since you never begin driving.

Sitting on your rear brings failure near; thinking with your brain brings successful gain.

To Believe or Not To Believe

Self-trust is the first secret of success.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Of the many secrets of success, self-trust is principal. Without self-trust, the other secrets become useless. Self-trust is the absolute belief that you can accomplish a particular goal. Absolute belief causes you to act boldly, molding your environment to your liking.

The following New Testament story makes this point. One day, Jesus' disciples were boating. Suddenly, the disciples saw a human figure walking on the water to them. Initially, they thought the figure was a ghost and panicked; but realizing the figure was Jesus, they were relieved but awestruck. Then Jesus commanded one of his disciples, Peter, to leave the boat and walk to him. Absolutely believing that he could walk on water, Peter walked on water to Jesus. Indeed, Peter was doing the impossible, until he began doubting his ability to walk on water. Doubting, he quickly sank in the deep water (Matthew 14:22-36).

Whether you think this story is fact or fiction, it reveals a universal principle. Believing, you rise; doubting, you fall.

Failures Don't Like To . . .

The secret of every man who has ever been successful lies in the fact that he formed the bait of doing those things that failures don't like to do.
-- A. Jackson King

Failures don't like to persist, especially during challenging conditions. They like to take the easy way out -- by getting out. To persist, your inner motivation (bait) must be greater than outside hindrances. Your inner motivation must be strong enough to persist your behavior through outside obstacles. Oftentimes, behavioral persistence creates environmental resistance. Yes, people in your environment will attempt to dissuade you from persisting -- the greater the goal, the greater the dissuasion attempts. This is human nature, and should not be taken personally. Like attracts like; distinguishing yourself from your peers repels them.

However, if you continue to persist, achieving your goals, you attract like-minded people. Positive-minded peers arriving, your negative-minded peers depart. Positive environment arriving, your negative environment departs. Persistence, initially causing resistance, finally overcomes resistance.

The Giving-Getting Paradox

The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.
-- Henry Ford

You have three choices. You can meet, surpass, or disappoint others' expectations. Each choice leads to a particular circumstance. In meeting others' expectations, your needs are met. In surpassing others' expectations, your needs are surpassed. In disappointing others' expectations, your needs are disappointed.

Business success, just-getting-by, and failure depend on the extent that you meet your customers' expectations. The more you give to your customers, the more your customers give to you. The less you give to your customers, the less your customers give to you. Indeed, giving is getting.

Success Habit

The successful person is the individual who forms the habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do. -- Donald Riggs

Habits are daily behaviors, determining success and failure. Habits begin mentally, progress emotionally, then behaviorally, and finally environmentally. For example, successful people habitually envision their goals, feeling confidently, behaving motivationally, succeeding environmentally. In contrast, failing people habitually envision their obstacles, feeling diffidently, behaving curbingly, failing environmentally. Therefore success and failure are really mental habits, expressing themselves in physical reality.

Rene Descartes, one of the most important Western philosophers, stated "I think, therefore I am." In other words, thinking is being. You think yourself into being successful. For more success information, go to http://www.theguaranteedcure.com/
