If you find yourself going in circles and not getting anywhere
with your life, personal or business, this article will help give you
the power to break the endless loop.
Look at every part of
whatever you want to do and find the part or parts that are being done
wrong. For example, if it is your business, you would examine the
marketing, employees, pricing, production, debts, expenses, etc. If it
is personal, you could objectively review your attitude and character,
if you are open minded, and I mean really open minded, not just think
you are. Do you treat people with respect, do you think you are always
right, etc. For personal issues like this, you will need someone who
knows you to give you their opinion as yours will be flawed.
In a
business situation, the problem is usually a combination of both a
business issue and your character. If it is an aspect of your personal
life, although the problem is found in your character, it probably is
expressed and can be found in how you work or run your business.
It
takes beginning with an assumption that everything you are doing is
wrong. In business, accept that you are not capable nor adequately
skilled in your field, nor in how to be a true entrepreneur. You are
basically a kid who knows nothing at all. Without this sincere attitude,
you will not be able to see the objective reality.
Next, you must
be willing to take out the garbage and wash the floors or do anything
and everything that is required to run the business. That is what I did
for my stores even though I was the owner and had employees. In a
relationship, you should be happy to help in any way the other person
needs without thought, just respond immediately to any need.
This
puts your ego in its place as a servant rather than immature master who
wants to be the boss and thinks itself more capable than it actually is,
or, above doing the dirty work. That attitude is guaranteed disaster.
Certainly, Donald Trump can be as arrogant as he wants, but he was born
into wealth. You do not have that head start and cannot afford to be
selective of your tasks.
If you want to start a new business, you
have to do it all yourself or you will not understand it well enough to
make it succeed. When there is a problem, if you have to pay someone
else to fix it, they will not do a great job, and you will spend all
your capital, thus ending up with no money at the end of the year.
Find
something that you can do entirely on your own to build up some capital
and experience. If you cannot do it, then your first step is to learn
how, get the skill to a high level, then start the business. As the
business grows, then hire people to work for you.
Your life is in your hands, make sure they are clean and ready for hard work.
Imagine
that you are operating on your own body, which is where you live. In
this case, it is the body of your world which you are operating on, that
means your life including business and personal relationships.
Our
consciousness lives within our body. Nothing mystical or special about
it, simply the objective fact. I am conscious but I am limited and
restricted to my body. I cannot go anywhere or do anything other than
with the use of my body, so I live within my body, my body is my world.
My
body lives within the larger body of my life. My life comprises my
home, my work, the company if I own the business, and of course, the
relationships with the people close to me.
If I do not like
someone, and I am in a good mood but then meet with that person, all of a
sudden my mood may change. It is like going from the warm dry house out
into the snow or rain, I get wet and cold, i.e. in a negative mood. My
body has changed its physical condition based on entering the larger
body of the environment. Likewise, coming in from the cold, I enter the
body of the house and am warm and dry.
The environment, the body I
am in at the moment, can be the climate and physically felt (the body
of the planet), or emotional and mood altering (the events or people I
am with, the body of my thoughts and emotions). Of course, your mood can
be altered by the weather. All these things are the bodies your
physical body goes in and out of at all times.
I live in my
physical body and my body lives in the body of the building I am in or
the body of the world and the weather at the moment. The climate of that
building or the weather is effected by the people near me or in the
room. Thus those people make, and in a way become, the body my physical
body presently resides within.
My mind determines what my hands do
as well as the words my mouth utters. My hands and mouth are effecting
the larger body that my physical body is in. If they are dirty, and they
ruin the business or home life, my whole life becomes infected and ill.
This
is why I say, keep your hands and mouth clean, and you will always have
perfect health in the larger body of all the things in your life.
Consciousness
is cleanliness. Consciousness is awareness and respect. To succeed in
your life and goals, be aware, respectful and humble. This can be
summarized in one word; realistic.
