The Most Expensive Thing That You Can Own...A Closed Mind!

 

The journey in life is all about discovery – discovery of self, the real me, the real you – not the closed, unaware and restricted self but the open (willing), aware and unrestricted self that lies within each of us – the spirit of who we really are!

The journey towards our higher self cannot start until we have moved out of the territory of closed (unwilling) and unaware into the territory of open (willing) and aware.  We have all been duped to one degree or another, depending on our upbringing and life’s experiences.

The more open and willing we are, the more aware we become. 

The ability to open our minds and experience our true power lies in the magnitude of our SEPA (Self Esteem Positive Attitude). Open mindedness unfolds the territory that leads to habits of self mastery. These habits of self mastery always increase our openness and awareness and consequently our degree of SEPA, i.e. how we feel about ourselves.

 

We, in actual fact, live and move and have our being in cycles.  All of life, material and otherwise, is based on cyclic systems.  These systems continually move us towards success or failure and determine whether we are in our out of control.

How I feel about myself depends on the degree of mastery I have over self!

Let us then examine the governing of life through the cyclic systems of control.

 

All systems work to track you into or out of control.  Each systemic team is made up of individual team members and if the system is designed to produce control, then it creates a cohesive team, thus producing positive control.  This applies to all forms of life – human or otherwise.

For example, on the material side of life, if an architect designs a building correctly from the individual team members of the foundations right through to the walls, floors, ceilings, roof, plumbing, electricity, etc., the overall team of individual parts will be cohesive and the building will remain in control and able to serve its purpose through all kinds of weather and external influences.

 

This exact same process applies also to human life.  All of life is made of teams starting with me as the Number One team.  For this example, let us take a company or business team.  A company is made up of individuals working together in teams that form the corporate team or corporation.  If the corporate architects have designed the company correctly, each individual will be able to work cohesively with self and others, thus producing an overall harmonious and productive work place.  This creates an environment of Success Encouragement Teams (SET).

 

In this world of constant and dynamic changes, a SET culture is the foundation upon which corporations will continue to grow, thrive and become financially viable under all kinds of economic weather and outside influences.  Success encouragement teams typify an environment in which team members inspire Courage, Confidence and Hope towards one another’s personal and corporate goals. 

 

Success Encouragement Teams are, in fact, Self Directed Work Teams and form the basis of a Learning Organisation.

Just as the key to any building is the foundation upon which all other parts rely, we as humans are the individual foundation upon which others rely.  Unless I am living according to my design and experience internal harmony (rather than conflict or internal opposition), how can I expect to live or work cohesively with others or they with me?    

 

Journeying through the jungle of life requires that I do it one step at a time, in the cyclic systems of Self Perpetuating Victories rather than cyclic systems of Self Perpetuating Defeats.

The first step into the master’s territory is simple – Be Open!

 

All that you need for the journey is within you, trust that this is so, and remain open, no matter what you encounter along the way.

How to Get What You Want
Getting what you want from life is everyone’s desire and basic right. Why is it then that so many people do not have what they want and seem powerless and uninterested in changing? The answer is that many do not know how to change or where to begin.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for following up with me.

 

I have spoken with several doctors and the feedback has been excellent.  The attendees found it valuable as well as invigorating; a nice break from the usual clinical content.  Many have commented that it was a good reminder for work-life balance.

 

The Roche attendees loved it, and it has sparked many discussions here.

Thanks again, Richard, and also I would very much like to subscribe to your e-newsletter.
