Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life - Z

Day 26 – Zuk Paradox

Success! Together, we have reached the end of the alphabet… and for this, the last –" Z", we discover a phenomenon that I call the Zuk Paradox. What is the Zuk Paradox? It is a little understood principle, a law of nature, that says, any time you make a wish, set a goal or an intention, any and everything hidden in your unconscious mind, for or against your wish, goal or intention, comes to the surface for you to leverage or reconcile. Many of us, however, who do not understand this phenomenon, just stuff it. Guess what happens to stuffed unpleasant stuff!

How does this work?

There really is such a thing as the Law of Attraction. Law of Attraction says that you will attract into your experience that which is like unto your thoughts. So, if you primarily think positive thoughts; then, you will primarily attract positive experiences and things. Conversely, if you primarily think negative thoughts; then, you will primarily attract negative experiences or things. Unfortunately this is not exactly how the Law of Attraction works. A more accurate way to understand it is that you will attract into your experience that which is like unto your energy.

What makes up or determines your energy?

One component of your energy is thought - your conscious mind's random (idle or intentional) chatter or self-talk. That, however, is only one part and by far the least powerful component of your energy. Your unconscious mind contributes the energy of your accumulated karma and of hidden beliefs. What this means to you is one of these possible Attraction scenarios:

Your thoughts are primarily positive and your unconscious mind is weighted positively; then, almost instantly, you attract what you consciously wish, want or intend.
Your thoughts are primarily positive but your unconscious mind is weighted negatively; then, you will most likely not attract what you consciously wish, want or intend. Or, if you do receive what you want; then, you will likely sabotage and lose it. This is where the Ego gained its villainous reputation. Because Ego's primary function is your survival and providing you with insight gathered from your unconscious mind's database – the equivalent of a computer's hard drive – so that you can make an informed decision. Ego also initiates action appropriate to its findings… Consequently, Ego earned the reputation as a saboteur or barrier to success.
Your thoughts are primarily negative and your unconscious mind is also weighted negatively; then, almost instantly, you attract what you consciously imagined.

How does the Zuk Paradox work?

Zuk Paradox gives you a metaphoric window to peek into your unconscious mind, discover some of its content – relative to your wish, goal or intention – which enables you to evaluate, and translate what you discover into something valuable and useful instead of something that limits, blocks or sabotages your ability to actualize your wish, goal or intention.

In other words, Zuk Paradox provides you the means and opportunity to align your energy – exposes hidden limiting and barrier beliefs so that you can remove them as obstacles - to your wish, goal or intention and then you can easily attract what you consciously want.

How can you align your conscious mind with your unconscious mind to attract what you wish, want or intend?

While simple enough, alignment does require effort and intention. Most of us have the ability to learn the hard way but typically, it goes much faster with "instructions" and more effectively with "skilled direction" or coaching. Recently, my husband, our daughter, her husband and her husband's parents and I all tackled the task of constructing a wooden swing set/gym with a "tree house" kind of thing on it for our grandson's birthday. It was so comical that I wish I had video-taped it! Yes, we had step-by-step instructions; but, none of us having any experience in constructing something this complex, we were so challenged. We eventually completed it but not without having put it together wrong and ¾ of the way through the construction having to disassemble and reassemble, practically from the beginning. We could have paid a fee to have someone assemble it for us; that person would have done many times and been able to accomplish the task in a fraction of the time that it took us and with exponentially less stress and errors. This is a good metaphor for understanding the complexity as well as the very realistic ability of changing the beliefs in your unconscious mind.

Remember a time when you assembled something – a model plane, a swing set, a Lego model, a child's tricycle or something similar. Even with instructions it can be a challenge, but with no instructions? Extremely difficult to nearly impossible; with someone who has done it before guiding or coaching the assembly, typically, it goes much smoother.

There are many belief change methodologies to select from; most, however, are temporary, quick fixes at best. When you consider that the purpose for the existence of both belief and karma challenges in the first place is to educate you; then, you can more easily evaluate the different methods' effectiveness.

Affirmations, for example, attempt to force positive energy or add positive energy to the negative to "over power" it. This works if your affirmations are strong enough and consistently applied. It does not, however, assist with learning your lesson. So, the Universe will continue to provide you opportunities to learn and practice mental judo.
Tapping, for example, physically shifts the energy emitted. Again, this is temporary at best. Because you have not confronted and resolved the root cause of the negative energy, opportunities to learn will present again and again until you do learn.
Belief Change Exercise is a very real solution. Following the 10 step exercise enables you to surface hidden beliefs, confront and resolve them, permanently. Life Change Facilitators, people who have already gone through the exercise, cannot do it for you but can help you follow the exercise steps effectively, expediently and smoothly. You can learn more here.

It is my prayer and intention that these 26 letters and their associated blog have been a blessing and helpful to you. Alphabet Scoop is now complete or just begun, again, depending on your perspective! Please, share your comments below, or questions and comments on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

Happy adventures!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life - Y

Day 25 - Yes

Say Yes to risks, adventure and exploring different, unknown and unfamiliar.

My life was very different before I moved to Asia. You might think, well that's to be expected. And, Yes, many of the things that I expected to be different, are different. However, the most profound and meaningful difference is my world view and perspective, values and beliefs have changed dramatically. Now I see things very differently than I did growing up within the confines of my homeland.

I know that this is controversial and many will argue with me – that's okay, we all see things differently through our very different filters of background and experience. And, that is the point! Living outside of the US expanded my background, knowledge and experience. I do not imagine that makes me an expert or that I now know-it-all, but I definitely know more than I did 6 years ago and more than had I stayed in my comfortable, familiar corner of the world.

The controversial topic for the day: The US has so many social programs and services that there is no reason for anyone, living in the US, to do without. That there are people homeless, hungry, without health care or education (unless you are middle class citizen), in a country with a banquet feast of government assistance available to poor (poverty level and below), says that we need to explore the reason(s) that they did not avail themselves of social services available to them – good place to apply the "5 Whys" model. I mean, is the real problem that it is hard to apply; it takes too long to move through the bureaucracy; the que is too long; the qualifications too hard to meet; or, they are middle class citizens recently impoverished? Why, in the United States of America is there a homeless, hungry, uneducated, unhealthy poor person? I understand all too well why this can happen to the middle class; I do not understand why for the poor. It's hard for me to imagine with as much exposure there is in the media that anyone would not know what's available; yet, I can only guess – it is far wiser to step outside our familiar space and ask the people affected, good quality questions that expose the real reason they are homeless and hungry, uneducated and unhealthy in the US.

In Asia, there are not the social services that the US has. Countries like China (yes, China - not the world's "bad guy" any more that we are sometimes still led to believe, and where I live until the end of 2013) and Malaysia (where I lived for 4 years before moving to China 2 years ago) invest a ton of money in their infrastructure and to create "opportunity" which creates the possibility for individuals, and groups of individuals, to build their own success and not NEED social services. I admire much (not all) about their governments' impact on their citizens. Now that's where I want to learn how to succeed – China and Malaysia, my "success models"! Indonesia, Philippines, India, even Thailand not so good. They appear to spend tons of money on lining pockets of "fat cats", domestic and foreign, at the expense of infrastructure, opportunity and their citizens - at least that is my opinion/observation. Since Malaysia and China have begun their improvement programs, life for their citizens (at least for the Bumi Putras in Malaysia but that's a whole other story - no country is PERFECT, including the US, France, GB, etc.) has significantly improved... and rightfully so. (China, by contrast to Malaysia, appears to me to have benefited their minority population, with massive improvements to infrastructure and education – I've witnessed this first hand; although you still hear Minorities complain and resist China's governance – likely, they know something I don't know. I do not claim to be an expert, only an observer. Discrimination against minorities is obvious in Malaysia and favoritism constitutionally legitimized.) In an imperfect world, how can anyone in good conscience begrudge imperfect China and Malaysia legal, moral and ethical economic advances for their general population? How can anyone not want the same for the rest of the impoverished nations of the world?

China coming out of the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution horrific, deadly disasters into economic, social and even political success; I thank God that the apparently wiser leadership that followed Mao recognized his failures (negative impact and deaths on a magnitude that exceeded Hitler's but isn't as popular to lament – could be because China hadn't tried to take over the world like Germany did), must have learned hard lessons from the horrific failures, and have since made genuine great leaps forward. Cambodia is a whole other story altogether; OMGoodness what one man can do to destroy a nation (i.e., Mao Tse Tung, Stalin, Hitler, MANY tyrant dictators in Africa, and good ole PolPot). I lost sleep for many nights after learning what PolPot did to Cambodia using young boys, 12 – 14 years old and some young girls. While I was enjoying my first baby and all the pleasure of my life in the US; I was completely oblivious to millions of lives being lost and destroyed by one man's arrogant, know-it-all whims & *&%# philosophy that inspired his followers to commit horrendous atrocities that I cannot even describe here because of their destructive, emotional impact on me! I don't know what it will take for that country to recover, they clearly don't have the leadership that China has; so, I have to hope and pray that what Angelina Jolie's invests in her oldest son, Maddox, along with any humanitarian effort she inspires, will eventually mature into something positive and constructive for Cambodia and other needy parts our planet. And Bill and Melinda Gates, OMGoodness do I admire the great things they accomplish with their foundation, and fortune, to enable less fortunate citizens of planet earth to have a chance to fulfill their personal greatness. Which leads to why, I wrote this blog for Y today.

Yesterday was The Academy's Governors Awards. I read the article; then, I read the comments below – I genuinely enjoy learning other people's point-of-view. One lady commented that she did not appreciate that Angelina Jolie found it necessary to adopt children from foreign countries when there are so many children not adopted in the US; she seemed to imagine that there is a trend of worrying about how bad off the rest of the world is when our own country has many of the same problems being ignored by these do-gooders. My reply (along with much of this blog's information): "It is truly sad that there are children not adopted in the US; and, that there are people adversely affected in the US. But, at least there are a zillion government agencies, in the US, that they can seek aid from - not so in most foreign countries. I remember asking a friend from Viet Nam why her family had wanted to move to the US, expecting (based on growing up during the Viet Nam war and all that meant to forming my opinion of Viet Nam) to hear horror stories about communism and assumed there would be a strong desire to escape it; her answer, however, was surprising... '...because of US' social services - there are no social services in Viet Nam', was her answer."

There is an Oscar Wilde quote, "when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me." The way to minimize assumptions is education and experience. Much can be gained from reading, studying and researching; and I will be the first to say that that is essential. However, I have learned, that nothing I read, studied or researched prepared me for what I learned and gained from experiencing life – people, places and culture - in Asia. I am so grateful that my husband said Yes" to his company's offer of a job opportunity in Malaysia and then again in China. We are changed and even better people, better citizens of planet earth, than we were when we moved here 6 years ago.

My rant today is complete! Please, share your comments below, or on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

Happy adventures!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life - X

Day 23 – Xanadu

Xanadu, not just a movie that Olivia John starred in way back when; Xanadu is a fictional, ideal, luxurious place that is magnificent – some might even say perfect.

Like utopia it is a fictional idyllic place and like nirvana could well be an end result of spiritual development.

There is value to imagining an idyllic place, especially if you acknowledge that what you are doing is creating a vision of what is possible – a lofty goal to aspire for - and admit that there is a gap between where you are currently and where you want to be at some point in the future. In other words, you and I live in an imperfect world; it is unwise to imagine it should be other than it is. However, that being said, holding a vision of "perfection" or "ideal" enables us to move in that direction – progress or advance – from imperfect towards perfect. And, that my friends, is a worthy goal and mission.

Along the way from imperfection towards perfection, it is in our best interest, and that of others, to realize that everybody has a different idea of what perfection should look like, and really, everybody is right for them. We get into trouble when we attempt to impose our idea of perfection on others. There is nothing wrong with enrolling others in your vision – like-minded people are comfortable. However, because this is an imperfect world, none of us holds the one and only vision of perfection – including me and including you. The good news is that if we can rise above our self and genuinely be open to listen, consider, value and respect the knowledge, experience and wisdom that another brings to the table; then, you can leverage synergy. Synergy enables you to move one step closer to a perfection that neither party can reach on their own. This is not easy. This requires uncommon maturity, genuine curiosity and self-discipline to understand another's point of view. More than anything, it requires sincere humbleness – a willingness to accept that neither you, nor I, know everything; yet, together we know more and knowing more is good.

So how can Xanadu better your life? Simple really – have I mentioned before that simple is not necessarily easy???

Describe your ideal, luxurious place (or solution to a significant problem or even, ideal you) that is magnificent, perhaps even perfect.
1. Think of everything that you want for your Xanadu
2. Think of everything that you absolutely do not want for your Xanadu
3. Flip each item on your do not want list into an opposite and add it to your want for Xanadu list – trash or delete the do not wants
Understand the GAP between where you are today and your personal Xanadu
Identify the essential steps that you must take to close the GAP – what must change to make Xanadu your reality?

If you are real ambitious, invite others to join your quest. It really can be fun and it can be excellent training ground for gaining synergy skills.

Happy designing - thinking differently, I hope!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life - W

Day 22 – What, Where, Why, When, With Whom???

The common theme to all of the WWords listed above are that they begin a question and the questions that you ask are extraordinarily powerful – they determine your focus and your focus determines your direction and experience.

If you know and believe that, then you can leverage their power.

Tony Robbins suggests some powerful questions to ask yourself every morning – you can learn more about them here. There is no good reason to duplicate Tony's words here; instead, I am going to expand upon yesterday's blog and focus on powerful questions that you can ask yourself to discover and leverage your personal, valuable contribution. Some questions that I encourage you to ask and answer include:

What one problem, if I solved it would improve my life significantly?
Where else might the solution that I develop benefit others?
Why is solving this problem a good idea for myself?
- Why is solving this problem a good idea for others?
- What are the benefits of solving this problem?
- What are the risks of solving this problem? What plans might I make to offset or eliminate those risks?
- What other opportunities might arise from solving this problem?
When is a good time for me to Work on solving this problem? When am I available to solve this problem?
With Whom might I partner or form a team to leverage synergy and solve this problem?

When you ask and answer the questions above, the Way and how are revealed in perfect order!

Happy solving - thinking differently, I hope!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life - V

Day 21 – Value

"God calls us not to be successful but to be significant. When we focus on significance, success is often part of the package." Tom Ziglar (son of Zig)

I think many people wish to be significant; I think many people just aren't sure how to be significant. Actually, it isn't as difficult as you might imagine – add Value to others: people, planet, animals! You might be asking, "How do I add Value?" The answer lies in your thinking – think as a problem solver – again, as in the past, I encourage you to think within the boundaries of legal, moral and ethical if not because it is the right thing to do; then, please think legal, moral and ethical because you fear the consequences of Karma if you do not!

Ideas for your Consideration:

Gather a group of friends and brainstorm then discuss ideas: what problems do you see that you might be able to solve – as a team? Read about Synergy, "Day 19", here.
Answer the question: "what one problem in my life, if I solved it, would most improve my life?"
Think "different": there is an old but appropriate cliché, "if you keep on doing what you keep on doing, you keep on getting what you keep on getting!" It's true! Read about Change, "Day 18", here.
Learn how-to better use your mind to clear the path to your success and to make the journey easier and more fun! Read about Quarks, "Day 17" here and Use, "Day 20".
Strive to continue to mature – I know that it can have a bad reputation but true maturity totally makes your life experience more pleasant, comfortable and fulfilling. Read about Maturity, "Day 13 ½", here.
Make the most of your life experience. Enjoy the sights, scents, flavors, sounds and feelings that you attract; then, attract even better! Read about Doing, Day 4", here.
Finally, for this post, and possibly the most important thing that you can gain from this blog: know your Values! Ask and answer, "What is most important to me about _____?" Fill in the blank with things like: "how I add Value", my role as a spouse, parent, family member, friend, employee, team member, community member, citizen of ... Then, live true to your Values.

Well now that you've learned some of my ideas about how to add Value; what ideas do you have? Please share, either in the comments section below, or on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

Happy thinking – differently, I hope!

Day 20 – Use

Short and sweet today!

When you think about people who have access to electricity but for some reason or another choose not to Use it, what do you think? Do you Use electricity? What do you Use electricity for? How is your life better because mankind learned how to harness electricity's powerful energy and channel it through light bulbs, toasters, blenders, heaters and so much more to enhance your life experience?

Similarly, you have the ability to channel the power of God energy through your conscious mind to create anything you want. I imagine the God energy to be that elusive something that the smartest, most highly educated men and women cannot capture, quantify or duplicate - that space between electrons, protons and nutrons that photons navigate and is the difference between a live human being and a dead body... You can Use that God energy similar to the way you Use electricity to make things happen; and the good news is – it is FREE! It is neither a violation of God in any way nor a trick of the serpent; it is a talent of our developing spiritual expression. We are supposed to Use it. Mastering our mind and channeling the Life Source energy within us is part of the advancement of our species. Just as we learned to walk, talk and work; the next step is learning to harness our Spiritual tools to cause good things to happen for yourself, for others and for this planet. John 14:12

Please let us know your thoughts on Using God energy to intentionally create your hopes and dreams. What would you create if you could master this skill? Please share, either in the comments section below, or on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

Happy creation!!!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life - T

Day 19 – Truth

What is the "Truth"? I seem to return often to things I learned from Jesus; I respect and value his teaching! Matthew 7:16, "…you will know them by their fruits…" nothing more concise and simple than that for discerning fact from fiction. In my education and training, over the course of many years, I studied multiple religions. Living in Asia I've had the rare experience to observe and learn about many of those religions first hand. Some religious doctrine, in my opinion, is man filtered, based on a seed of truth that became distorted and corrupted – used and abused to successfully manipulate the masses; by their fruits they are known!

So what is the Truth? Is there just one Truth or is the Truth found scattered throughout the corruptible works of many? I am inclined to believe the later. I seem to find Truth in many sources, right alongside the corrupted; fortunately, this neither invalidates nor renders useless the Truth I discover.

As a young Uni student, studying Chemistry, Biology and Anatomy & Physiology, two of my professors decided that I was a likely candidate to be convinced of their atheistic – no God – approach to life. They kindly, and all in good humor, lectured, even showed me films in their efforts to educate me. However, all their efforts, alongside my nursing experiences and classroom knowledge combined to form a nonreligious belief in a God energy – a single, spiritual "source" energy that flows in and through us, gives our human body life and then experiences this world as us, more like (but not the same as) electricity than it is like a human.

In Chemistry I learned that no matter is either lost or destroyed, it only changes states; while I imagined that Spirit is not matter, rather uses matter to accomplish its goals, I still believe that like matter, it is neither lost nor destroyed – I imagine it just "gets out of the body" (like I get out of a car) and returns to itself until its next opportunity to enter a body. Of course I cannot prove any of this is the Truth; everything regarding Spiritual matters is hypothetical. The only source I have is the Spiritual expression of the One Source living in and through me and the wisdom it acquired over the course of this and likely many lifetimes before. I share my beliefs here only as one alternative perspective not the definitive one and only right way; and, as the foundation for Part 2 of this blog.

Part 2 - Another Valuable T Word

Transcend

While Buddhism and Hinduism set an ultimate goal of a human life as Enlightenment; as with every other abstract concept, there are multiple interpretations and applications. For my purposes in this blog, I use "Enlightenment" to mean "awakening" and "awakening" to include:

Knowing the true nature of mankind – an expression of Spirit living in and through a Human Body – possibly "Prajna"
Understanding and Mastery of the Mind – conscious and unconscious - possibly "Bodhi"
Transcending Karma – choosing good because it is the right thing to do rather than because of fear of consequence or desire for reward – "Enlightened"

And, "awakening" to not include:

Returning to Spirit while in human form – this is different from listening to Spirit or "Source Energy" while in a meditative state
Eschewing the human experience – Spirit is in this body to enjoy five senses and leverage emotion on a journey to learn from then master them so that good is my only option

The Sufi's, for my purposes, outline a most effective vision of Enlightenment – "be in the world but not of the world" - Transcend the ways of the world and adopt a higher, spiritual consciousness – that we can accomplish by leveraging Paul's instruction in Romans 12:2 to "be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind". And, to accomplish this, Jesus gave us the way in two very simple instructions Matthew 22:37-40:

"Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.
"And the second is like unto the first, Love thy neighbors as yourself."

These instructions are so totally profound and simple that they somehow got lost amid a huge context. Any time, faced with a choice, compare it to these 2 instructions and you will certainly do the right thing. Jesus tells us that, "On these two commandments hang all the Law and all of the Prophets." In other words, all laws and all prophets words can be condensed down to one of these to commandments. I believe that if everybody applied these two commandments to every aspect of their lives, we would no longer need wars, police, governments, laws – human beings would and will practice self-discipline and always choose right and good. I look forward to that day!

Please let us all know your thoughts on Truth, Transcendence and how they can better your personal life. Please share, either in the comments section below, or on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

Happy Today!!!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your LIfe - S

Day 19 – Synergy

One of the most important and powerful aspects of interdependence is the gathering of diverse minds and mature souls to create, develop and produce extraordinary solutions as the direct result of Synergy – otherwise known as 1 + 1 = 3. That equation doesn't make sense you might say; but really, it makes a lot of sense. Humor me for a minute:

Imagine that you are the world's leading expert on chocolate and your enemy is the world's leading expert on peanuts – you don't like peanuts and your friend doesn't like chocolate; yet, you have a hungry group of people clamoring to be fed. Now, you can be obstinate and insist that chocolate is the solution to all that ails that hungry group of people and your friend can be equally insistent that only peanuts can satisfy their starving bellies. Compromise would require one of you to give up so that the other could win; but, synergy and collaboration would require you to both share your wisdom and experience in such a way that you could come up with something that contains the best elements that both of you have to contribute to create something that is neither all peanuts nor all chocolate but could very well be a Snickers candy bar that contains the right mix of both plus some caramel to hold it all together. Voila, a win-win outcome for everybody, including the starving crowd! 1 chocolate + 1 peanut = 3^rd product, the Snickers Bar.

Now I suspect that many people (particularly politicians & media reps) would claim that they are mature and value diversity – I suggest that the evidence - considering the polarization, hate and blatant disrespect for each other and opposing viewpoints - proves differently. A Synergistic approach to solving problems requires:

Respect for differing thoughts, opinions, backgrounds and cultures' contribution
Transcends "I'm right/you're wrong" rhetoric with listening to understand and feeling compassion for a fellow human being's perspective and contribution toward developing a win/win outcome
Genuine interest in collaboratively building something greater than any one person or "side" could create, develop and produce on their own
Efforts toward unity rather than toward division

A Synergistic, collaborative approach to solving problems or creating fantastic products is for grown-ups. Mud-slinging, inflammatory, divisive, win-lose tactics so prevalent in politics around the globe are out-dated and immature. It is time that mature, respectful, collaborative adults raise their voice and affect a real change in government.

Resources

I am a huge fan of Dr. Stephen Covey. His work in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People lays a powerful, moral and ethical – holistic - foundation for any person in any walk of life, in any culture; Habit 6 is to Synergize. His book, The 3^rd Alternative, is the ultimate source for insight in how to resolve any conflict with Synergy. Please read the article on his book here. You may purchase his book from Amazon here. There are other resources out there; these, however, are the best.

Please let us all know your thoughts on where Synergy and collaboration can better your personal life. Please share, either in the comments section below, or on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

Happy collaboration!!!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life – Day 18

Day 18 – Risk & Receive Rewards

One song that made a profound impact on Steve Jobs' life was a Bob Dylan song titled "Times They Are A-Changin'". Family and friends, times they are a-changin', in fact; they never stop changing but sometimes it seems there are significant changes that happen – like invention of fire, wheel, brass, printing press, telephones, penicillin, automobiles, cameras, mass production, television/movie theatres, polio vaccine and most recently personal computers, smart phones and the world wide web, just to name a few of the seemingly monumental human milestones that radically revolutionize our daily lives – then, there follows a period of innovation, including how can we adapt our daily lives to leverage these tools. One aspect of this time of adaptation is an inevitable out with the old way of doing things and in with the new; this is not always fun and pleasant. Sometimes it is truly a challenge because it requires us to take Risks, stretch our familiar, comfort zones to receive Rewards.

For example, prior to the USA's Civil War, about 150 years ago, shoes were made by hand, by "cobblers". That was the only way they were made; that's all people knew. That's how it had always been done! Today, I wonder if our children and grandchildren think that a cobbler has always had fruit in it and is pleasantly edible – they have only purchased shoes in a store or online! The Civil War created an extraordinary huge demand for shoes, for its army's many foot soldiers, that exceeded the ability of US' cobblers to meet. Consequently, mass production of shoes became a solution for the problem of the time and out of that solution was born a new norm. Mass produced shoes were less expensive and marketed differently so were immediately available. Soon, cobblers found themselves out of business and in need of an alternative form of earning an honest living. Do you think it would have been "better" for the US, and its citizens, if after the Civil War, we returned to cobbler made shoes so that those cobblers could continue earning a living the only way they knew? The same thing has happened to countless trades or familiar ways of doing things throughout history and it is happening today. When it happens, it causes some people to get creative, innovative and even inventive; these people take great Risks to Receive their Rewards. What is the alternative? When there are significant changes to the world as you know it and you become uncomfortable, what do you do? Are you one who turns lemons into lemonade or do you throw a grand pity party and invite all your friends and relatives to join in?

Now, I do not infer that this is easy; it is not! The biggest challenge can be summed up by another Steve Jobs' slogan: Think Different. If you haven't read Walter Isaacson's authorized biography, Steve Jobs, I highly recommend it. Granted he was an imperfect man – we all are – yet, there is much to be gained from Steve, beginning with Think Different. How might our world be different today if he had been "reasonable" and a follower of the herd? That same seed of genius is within each of us, nurturing and growing it is the challenge and a choice.

Step into Your Success

Step 1, let go of wishing things would return to the way they were; instead, ask, "How can I benefit myself and others leveraging this new set of circumstances?" Historically, people who asked and answered this question thrive and succeed while others remain "stuck", holding on to the past. You can join the successful with a simple shift of perspective - step 2, choose to see, think and act different. Step 3, take Risks. Dare to create a magnificent, unreasonable vision – begin with the end in mind – and, then, do whatever it takes (legally, morally & ethically)* to make your vision, your reality.

Resources

There are many resources at your fingertips – a huge benefit of our day and age. In addition to the internet, you have a network of family and friends – be a leader, inspire them with your vision. Allow them to punch holes in it – patching those holes can only make your vision stronger, more powerful. Feed your mind, study those who, like Steve Jobs, successfully think outside the box. Another good one to learn from is Randy Gage, his book, Risky is the New Safe will put to rest any doubts you might have that this all nonsense. I have a couple of articles on kindle for electronic download that offer some helpful ideas: The App: Help in the Palm of Your Hand and No Strings Attached – Home Based Business. There are many resources available – just ask, "Where can I find what I need to make this _______ work?" …fill in the blank and/or use your own words to script a powerful question that is meaningful and moving for you!

Risks and Rewards

Many of the most successful people see a problem and solve it for themselves and for others. Simple. They are willing to take Risks and Receive Rewards as fair exchange in direct proportion to the benefit their solution provides others. How great is that? What problem can you solve that would make the world a better place for yourself, your family, your friends, the inhabitants of the planet and/or the planet itself? What would you be willing to do to solve this problem? Who else do you know that might be able to join you in solving the problem? What resources do you already have that you can leverage? What other resources might you need and where might you begin acquiring them? Make a plan and make it happen.

Please let us all know what problem you intend to solve, what Risks you plan to take, either in the comments section below or on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

* I imagine that one purpose for a human life, as it is today, is for each of us to learn to play well with others. Because it is not human's first nature to be considerate, kind, compassionate, respectful and peaceful every time, laws and rules were invented to guide and direct us. It is an aspiration of mine to influence my fellow citizens of planet earth to advance as a species in the direction of consideration, kindness, compassion, respect and peace every time, because it is the right thing to do – in other words without desire for benefit or fear of consequence - so that there no longer exists a need for laws and rules. If you wish to debate this belief, I value your insight and opinion here.

Happy solving!!!

Alphabet Scoop – 26 Days to Better Your Life Day 17

Day 17 – Quarks

If you are not a scientist, you may wonder, "Why should I care about a Quark, why should I learn anything about them and how on earth can knowing about Quarks better my life?"

Why you should care about a Quark?

The number 1 reason is so that you can fully grasp that the you of you is not your body, or anything material at all. Rather, the you of you is a life force, an energy that for some period of time inhabits a body that is made of matter and matter is made of Quarks compiled in such a way as to enable the you of you to experience this Universe.

The second reason is so that you can fully comprehend, assimilate and begin to leverage the concept that you, with nothing more than your focus and intention, can cause matter to do or be what you want it to do or be. In fact, you do this already, albeit, unconsciously or absent mindedly. This is the reason that it is a really good idea for you to gain understanding and learn how to be the master of the Quarks in your universe.

Where can you learn more about Quarks and how to use them to better your life?

A good place to begin to learn about Quarks is to click on the link in the word Quark The next place that I recommend that you go to gain more knowledge and understanding is a movie, What The Bleep Do We Know, Down The Rabbit Hole, that you can watch on You Tube for free (Part 1 here and Part 2 here) or you can purchase it on Amazon.com here. This movie is a most entertaining and educational way to learn about Quantum Mechanics, a.k.a., Quantum Physics and how it affects your daily life. It effectively demonstrates your ability to use your mind – intention and focus – to manipulate the Quarks in your universe, as well as how "connectivity" works.

Actually, Quantum Mechanics supports and validates some Christian and other religious beliefs:

Some of my Christian friends have suggested to me that this belief, this movie and these scientific studies oppose Christian doctrine; I disagree. In fact, I believe they explain and support Jesus' instruction in John Chapter 14:12."…he that believeth on me, the works that I do, he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." This, as well as all the times Jesus was recorded as saying, paraphrased, ask for what you want and you will get it can be totally validated, confirmed and used when you understand Quantum Mechanics.

Tool for Success

Simple isn't always easy! Just wanting to focus and cause your universe to give you what you want is step one; and, you will most likely eventually get there. However, Life Change the App, available in both iOS (Apple) or Android (Google), is a powerful tool to speed up the mastery process. Soulmate Attracter exercise is a powerful tool to help you clarify and focus on what you want; Belief Change and Karma Change exercises help you clean up your energy field while Emotion Transformer exercise helps you focus and leverage the power of your emotions. Check it out at www.LifeChangeApp.com.

Another excellent resource is a book by Pam Grout called E Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality; you can purchase it, very inexpensive, here. This is a very simple book to read and the experiments are something you can easily do and prove to yourself that you absolutely can, and do, manipulate the Quarks in your universe every day.

24 Hour Challenge:

Prove me right or wrong! Seriously, do the following exercise now – you have nothing to lose and everything to gain: Decide that you would like to receive a set amount of money, make it be a meaningful amount, and ask Jesus or the Universe – whatever fits your belief system – to provide you that specific amount, in an unexpected but legal, moral & ethical way (sorry, that is my "map" being projected on you) within 24 hours from the time you make your request. I like to write my request down on a piece of paper but, again, that is my "map". The only important things to do are:

ask and then
look for, and
notice when and how your money "shows up" for you

Money is actually one of the easiest things to manifest! Prove it to yourself then, use the Life Change the App to decide what to ask for next! (Soulmate Attracter can help you attract a Soulmate or you can substitute "soulmate" with the word "car", or "home", or "job", or "business", or "clients"…or anything that you want.) Please take the 24-hour challenge and let us know what you manifest for yourself, either in the comments section below or on the Facebook Discussion Group page here.

Happy manifesting!!!
