Can't Find What You Are Looking For?

You don't see with your eyes - you see with your brain!

Every second, over 400 billion bits of information flood into the brain, via all your senses, yet you are only consciously aware of about 2000 bits of information.

What happened to the other 399.99999 billion bits of information? Well, your unconscious mind remembers everything, but that's not much use to you unless you know how to recall it.

What is important is what determines which bits you "see", and which get skipped over.

That all-important, life-shaping decision is made moment to moment, day or night, awake or asleep, by a part of your brain called the reticular activating system (RAS).

The RAS is literally a little net made up of nerve pathways, at the base of your brain that connects the spinal cord, cerebellum and cerebrum. It acts as a filter for all the sensory input that you see, feel, hear, taste of smell. It then relays the signal on to the appropriate part of the brain for processing.

A mother who is fast asleep will wake at the slightest whimper of her baby, even when she is sleeping in a different room.

I once bought a Honda CRV, it was pillar box red, I was certain this was the only one of that color. Until I drove it home, then I saw them everywhere! How is that possible? Did everyone go out and buy one on the same day? No. I just became aware of them. They were there all the time. I just didn't 'see' them. Until I bought the car, my unconscious mind was programmed to not see a pillar box red Honda CRV, as soon as I bought one (has some emotional attachment to it), the programming changed and I could see them everywhere.

If you type the word 'poverty' into Google, what do you get? 167 billion references to poverty!
If you type the word 'wealth' into Google, you get 291 billion references to wealth.

Your RAS does the same thing for you, but it does it so quickly, it makes Google look like a chalk board.

Here is the most important thing about the RAS. When you program a specific idea or goal into it, no matter if you are asleep or awake, thinking about it or not, the RAS will do its job to filter through 400 billion bits of information every second to find precisely what you've told it to find.

When you create a clear focused picture of what you want, and emotionalise it, your RAS kicks in and doesn't stop until it finds what you are looking for.

Get CLEAR.
Get FOCUSED.
Get EMOTIONAL (in a good positive way).

Solving Your Business and Goals Puzzle

Success, in whatever field you choose, is not that complicated - as long as you understand how to look at it.

Think about the Rubik's Cube for a moment, a six sided puzzle, six colors, nine stickers on each side, and all you you have to do is match them up. Simple right?

Well what if I sat you down, blindfolded you, and put a mixed up Rubik's cube in your hand, if you started twisting it randomly, how long do you think it would take you to solve it?

Scientists estimate that it could take you up to six billion years! That's a long time.

Do you know that there are guys that can solve the Rubik's cube in less than six seconds?! There are guys that can solve it blindfolded, or behind their back (after memorizing it), guys that can do it with their feet, and even whilst juggling.

Now let's blindfold you again, sit you down, and put a mixed up Rubik's cube in your hand. This time we'll bring in one of these experts into the room. he won't tell you what to do, he'll just say "Yes" or "No" every time you make a move.

Do you think this will shorten the time it takes? Absolutely. This time, to match up all the colors, it will take you less than two minutes!

Your business, or your success journey, is a lot more like that Rubik's cube than you might imagine. It's not that it's complicated, after all the Cube only has 6 sides. It's just that at every twist you are faced with choices. Do you want to spend 6 billion years getting there, or 2 minutes?

Whether you are growing your dream business, or any dream, there is a systematic process that boils down to this:

You need to know, out of all the possible things you could be doing, which are the critically important few actions that you must take. And you need to be doing those few things every single day.

You could spend six billion years figuring those things out for yourself, or you could get a coach and/or a mentor.

Are Your Goals Worthy of You?

Don't ask if you are worthy of your goals - 

 - ask yourself "Are my goals worthy of me?"

Ya Gotta Give It Time

Ambitious people tend to be impatient.

Ambitious people have big appetites for achievement.

Ambitious people like to think big and dream bigger.

Ambitious people want things to happen fast.

That's good. But you have to be careful. 

For every seed there is a set gestation or incubation period, a specific span of time that it needs to establish itself, to unfold from a blueprint to fully realised physical form.

This is true whether it be a mustard seed, an oak tree, a lamb, or a human being. All have different specific periods before they become fully grown.

Your goals are seeds, they have gestation periods  from the moment you planted the seed of an idea, to the time it is fully realised. The hard part is that we simply don't know how long that period is.
How long will it take to attract your soul mate for the ideal relationship? How long will it take to attract the resources, the tools, the people, the money and the circumstances to achieve your goals?

We have no idea. But we do know that it will take some time. And we know too that if you keep digging up the seed, you will stop the process dead in it's tracks.

If you force an idea, it will never work. If you push the process, it will push back. You have to allow your goal seed to germinate and grow, to take root, and find its resources in its own time.

Let go of impatience. Trust in your own resourcefulness and in the Universe around you.

The Universe is ready and willing to give you everything you want, once you are clear on what that is, and are patient enough to let it do its work, while you are simultaneously working toward it without impatient expectation.

Is everything within you?

When I first got into personal development, way back when, Tony Robbins had me chanting "All I need is within me now, all I need is within me Now, all I need is within me NOW!"

Problem was, I didn't believe it. I'd set my goals, visualise them, do affirmations, but deep down inside I really didn't believe it was going to happen for me. And guess what? I was right!

Recently my fiancee was germinating some seeds, supposedly an 'activated' seed is better for you in your smoothie than a regular dry seed.

 We took one of those germinated seeds, and planted it in our little vege patch.

Soon it shot up, and all too soon, it became a beautiful towering sunflower

When you look at that little seed in the palm of your hand, do you see a massive sunflower? Where is it? Is it in the seed? Could you find it if you cracked the seed open? No, all you find inside is a seed that contains the possibility of a sunflower, an idea of a sunflower.

Yet if you plant that seed in fertile soil, the seed will attract to it the water, the nutrients, the sunlight and the air. It will attract to itself all that it needs to transform that invisible, immaterial idea into a fully formed sunflower.

Note that the seed didn't just sit there and wait for everything to happen - it took massive action - by sending out roots and leaves to be able to attract even more of the things it needs to achieve its goal.

So when we first planted that seed, where was the sunflower? It was not in the seed - it was scattered in pieces of sunflower potential throughout its environment.

Goals are achieved in exactly the same way. When you have the idea for a goal, the actual goal is not inside you, but several weeks/months/years from now, your goal will reach fruition.

And remember it takes time to grow a sunflower, you don't go digging it up every five minutes to see if its growing. You just go about watering it, doing what you have to do, while it does what it has to do, all the while knowing that the sunflower is coming.

You'll see it when you believe it.

All you need really is within you, the rest is around you, and its yours, you just gotta believe it is.

To your success,
Trevor Long
