Moving beyond pain to glorious success
Hello my friend:
Super Bowl week. Hoopla.
Biggest TeeVee even of the year... especially this year
with the Patriots one win away from a potential 19 and Oh
season.
And as in every other part of life, someone is going to
lose.
It's all around us constantly.
When a salesperson makes a sale, that means someone else
lost one.
Whenever someone gets married, all the potential other
suitors missed out.
When it rains, outdoor event planners and party goers have
to deal with it.
Even when firemen perform heroic feats, that still means
that a family - or many families - are still homeless and
need to figure out what to do.
So it's up to each of us to learn how to deal with the
inevitable downs that are part of life.
Our research shows this to be what I call a core
"releasing" pattern... a mental ability to reduce the
physical and/or emotional pain or discomfort after an
injury or other setback of some type.
Life can be cruel and unfair, but inside each one of us is
the built in ability to move beyond our challenges and
setbacks and grow and improve from them.
There are two primary ways it's done.
First is to mentally "see" the setback as small, your mind
literally "playing tricks" on you so that you simply don't
feel great pain since the problem "seems" smaller.
This is a good thing.
Taken too far, though, and it's fantasy... seeing things
through "rose-colored glasses" as it's called. But even
that's better than deeply feeling sorrow over things you
have no control over at all.
Taken way too far and it's called delusional, even
schizophrenic. People get locked up in padded rooms when
they get too delusional.
Shrinking down problems so as to lessen pain, though, as
long as it's not taken to extremes is one of the most
effective mental abilities you can possess in order to
press on in life and do what you were put here to do.
The second way to handle inevitable setbacks in life is to
give them different meanings, to see them as different
somehow.
Yes, just another mental ability.
For anyone familiar with the movie, 'Remember The Titans,'
based on a true story of neighboring school districts
merging into one district, you'll recall one of the main
characters, Gerry Bertier, a high school All-American
linebacker, was in an automobile collision and became
paralyzed from the waist down.
Shortly after the wreck, with his friends all round his
bed in the hospital room, his coach began talking about
"reflection" and prayer, when Gerry cut him off and said,
"Coach, I'm hurt. I ain't dead."
And then he said that he'd been reading up on what people
in wheelchairs can do and had learned they have Olympics
for people in wheelchairs.
The rest of the story, but not part of the movie, was that
Gerry later went on to win a gold medal in the shot put,
was active in helping other people with disabilities, and
did his very best to live as normal a life as he possibly
could.
So just as our thought/behavior modification programs
strengthen this mental ability in everyone who uses them,
Gerry saw his injury as small, just another challenge that
he would overcome and he chose to see his injury as giving
his life a different meaning. He would simply take a
different route to get to the same destination he was
already headed toward.
This mental pattern, handling setbacks, no matter how big,
is just one of 22 core abilities that are built into even
people of "regular" ability at birth.
True, some people have a greater innate skill at this,
just like some people are naturally bigger and stronger
than others or have higher IQs than others, for the most
part it's a learned skill.
While you can't "learn" to be 6'8" tall, you can learn how
to use your brain to shrink down problems and give them
different meanings.
Think about how valuable that skill would be if you were
to develop it fully.
That's what Think Right Now International
- http://www.thinkrightnow.com
teaches through our Accelerated Success Conditioning
Programs.
Do your problems seem too huge to deal with?
Can't see how you'll ever get through your current
situation... and the next one surely to come along, and the
next?
It's just a simple mental skill. A simple one that pays
huge dividends.
Gain this ability and you'll see how ridiculously simple
some of your "unsolvable" problems are to solve... and
you'll solve them almost as if by magic.
Love,
Mike
