Im going to post a 3-video playlist 3 times a week. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, youll get 3 videos that spread ideas that will advance your life! Todays playlist: Video #1 ------A Practical Guide To Being Open-Minded----- You know what sucks? Making a mistake without even realizing youve done so. Its when somebody else points it out that our hearts drop. Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, you may feel like there are inescapable events. Every body has blind-spots. Well, in this video, I share an easy trick that makes you much more effective. Its truly opens up your mind to see things in a new way. Its time to find those blind spots. I just finished up the frame for a web-app (beta coming soon!) that improves social intelligence. While studying personality psychology, I stumbled across the idea of Lead Functions. In the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, personalities are broken up into 16 types. Each personality type is a unique combination of attributes based on how we gather energy, what information we focus on, how we process that information, and how we organize our worlds. These types represent our conditioned ways of being. Weve learned them over time. Were naturally attracted to these mannerisms. Our parents even passed on these traits. Its a combination of nature and nurture. Heres the thing.... That personality isnt set in stone. Our minds have an amazing ability to change and adapt. Each personality has whats called a Lead Function. These functions are based on what information we focus on and how we process this information. THE MAIN FUNCTIONS ARE: -Thinking--- the ability to process information objectively by weighing the pros and cons -Feeling----- the ability to process information using your values, emotions, and your sense of whats wrong and right -Sensing---- the ability to look at specifics. Sensors often use this information for the present. -Intuition---- the ability to look at the whole picture. Intuitives often use this information for the future. The personality types usually split up the functions into groups of information and processing. Here are the combinations. Intuitive Thinking Intuitive Feeling Sensing Thinking Sensing Feeling These combinations are part of the personality type. Theyre primary functions. The strengths are immediately followed by the least functions. If the person is left unaware of their weakness, theyll continually walk through their problems the same way.... Even if that path causes agony. These least functions seem to be the problem children for some people. Each type combination has its benefits; but when you strengthen your least functions, youll open your mind to whats possible. Youll start seeing life from multiple views automatically. You arent doing anything wrong. Its just... Perspective can take you a long way in life. Youll naturally be more perceptive and naturally make less mistakes. Learning to open your mind will give you an edge that can make you feel almost super human! This video will give you a hand to transcend any problem. Youll sit at a higher perch and make mistakes a rare occurrence. Roy Schriek I know were going to have our discussion on this topic on the 23rd. You may find this one interesting, though! Ritch Flynn This may be right up your alley when it comes to tools on facing challenges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video #2 -----Movies That Make You Smarter: The Secret---- The Secret is the map to getting what you want. Its all about using your thought to pull yourself towards what you want. Heres the secret broken down into SIMPLE STEPS: 1- Know what you want. Be very specific with this. Most brains hate mystery vagueness. Reality is very specific... always. Life is in HD! Get rid of your 32-bit way of seeing! When you get an idea of what you want, describe it to yourself very specifically. So, rather than saying I want to be rich. Say I want to make a million dollars in the next 2 years. 2- Visualize it. Involve yourself in how it feels to be what you want. Paint the picture. See the gloss of the hard-wood floor of your mansion. See what its like looking out the second floor window at the beautiful mountainous view outside. Feel the pressure from the wad of cash sitting in your pocket. The idea is to completely immerse yourself in this reality. 3- Release it into the universe Have faith that it will be provided. Ask and you shall receive. 4- Remain positive. Happiness and Optimism have been scientifically proven to boost success. brainpickings.org/2012/12/12/science-of-optimism-sharot/ A great way to boost your happiness and joy is to be grateful. As often as you can, say I am so happy that... and finish the statement! 5- Revisit what you want. Where the mind goes, the body follows. The movie referenced a study done on elite level athletes. Researchers hooked them up to eeg and bodyscans and had the athletes visualize their event. They found that the muscles used in their events were activated during their simulation. So the more you involve yourself with your desire. The stronger it gets. Which means the stronger youll be pulled to it! Revisiting what you want will keep it all fresh in your mind and motivation! 6- Follow the path. The journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step. You only need to know the next step. The universe has this strange way of presenting the next step to you. All you need to do is take it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video #3 ----Movies That Make You Smarter: 5 Keys To Mastery---- This movie very quickly became one of my new favorites. It featured two of my favorite guitarists ever. These modern masters talked about what it took for them to get to their level and move to ultimate success. Here are the 5 Keys: 1-Surrender to your passion. Find what you love and do it. Involve yourself in the ups and the downs. Its in what you love that you will find the ultimate fulfillment. 2- Practice, Practice, Practice Its practice that makes the master. You must commit the time to you activity to reach the level you want. The secret to make all practice count... Love the plateau. The plateau is the where you will be when you perform the same task constantly. Most people burn out in the repetition... Not the master. They love the ups and the downs. Its all part of the process. 3- Find a mentor. This is one of the most well-known keys. To get better faster, you must find someone better than you. They will teach you. They will show you the path. They will give you the practical insight. 4- Visualize the process. This prepares you for your mastery. There is no wanting, there just is. 5- Play the edge. The edge of your comfort zone is where all the magic happens. Push yourself. Confront your fears. Face the challenges. The best summary of this is to play to win... dont play to not lose. ======================================================= Thanks for watching the videos! I hope you internalize these lessons. Feedback is always welcome!
