Escape Velocity #3

Now, on to this week's quote. It's a good one!

"What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This quote is very important to the Think & Grow Balls! philosophy because it deals entirely with ACTION. It sounds pretty similar to the saying, "actions speak louder than words", which most of us have heard our entire lives. Well, it's true.

What we do with our lives is far more important and speaks volumes more that what we say to justify what we did, do, or will do in the future. See, human beings are very complex when it comes to what we do versus what we say. The complexity revolves around the concept of "the mind". The mind has two parts: the conscious and the subconscious. Each mind has two different functions with two very different drives, yet, they function seemlessly together to help us experience our lives.

All that we are and how we perceive the world is a direct result of our two "minds" working together. Sometimes, our minds do not work that well with each other as Carl Jung explained in much of his work on topics such as complexes, multiple-personality disorder, hearing "voices", and others. We don't need to be psychologists to understand this complexity in the involvement of bad habits, routines that are hard to break, post-traumatic stress disorder, and many "glitches" that our minds encounter during our lives.

What's good about this is that we can use our conscious minds to "reprogram" our subconscious mind to reduce and/or eliminate these glitches so we may begin to experience life in more positive and healthy ways. We can use our conscious minds to unlock the power of our subconscious to help us reduce fear, eliminate procrastination, increase courage, and motivate ourselves to do things with our lives that we never thought possible! All you have to do is learn how.

In my years of field research and work with my students, I have developed a method that the "average" person can use to unlock the power of their subconscious to work FOR them, instead of against them. It all starts with changing the way you think.

Once you change the way you think, you'll begin to "feel" better about life and your place in it. Once you begin to feel better, you'll begin to act differently. And, of course, this leads to results... and ultimately self-confidence. And, as you know, self-confidence is what it is all about!

However, all this change must begin somewhere and it begins when you find your own path to positive personal change.

I sincerely hope I can reduce your fear and encourage you to make the happiest life possible for yourself.

Onward & Upward,

J.D.
