The Principles PodcastAuthor: :adrian
If you look deeply into something for long enough, with an enquiring mind and well thought out questions, you start to notice things. You notice patterns in the thing you are observing, be it behaviours, thoughts, or events; that create results, these may be good, bad, or indifferent. This is part one: pattern recognition.When you find results that are pleasing to you, you can work out many of the elements of the patterns. If you repeat the same pattern in the same way (with the same mindset and beliefs, i.e. the ingredients), you should be able to consistently achieve similar results.

We learn most things by first observing them, and then copying or mimicking them. This is part two: pattern implementation.Once youve gained some level of competency then you can start to mix it up a little, or a lot.

To get the results you want you can try, try, and try again until you get it (this is admirable but it can be exhausting, frustrating, and exhilarating all at the same time) OR you can use a much faster approach, one that can compress time.Simply study the best men and women in the subject that you want to become competent/a master in. Immerse yourself in the subject, and get into their mindset deeply. Try to tease out the core organising principles that guide them and their behaviours. Discover the strategies that they developed as they created their own patterns to achieve success. Learn their patterns, copy them precisely, and you cant help but ge Language: en-gb Genres: Alternative Health, Education, Health & Fitness Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |
