The Realization
September 8, 2010 by admin
I had a great experience this week. It was almost exactly one year ago that I met this impressive young man in a Strategic Life Planning workshop. He was about to leave for college having just graduated from high school. There were about 16 people in the session all anxious to bring some understanding to where they wanted to go and do in their lives. Planning sessions are always such a great experience as participants start to discover their purpose and direction for the life.
This young man was exception at his understanding of “what” it is all about – our life and living. Everyone in the session was impressed with his insight and that it got the concept of choosing his life while others had struggled for years.
As we completed the day, I asked if he would stay in touch and let me know how his plan worked and his journey of life as it continues to unfold.
The phone rang and on the line was this young man. He wanted to share his past year’s journey and first year of college. As he shared his successes of his plan, I could hear the confidence in his voice of taking control of his destiny. I knew he was on his path and would not return to accepting a life of default. He finished his call promising to stay in touch and continuing to update his life plan as the goals and dreams almost effortlessly were completed.
As I hung up, I realized as I have realized hundreds of times with stories such as this one, I am so happy that I discovered my purpose in life and live it each day through planning my life and living my plan. I will never wonder what I was supposed to be doing while on this earth.
Your mindset can become more balanced.

Underdeveloped mindsets can be improved with intentional efforts and exercises. Self-actualization takes on new meaning when we consider it to mean whole brain. For someone to balance their mindset, and strengthen the skills in all of the functional areas of their brain, a deliberate effort must be made. Skills in each of the areas can be developed, but only through conscious exercising of those skills.
How the mindset develops.

We are the result of our nature and nurture throughout our lives. People typically stay within their comfort zones and exercise their strength. At the same time, they fail to understand and develop competencies in areas that are not their natural tendencies or strengths. This causes us to approach business and life with only 25% of the whole picture and skills necessary to achieve success. We are out of balance from the beginning and continue down that path until we know better.

Mindset strengths are equally distributed within the world population. However, only a small percentage of individuals are perfectly balanced. Mindset dominance, or strength, leads to preferences, which in turn often lead to interests and interests lead to acquisition of competencies.
Why evaluate your mindset?

Looking at your own mindset will give you an awareness of what might be holding you back from reaching your full potential and achieving your goals. By seeing what your tendencies are in terms of focus and strengths, you can then determine what areas you should address to ensure that your mindset is more balanced.
