Quotes on MIND

The next time you feel left out - your friends all go out to brunch together and they don’t invite you? Let them. The person you’re dating doesn’t want a commitment? Let them. Your company is laying people off? Let them.We spend so much time and energy trying to control other people and getting emotionally worked up about things that are beyond our control, when we can tap into peace and control if we let people be themselves.

And here’s the other thing:If you let them, people will then reveal who they truly are to you.And when people reveal who they truly are to you, you now know what you can choose next that’s right for you.So let them.

If you let them, people will then reveal who they truly are to you.

Mel Robbins: The “Let Them” Theory

“Awaken from this illusion and understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death (or shall I say death implies life?), you can feel yourself – not as a stranger in the world, not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke – but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental.”

Let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream and that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time or any length of time you wanted to have.As you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure during your sleep. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say:“Well, that was pretty great. But now let’s have a surprise. “

“Let’s suppose” game

“Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control, where something is gonna happen to me that I don’t know what it’s gonna be”.

You would get more and more adventurous and you would make further- and further out gambles to what you would dream. Finally, you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today. That would be within the infinite multiplicity of choices you would have.Of playing that you weren’t God.

More and more adventurous dreams

Everybody is fundamentally the ultimate reality Not God in a politically kingly sense, but god in the sense of being the self, the deep-down basic whatever there is. And you are all that, only you are pretending you are not.

Alan Watts had a pretty inspiring philosophy on life.

The Dream Of Life - Alan Watts (Speech) 

The act of contemplating the sky has a soothing effect on the mind, lifting our spirits and imbuing us with a sense of inner peace and positivity.

1. Calmness of Mind and Uplifted Spirits

As we gaze upon the vast expanse of the sky, we are reminded of the majestic splendor of the universe and the awe-inspiring power of its Creator, evident in every twinkling star and billowing cloud.

2. Remembrance of the Creator's Grandeur

Contemplating the sky fosters a deeper sense of humility and appreciation, inviting us to marvel at the interconnectedness of all creation and to cherish the beauty that surrounds us

3. Enhancement of Humility and Appreciation

In moments of quiet reflection beneath the vast canopy of the sky, we find solace and renewal, nurturing our spiritual growth and strengthening our faith in something greater than ourselves

4. Nurturing Spirituality and Faith

Gazing at the sky affords us precious moments of serenity and inner reflection, providing a sanctuary where we can pause, breathe, and reconnect with our deepest selves

5. Moments of Serenity and Inner Reflection

In contemplating the boundless expanse of the heavens, we are invited to reflect on the majesty of God and the intricate beauty of His creation, deepening our faith and reaffirming our connection to the divine.

6. Reflection on the Majesty of God and His Creation

looking at the sky is a reminder that we're part of something much bigger than ourselves, giving us a sense of awe and wonder.

Ultimately

"Contemplating the sky is like finding a moment of Quietness amidst life's whirlwind, where the universe whispers its secrets and the soul finds its home."

Ever paused to contemplate the sky on a quiet night? It's not just about the view; it can do wonders for your mind and spirit. In today's busy world, taking a moment to gaze at the sky can bring a sense of calm and connection with the world around us. Let's appreciate the sky's beauty:

Key Points

You cannot deal with today’s troubles by applying yesterday’s management methods. Weak solutions only inspire additional problems. Leaders must invest their energy in an advanced form of innovative, mindful leadership.Executives face huge challenges. Major disruption is rocking many industrial sectors. “Some estimates suggest there has been more technological advance in the last five years than in the previous 500.”

Innovative leaders should explore enlightened consciousness

Consider, as a starting point, a lesson from Buddhism. It teaches that every person lives in a separate spiritual reality made up of his or her unique experiences, an internal world of a deeper self with heightened awareness. “This is the moment when what we need most is enough people with the skill, heart and wisdom to help us pull ourselves back from the edge of breakdown and onto a different path.” (Otto Scharmer, senior MIT lecturer)

Fixing today’s problems requires cultivating higher awareness

Thanks to these qualities, great leaders inspire those around them. Because of who they are, how they carry themselves, how they think, how they act, what they do and how they energize others, they have the ability to transform fragmented organizations into “coherent wholes.” That in itself is an act of healing.“There is almost nothing as beautiful or powerful as a human being whose every cell is alive with streaming energy and intelligence, as seen in truly great performances in music, dance or theater.”

Leaders who practice elevated thinking, being and acting can become emotional and spiritual healers

“Leader-as-healer” is the advanced leadership construct that replaces the outdated leader-as-executor model which rose to prominence when getting bigger and quicker took center stage in the business world. Executors prioritized profits, compelled action and enforced discipline, but they didn’t lead. Such executives see commerce not as a platform for connection, healing and mutual success, but as a grim battlefield where attrition rules.

The “Leader as executor” role is outmoded

Today’s leaders and their employees must be receptive to new ideas and nurture and maintain an open spirit. For most businesspeople, that calls for some level of personal transformation that includes getting back in touch with their inner selves. This begins with self-care. Leaders should pay close attention to their emotional, spiritual and physical needs, including their health.“True leadership sometimes requires that one decisively excise moral and spiritual tumors from the bodies of organizations or nations.”

To achieve heightened consciousness, practice self-care

People without a strong sense of purpose end up navigating life like a ship in stormy waters without a compass or rudder.A leader who operates unemotionally, based only on rationality, might translate purpose as increased profits and productivity, and those are necessary business goals. But your life’s purpose should be internally worthwhile. Define your values and consider the contributions you can make that will help improve the world.“Emotions are the gateway to our deeper humanity, to a richer, more heartfelt and empathic relationship to life and to leadership.”

Lead a life of purpose – the right purpose

Leaders should abandon archaic thinking that has failed in the past, dropping tactics that focus on doing, not being, and evolving beyond hyperrationality. This degraded leadership approach does not lead to greater effectiveness, healthier organizations or healthier people.“All too frequently…leaders…operate out of overt or covert self-interest, prioritizing and protecting their own positions.”

Today’s world needs leaders to be healers

Spirituality, mental healing, mindfulness and wise leadership, including how to meditate, listen deeply, and make sense of “BANI” (“brittle, anxious, non-linear and incomprehensible”) situations in business and life.

Business Book of the Year Award 2023, UK Business Books Award Leaders of today must possess potent powers for logic, reason, discernment and strategic forecasting. Yet, they must also be empathic and therefore embodied; grounded and therefore intuitive; present and therefore awake. They must be skilled in mindfulness and deep listening, able to inspire authentic engagement and collaboration, and possess a clear and wholehearted sense of service, mission and purpose - restoring coherence where there is fragmentation and unity where there is division. Nicholas Janni presents this new and necessary leadership style as the Leader as Healer. The book outlines both a theoretical and practical map towards a new form of leadership, one that embodies the 'skill, heart, and wisdom' that the current moment demands. The pathway Janni describes is one of integration and restoration, which is designed to reawaken the innate human capacities - physical and emotional, individual and transpersonal - that were previously discarded and forgotten during our perilous journey towards profit-maximization and "infinite" economic growth. It offers a way to grow ourselves as leaders and to heal our organizations.

Leader as Healer

First, there is the cue. The cue triggers your brain to initiate a behavior.Cravings are the second step, and they are the motivational force behind every habit.The third step is the response. The response is the actual habit you perform, which can take the form of a thought or an action.The craving is about wanting the reward. The response is about obtaining the reward. We chase rewards because they serve two purposes: (1) they satisfy us and (2) they teach us.

The Four Stages Of Habit Build

HOW TO CREATE A GOOD HABITThe 1st Law: Make It Obvious1.1: Fill out the Habits Scorecard. Write down your current habits to become aware of them.1.2: Use implementation intentions: “I will [BEHAVIOR] at [TIME] in [LOCATION].”1.3: Use habit stacking: “After [CURRENT HABIT], I will [NEW HABIT].”1.4: Design your environment. Make the cues of good habits obvious and visible.The 2nd Law: Make It AttractiveThe 3rd Law: Make It EasyThe 4th Law: Make It Satisfying

Ronan Byrne, an electrical engineering student in Dublin, Ireland, enjoyed watching Netflix, but he also knew that he should exercise more often than he did. Putting his engineering skills to use, Byrne hacked his stationary bike and connected it to his laptop and television. Then he wrote a computer program that would allow Netflix to run only if he was cycling at a certain speed. If he slowed down for too long, whatever show he was watching would pause until he started pedaling again. He was, in the words of one fan, “eliminating obesity one Netflix binge at a time.”

Temptation Bundelling 😍

2.1: Use temptation bundling. Pair an action you want to do with an action you need to do.2.2: Join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior.2.3: Create a motivation ritual. Do something you enjoy immediately before a difficult habit.The 3rd Law: Make It EasyThe 4th Law: Make It Satisfying

3.1: Reduce friction. Decrease the number of steps between you and your good habits.3.2: Prime the environment. Prepare your environment to make future actions easier.3.3: Master the decisive moment. Optimize the small choices that deliver outsized impact.3.4: Use the Two-Minute Rule. Downscale your habits until they can be done in two minutes or less.3.5: Automate your habits. Invest in technology and onetime purchases that lock in future behavior.The 4th Law: Make It Satisfying

Voltaire once wrote, “The best is the enemy of the good.”If you want to master a habit, the key is to start with repetition, not perfection.I refer to this as the difference between being in motion and taking action. The two ideas sound similar, but they’re not the same. When you’re in motion, you’re planning and strategizing and learning. Those are all good things, but they don’t produce a result.

Some Important Ideas And Examples (3rd Law)

Action, on the other hand, is the type of behavior that will deliver an outcome. If I outline twenty ideas for articles I want to write, that’s motion. If I actually sit down and write an article, that’s action. If I search for a better diet plan and read a few books on the topic, that’s motion. If I actually eat a healthy meal, that’s action.

Some Important Ideas 2

"What is immediately rewarded is repeated. What is immediately punished is avoided."

4.1: Use reinforcement. Give yourself an immediate reward when you complete your habit.4.2: Make “doing nothing” enjoyable. When avoiding a bad habit, design a way to see the benefits.4.3: Use a habit tracker. Keep track of your habit streak and “don’t break the chain.”4.4: Never miss twice. When you forget to do a habit, make sure you get back on track immediately.Inversion of the 1st Law: Make It Invisible1.5: Reduce exposure. Remove the cues of your bad habits from your environment.

Atomic Habits

There is a direct link between motion and creative insight.Bring your notebook and make your walk explicitly to take notes. Be like an explorer in an undiscovered jungle, taking notes as you walk.Whatever comes to mind, note it down.You’ll often find that the more you note, the more ideas are pushed up.

Go for a journal walk.

Yeah, you know what that is for you. There’s that one thing you keep holding off because it’s icky, uncomfortable or reminds you of pain.Use this as an opportunity. Get the thing done, or at least one thing toward getting it done.You’ll feel better, and you will be creatively boosted.

Do one hard thing.

Even if every fibre in your body says, ‘Not today, bro,’ throw on some dirty reggaeton and whip your hips.You can’t help but feel better after a dance-off with the mirror.

Have a cheeky dance.

Great! You finally have permission to write down all your strange or left-field thoughts and ideas in a dedicated booklet.This is significant because, often, without knowing it, we train ourselves to play it safe. We avoid risks and are drawn to conform. This is a death sentence for creative insight. Push yourself to write down far-out, ‘over-the-top’ or straight bizarre ideas more often.This is you playing at your edges. This is training you to think outside the box.It is also energizing and fun.

Start a ‘weird ideas’ journal.

Draw a mind map to explore ideas for your next book or creative project.Whiteboards, spider diagrams, and placing sticky notes on the wall are other examples.Creativity flourishes when seeing something visually in one place and moving segments around.New connections are made that we might have otherwise missed.

Use non-linear tools.

They say the shower is one of the best places to get ideas.Being immersed in the white noise and refreshing heat or cold water power makes a difference.

Go swimming.

What? Who said Lego or Hungry Hippos had to end at age ten?My Austrian grandma had this box of toys I used to open whenever I visited her in Vienna. It contained little wood cars, puzzles and tiddlywinks and other treasures. I’d open it even into my thirties and wish I could open it today.The toys instantly transported me to a world of play and connection-building.

Play with children’s toys.

I’m serious! How often do you walk backwards?Not only is it good for exercising certain muscle groups, but walking backwards breaks patterns.When we break the usual patterns, our brains are forced to adapt. When the brain has to think in new ways, we are forced to be creative and see the world from a new perspective.

Walk backwards.

When doodling, our minds are still, and we obsess less on cyclical thoughts that worry us.We activate the part of our brain that we use to be creative. It’s not just for phone calls.We can draw for fun, without a sense of needing to be ‘good,’ which may reveal new insights that surprise you.

Doodle.

Explore how engaging the senses through activities like listening to music, walking in a forest, ambient white noise, aromatherapy, flotation tanks, or tactile experiences like playing with play dough can enhance creativity by stimulating different parts of the brain.Some of my best writing is done listening to aeroplane cabin noise on a loop.Onward.

Experiment with sensory stimulation.

People say consistency is the key to creativity.But sometimes, doing the same things repeatedly can leave us feeling like beached whales on sand.We need something fresh.

#3 How to reach your GOALS before you DIE

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

Don't wait for opportunity, create it.

Either run the day, or the day runs you.

When you feel like quitting, remember why you started.

Great things never come from comfort zones.

The real risk is doing nothing.

Success is walking from failure to failure.

Action is the foundational key to success.

In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take.

Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency.

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.

80% of success is showing up.
