The Agile Agonist, Daniel Doiron sent me the amazing video below.
It’s unbelievable!
First, because well – just watch it!
Second, because the Reticular Activation System (RAS) is nothing short of miraculous. Over the holidays, I was preparing my New Year’s Resolutions and one of the things I wrote down was “get a visual representation of music” since I am not a musician and have no interest in learning how to read music…
When I wrote it, I had no idea in mind, I thought I would find something on TED Talks or YouTube…
Lo and behold, Daniel sends me the video… Exactly what I was looking for – or should I say my RAS was searching for.
If you don’t know what the RAS is – Google it! (Or click of the hyperlink above!)
Simply put – when you tap into the power of your RAS – you can create results that will amaze you, that will probably be impossible to explain logically.
How did my friend Daniel, 16,000 kilometers away (he lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and I am in Sydney, Australia) – without me mentioning anything remotely related to this – know to send this video to me now?
It’s magic.
It’s also at the CORE of what I teach my clients when I get them to embrace Boundless Opportunity Thinking and leverage it with Exponential Mindset Thinking to make things happen.
Most people want more from their life than they are currently getting.
The above metaphor of being in a hole is a great metaphor for NOT writing out New Year’s Resolutions and then not achieving “much”.
I have a program called My Best Year Ever that helps you to avoid digging the hole in the first place.
The proverbial hole is NOT having a goal or outcome in mind – especially as the NEW YEAR begins.
It’s the IDEAL TIME to climb OUT of the hole you’re in and create a BRAND NEW YOU…
I have to admit my bias – I have been “doing” New Year’s Resolutions for the past 20 years and my results speak for themselves.
We often get distracted when trying to focus on a task. The video below from the movie “For Love Of The Game” starring Kevin Costner is a brilliant Personal Productivity Technique to instantly achieve Concentration Of Focus.
Gary Vaynerchuck is one of those people who can get away with calling it like it is…
This is definitely an in-your-face conversation for all the ‘non-winner snowflakes’ out there!
When all is said and done, to create a NEW habit, you have to STOP old, bad ones.
The video below is the best strategy to STOP ALL YOUR OLD BAD HABITS.
This is only 15,000 dominoes, but it still is MESMERISING!
What is antimimeticisomorphic about this is that INSTEAD of trying to break a WORLD RECORD, she decided to make it INTERESTING. It only took her 25 hours to get a BETTER outcome that a world record (7+ million YouTube views). If that’s not a classic case of antimimeticisomorphism, I don’t know what is!
You just have to see these two jet pack flyers take on an Emirates A380 over the skies of Dubai… Amazing!
If you’ve never seen this amazing artist… Be amazed by what can be done with sand and a light table!
