Week 27………..Importance, is as Urgent and Non-Urgent as we make it!

“Importance, on the other hand, has to do with results.  If something is important, it contributes to your mission, your values, your high priority goals”.  Ahhhhhh yes, I randomly pointed out this topic for week 27.  Eyes closed……aim………point……. blog………and credit to our Most Illustrious Stephen R. Covey.  As I properly prepare to prevent poor performance, the idea of prioritization is dominate and I accept.  I don’t quite know which hand we started with, but I will say the left because we are never right.  I want results, you want results, they want results; but who is willing to do the work to make sure that Crisis, Pressing Problems, and Deadline-driven projects are not all we focus on.  Yes, the feeling may be of importance, prestige may be derived by load distribution (delegation or maybe not), and even a dopamine release from activity and involvement.  The point is to not spend 90% of your time on pressing issues, and you get what’s remaining……..10% to build relationships, recognize new opportunities, planning, recreation, and prevention.   Some of our greats are victim to not having enough time for what is important to their happiness.  I’m wondering……what is the replacement for happiness?  It cannot be Urgent work that must be accomplished anyway, it has to be the feeling of avoiding the 10% which turns into some twisted power.  These are just assumptions therefore credit goes to the proper interpreter.  Cynics may scoff, that a reactionary lifestyle will correlate to the important activities being addressed first, and those activities that  need more initiative and proactivity, need more intention and attention to perform.  Ok I will reel it all in!  As we approach the Commencement of our Journey, we must prioritize our needs and wants list, keep focus on our DMP’s, keep up with a Mastermind, and realize that we are not alone.  We are being release into a world that lack these skills, and it will be quite easy to become responsive to Crisis, Pressing Problems, and Deadline-driven projects.  That is to simply avoid the other tasks of relationship building, recognizing new opportunities, planning, recreation, and prevention.  The road is new, and the Commencement is the real start of our Journey.  Congratulations!  You have just experienced another great lesson from www.brilliance365.com.  Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest!

Week 26……….. This Love is a Unconditional!

“When we truly love others without condition, without strings, we help them feel secure and safe and validated and affirmed in their essential worth, identity, and integrity”.  Here we find ourselves in random topic selection again, as we embrace the works of the Great Stephen R. Covey.  This is such a subject of depth and strength, that I feel compelled to just select an angle, and proceed.  Now let’s get this straight, this article is not just about “Love”, but the condition of giving “Love” without borders.  HAHAHAHAHA……. I said love without borders.  As I interpret the opening line, the importance of “without strings” means without reciprocity.  You know, I love you, if you love me.  This cannot be a conditional effect if the value add is safety, security, along with affirmed worth, identity, and integrity.  Incredible………this unconditional love has healing properties!  The integrity of another person can be validated, based upon the emotional transfer that one can give to another human being.   The question then arises, what is love without condition?  Does this mean that I can just be trampled over, in order to shape the inner, you?  No this means that if received properly, then the validation process can manifest. Honesty is inherit in all people we just learn to not use it, similar to understanding our own worth, and identity.  What Mr. Covey says is that “we give them the freedom to act on their own inner imperatives”. This love bug is dangerous, the dopamine release, and transfer is well above Valentine’s Day folks.  I will take action, and Love One Another, As I Have Been Loved!  You have just had another great lesson from www.brilliance365.com.  Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest!

Week 25…………Am I naturally acting out of Fear?

“Man’s thought impulses begin immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent, whether those thoughts are voluntary or involuntary”.  Well…..Well…..Well…..it’s interesting the direction of inspiration when you release control, and allow your connection to the ‘All’ to manifest, and have its way.  I would like to acknowledge the great Napoleon Hill for this inspiration, and guidance for the basis of this week’s blog.  I must admit that I am being led to these lessons by such a random process, that it is a miracle for me to see them unfold.  I mean, I have no intention for the weeks lesson, and it is done with my eyes closed.   I am literally being led to these blog lessons…..Wow! I would like to place particular focus on the 6 Basic Fears for this week’s lesson.   They are the Fear of: Poverty, Criticism, Ill Health, Loss of Love of Someone, Old Age, and Death.  How does a fear of such negative topics make it in one’s life?  Its complexed and simple to wrap your head around.  First, it starts with the thought of these issues having some sort of impact in a person’s life, then it tangibly appears.  Do you ever notice how the things that you are good at in life are lack of the 6 Basic Fears?  Take for instance, your favorite meal to prepare for others that you find in high demand.  Usually, it never if rarely, turns out bad.  Baking good cookies, or making a cake has a process that can be done with no fear and ends up in the satisfaction column.  As we consume negative information from the externalities on this plane, we find ourselves in fear of what we think we lack or that in which was marketed to us.  Now, lets assume that some of the 6 Basic fears are inevitable to avoid.  Yes, we are all going to die or move on to the afterlife at some point, but this does not mean that we must fear the transition.  In many cases something can be done about Ill health. Poverty is just a present condition, but not permanent.  We all enjoy our birthdays, but dislike age, how hypocritical.  Who makes up this fear of old age stuff anyway? We have to ensure that we maintenance our relationships, so that there is no fear of loss of love of someone.  Get onboard with your good attributes and start there.  Now that is something that you can do something about.  Finally, criticism, who freaking cares……..do you honestly think that I care what you think about me, when I know that I work to the best interest of all? No way, buddy, sell that ticket elsewhere!  You should feel this way about that fear as well!  You and I can take the lead on this one.   Some of the Fears are rooted from sources of others (such as childhood influencers), and now forms of mental consumption e.g., friends, family, new media, social media, and let’s say it……. Big Companies That Want You To Consume A Certain Way.   Hey, don’t take out the messenger.  Folks the point is that we must become encouraging to each other, and surround ourselves by those that support our path, and not their agenda.  Oh my gosh, sounds like I am becoming more of a Self-Directed thinker, and since your decided to read this blog, you are as well.  Thank you, and you have just experienced another fantastic lesson from www.brilliance365.com.  Where WE Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest.  Hurray!

Week 24…………..I was on a Mission, and became the Mission!

“Writing or reviewing a mission statement changes you because it forces you to think through your priorities deeply, carefully, and to align your behavior with your beliefs”.  Sound clear enough?  We have taken one long journey folks, and now we must polish the new us.  Your elevator pitch, staircase profile, and 30 second resume is what others get to hear.  Thank you, Mr. Stephen R. Covey, as your thoughts are a rule and guide, for us real time.  Gosh I must be brain washed in this stuff!  If I’m dreaming don’t wake me up…..please.   Thinking through priorities deeply, carefully, and then aligning your behavior with your belief, is as authentic as it gets.  I mean……the mission statement supports the walking Billboard of success that we have become.  The Heroes Journey is with purpose and influence in its latter stages.  If I get this correctly, being able to see clearly as a person that has changed, not only makes me unique, but in fact the world has changed around me as well.   How desirous! Frankl stated in similar words….”your task is as unique as your opportunity to implement it”.  WHAT????????? Say that again!  Chance upon chance, I get to perform in this timeline of life.   Why wouldn’t I do this?  Why wouldn’t I have a mission statement?  I must be proactive in this exercise, to ensure confidence, commitment, and determination to prevent setbacks.  I mention this because the world is now an obstacle to the newly trained mind, or as the Master Teacher would say, “refreshed or reminded mind”, because this is not new information. I have a declaration my friends…….I am the programmer!  You again, have just experienced another great lesson from www.brilliance365.com.  Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest.

Week 23………….I Heard What You Said, But I Wasn’t Listening…….

“You’ve spent years learning how to read and write, years learning how to speak.  But what about listening? What training or education have you had that enables you to listen so that you really, deeply understand another human being from that individuals own frame of reference?” Interesting here that we are asked if we are on board with another person’s structure of concepts, values, customs, and views (this is what frame of reference means). The more that we explore, the more connected to each other we become.  Mr. Stephen R. Covey has set the stage for us to immerse in Communication.  Perhaps a back-and-forth dialogue is enough for some.  I mean, there is no requirement to really understand another person; but there is a consequence, although we may not acknowledge it.   Does it hurt to listen? Of course not, but it does take a few seconds to formulate a response when someone is talking, which leads to interruptions, and lack of attention.  I guess the undertone here, is that it does hurt to listen.  Kind of being the offensive threat in the dialogue experience.  The question is….. what does it take to become a great communicator?  Well in my opinion it involves respect for the other human being.  This sounds great; but let’s ask why again.  If we are an extension of the Infinite, then the thoughts that are channeled and communicated to us by our peers here on this plane, are perhaps inspired words or messages from the Creator, and we fail to understand or hear the voice.  Kind of like being trapped in the thought of a thought, due to traditional adaptation of how we are taught to live.  The senses are unreal if you really wrap your head around the given set of tools.  Unreal meaning phenomenal! This topic brings about a new understanding of faith.  In our intro you will find that Reading and Writing are tools that we learned for years but are offensive tools.  Listening is a neutral or defensive tool, so I will leave you with food for thought.  How good are you at Defense? You have just had another great experience with www.brilliance365.com.  “Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest”. 

Week 22…………In order to grow, you must respect time!

Weekly organizing and daily planning becomes more a function of a daily adopting, of prioritizing activities and responding to unanticipated events, relationships, and experiences in a meaningful way.  Oh boy, I’m in now what?  I laugh because I randomly had this conversation with someone recently, way before the idea of this lesson.  See….. that’s an example of infinite thought for those that choose to say: “It Ain’t So”.   Before we proceed, let us take a moment to recognize the great Stephen R. Covey, for his inspiration, and dedication to making the world a better place, and for authoring the subject that we presently explore.  So how do we humans, that explore Mars…….. get a grasp or grip on the present environment.  With so much activity, obligations, and commitments…. how do we choose exactly what to consume or experience?  “The Plan” is to get back on the grid of structure.  It’s one perception to be told what to do, and when to do it, in exchange for resources.  Similarly, becoming self-motivated and committing to perform on the same schedule or level without demand from an employer, or institution has great benefits. I must agree that it’s completely rewarding to be a self-starter and live consistently on the Hero’s Journey.  This is the path of the leader, self-directed thinker, collaborator, and friend to the subconscious.  If we focus on coach Wooden for a moment, the lessons teach us: Competitive Greatness (enjoying a difficult challenge, and being at your best), Industriousness (realizing that there is no substitute for work, and that meaningful results come from hard work and careful planning), lastly Enthusiasm (you become contagious and start to rub off on other people that you make contact with). My friends I am thankful and grateful for the opportunity to share. You have just had another great experience from http://www.brilliance365.com, “Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest”.

Week 21………….Time to self navigate the Terrain!

But you can’t just do it; you simply have to travel the road.  You can’t be successful with other people if you haven’t paid the price of success for yourself.  Oh, the struggle……or training process, how painful it can appear or be, if the confidence is absent.  Strange weaknesses appear, as antidotes to the need for obstacle savviness show presence.  Sounds flowery huh…..well it is, all because in this scenario, descriptive communication is a weapon.  It’s like what Robert Frost said, “The road less taken”, and in this great literature, the inspiration of Stephen R. Covey “Paradigms of Interdependence”.   Lol…how free are you?  Can you win internally, if so then Subby should definitely be leading you to victories without direct attention.  You may ask…..what’s Subby? Well, its your best friend that guides you without direct thought (supernatural).  Let’s get back on track and consider how one may want to be successful with other people.  I think that this lesson has strong importance, simply because as we become more seasoned the demand for authentic purpose is needed. We need more Self-guided individuals that care about the society.  In order to become this kind of tribe member, then one must earn their own stripes.  I suppose that this is what Mr. Covey meant by, “But you can’t just do it”.  Experience is the gateway to mastery, so why not give it a try?  Come on, spread your wings and indulge in what Subby is saying to you.  There is strength in friendship and acquaintance, I don’t want to be left behind on this one, and you shouldn’t either. Go for it?  Pay the price of success for yourself!!  Yes, you have just experienced another great lesson from www.brilliance365.com.  “Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest”

Week 20…………Ready Set Go!!!!!!

Returning once more to the computer metaphor, if Habit 1 says “You’re the programmer” and Habit 2 says “Write the program,” then Habit 3 says “Run the program,” “Live the program.” And living it is primarily a function of our independent will, our self-discipline, our integrity, and commitment—not to short-term goals and schedules or to the impulse of the moment, but to the correct principles and our own deepest values, which give meaning and context to our goals, our schedules, and our lives.  Again, our lesson for today is referenced from the great Stephen R. Covey. Oh yeah, I like this one……..APPLICATION!  The first step is finding out that you are the one, the second step is finding out your purpose (having a written plan of action), and then mix and repeat.  It’s amazing that once you are in, well it’s harder to stay in, opposed to getting admitted or throwing in the towel.  Do you have the correct principles? What are your deepest values? Does your life have meaning?  Well in the opinion of this #Brilliance365 member, step 3 correlates to having in possession all these attributes.  If you are living the purpose intellectuals may say: “your reflection is what you give off to the universe”. If you did the steps then, you will be easy to duplicate, and your observance of those that have not taken the steps will lead you to where you may be of assistance.  The journey is not easy as in the ” Living Phase” challenges will surface as observers will attempt to transfer energies that potentially disagree with your present path.  When in the heat of an impulsive decision, stop….. for just a brief moment and remember that 1) You are the one, 2) You have a plan to rely on for guidance, and 3) You are a walking Billboard of your intentions.  Do it, and perform with pride, detail, and energy, as those that challenge your position are merely questioning themselves without knowing that 1) They are the one, 2) They need a written program, and 3) They need to live the program.  Go your way my friend…..go your way!

Week 19……….Your Daily Footprint Has Returns!

Proactive Focus (Increases the circle of influence through positive energy).  Reactive Focus (Reduces the circle of influence through negative energy).  Come on man……..whatcha vibrating over there?  I’m like the character Nell Carter on this one (Gimmie a Break).  Yes I was around for this sitcom…..lol.  I age gracefully!  Back to focus, and I must remember to thank the great Stephen R. Covey for this particular lesson.  Maintaining the inner circle involves the extra work that most people find tedious or a waste of their time.  Yes, work must be done to maintain your circles because let’s face it, as you age, your circles decrease.  Its diminishing returns to your networking capability.  That’s a little economics for those of you interested.  The real definition of Diminishing returns is doing one more good or bad action which still results in a bad or negative return.  Ok, I will explain the model. For people who want to maintain their inner circles they will focus on features of the relationship that they can do something about (positivity).  Strangely enough, this sounds easier than attempting to discover negativity.  I know…..I know, those of you who think that you are in a competitive position have to separate yourselves with scarcity instead of abundance.  That has been a torture to our society since the beginning of right and wrong (cement), for those that have eyes to see and ears to hear, you are welcome.  Focusing on positivity is more of a maintenance or proactive approach to increasing your circle and having flourishing relationships.  The way to lose people is to just be your normal 2020 self…..lol. Ok I’m kidding! The negative energy (Reactive Focus) deserves a joke or 2 ya know.   Ok don’t be so reactionary, or one of those people looking for weaknesses or something to be concerned about, because you will find it.  We are simply human beings surviving this plane, so if you want problems they are everywhere to enjoy.  The issue is that you can’t gather the people that are healthy for your life with this approach. Words like victim, accusing attitude, and negative language appear around this easy way out.  Here is the most important part of this lesson on Reactive Focus, if there was something that you could have done about a problem, and you didn’t do it, your observation from others is much worse, because people inherently enjoy positivity.   I just wanted to talk about Circles of Influence in this article, which leads back to the greatest lesson of them all……. The Hero’s Journey.  Challenges and Temptations my friend………..Challenges and Temptations.  You have just experienced another great lesson from www.brilliance365.com.  “Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than the Rest”.

Week 18……….All the Legends said “YES”

I woke up one day, and had no one to depend on, but the world still held its population levels.  I assumed that I had escaped this episode by waking up only to find out, that the dream was my escape.  I realized that I possessed only one way of knowing if this was real, but all the tears had dried up, hence no streams running down the face, or tears jumping the line by becoming airborne. What was I on…….The Hero’s Journey?   I can’t help but feel the essence of the Keys, as now is the time…not yesterday……and I don’t know if tomorrow will have me, so I must do it now! What is that thing that I’m doing?  It is looking myself in the eye and saying that I will be what I promised myself.  There is no circumstance that I will allow to distract me.   Nor will I speak of treading deep waters when I stand in  light rainfall.  Integrity to the purpose is what must remain.  Shallow as I have been, I am no longer acquainted with the one who would not guard the gates of consciousness.  I introduced and will continue to show Subby the direction that we must go.  Kind, Love, Joy, Determined, Giving, and Honest are my attributes, and I reinforce them daily.  My friends, this is a brief example of the mindset that must be obtained to change the direction.  There is no going back, and as I take on the Hero’s Journey, I feel the peace, tranquility, and assurance that this path is the one that will bring physical to the imagination.  You won’t dare let me travel, alone will you?  The Mastermind is where it is my friends….The Mastermind.  Thinking beyond the normal will lead you to ask……..Why is it that you say the worlds population levels remained the same in the first line, but you visualize a dry desert landscape in your blog image? Yes, you have experienced another great moment with www.Brilliance365.com.  “Where We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest”. 

Week 17………poised to give and receive with these instructions….

“If you concentrate on some matter of importance, the intuitive power will be set in operation, and help will come in the nature of information which will lead to success”.  I perceive that this excerpt has fell upon my eyes to bring modern witness to my sisters and brethren.  As I receive and accept the transmuted powers of the creator, dramatic change is taking place.  See my friends, as you focus on what really matters to our purpose / existence, we sink with our origin.  What is that origin? I will provide an example: Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted, from state to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration. This concept is a major source of inference to whether there is a higher source that we are connected to.  There is a reason for our ability to see, interpret, and formulate ideas that make sense on this plane level of living. The combination of the above in fact could be labeled thought, but thought my friends has a beginning and destination if I will.  In the first line of this lesson, we find, ‘concentrate on some matter of importance’.  This is the creator concentrating on transmutation from the higher level to the lower level.  We must embrace this unknow feature that we are equipped with, to reciprocate, by fulfilling our purpose with the important things that we concentrate on.  For example, If I want a significant other, my focus will be on the lady of my dreams, therefore I may find myself in unusual environments, conducting activities that lure the attraction of others, and naturally preparing for my new life. The intuitive power will be set in operation, and help will arrive.  This information can be built upon, hence offering reason to our position with the creator.  If you want greatness you can have greatness, but you must do the work. The difference is when you set sail. This lesson involves participation with the creator.  Do you think that you have it?  This is another great lesson from www.brilliance365.com   Where “We strive to make each day smarter than the rest”!

Week 15……..Are you Joking with me….I have to respond well?

“All conditions and experiences that come to us do so for our benefit. Difficulties and obstacles will continue to come until we absorb their wisdom and gather from them the essentials of further growth”.  I used to absolutely despise this concept……. you have to go through the bad before the good…….life is about the journey……..it was meant to be that way………no it wasn’t!  This problem was intentional and designed to set me back.  Oh, how naïve I was to think that the surrounding environment was not part of the infinite thought.  I was playing the blame game, instead of treating the obstacles as plays in athletics for instance.  Here is an example: hypothetically I’m playing the sport of basketball, yes basketball it’s my favorite sport, if you want to mention your sport, then you tell the story.  Ok, the referee calls many fouls on me in the first half of the game, the coach pulls me out of the game for the remainder of the half, to preserve my playing time versus fouls obtained.  I have the choice of a major attitude with the referee or not.  I have the choice to be upset with the coach for taking me out of the game or not.  I have the choice to be upset with myself or not.  I do have the option of growth, and to take advantage of the observation time given to me of the other team, a chance to cheer for my teammates, or get rest for the second half of the game.  If I absorb this difficulty, I can naturally calculate the circumstance and have a positive outcome.  I think that the most interesting part of the lesson is the introduction of “Irony”.  It is difficult for us to wrap our heads around the unwanted scenarios that enter our conscious and makes its way to our subconscious.  You know it’s natural to have fight or flight, or responses, “which is usually defensive”.    As we grow to learn our original selves again the obstacles may become more apparent to us or easier to navigate.  Don’t worry take it as it comes, and remember that you are part of the condition, so represent the best you.  The Creator is watching so, there is your incentive.  Yes, you have experienced another lesson from www.brilliance365.com.  Where “We Strive To Make Each Day Smarter Than The Rest”.  Peace!
