Self-Help

Before we had the knowledge of germs, the medical community spread disease better than the diseases were spread on their own.   If you could imagine an infected person that went to the doctor and contaminated the doctor and his entire office, then the next fifty people that they treated were directly exposed to the disease.  Those fifty people would infect hundreds more.  This is all because no one understood the effect of germs on the spread of disease.

Our ignorance of human behavior is having the same type of negative effect in every area of our lives, including but not limited to our health, wealth, relationships, profession, government, education, religion
and especially in our businesses.

This is a strong indictment of our ignorance and in the forthcoming posts; I will prove to you that it’s true.
You will be able to validate the facts that I will present and use them to change your thinking about business and drop the opinion that people are just people and that they can’t or won’t change.

I will use this this blog to build a factual, logical and sequential body of proof that will become self-evident. 
I will not sugar coat or avoid talking candidly about sensitive topics.  Neither will I engage in the politically correct mentality that has permeated and dominated the way we engage each other.  I don’t deal in theories or opinions, therefore, every idea that I put forth will have met the standard of being factual and logical. 

Are you ready? Let’s begin. Take a look at this short video that outlines the problem. Learn how to keep yourself in a position to think and to make intelligent choices to advance and secure your own future regardless of what’s happening around you.  

There are thousands of authors and advice givers who will tell you what it takes to manage your stress, get
a grip on your fears, drive the doubts out of your head, cope with your sleepless nights and deal with your health issues. To top it off, they will tell you that you have to learn to love those who you can’t deal with.
This advice is well intentioned but it lacks the only thing that matters in the end which
I will call “permanence”.  The problems always re-occur like a bad dream. 

The common prescription is all about managing problems rather than fixing them.  It’s the same thing as taking an aspirin to kill pain. Pain is a warning sign that you have a problem.  Managing it doesn’t cure the problem; it only masks it for a short while. Emotional pain functions the same way.

No matter how hard you try you can never get away from you. The thoughts in our head often drive us crazy. To divert from or mask the feelings that are creating these thoughts will cause you serious consequences; I’ve been there.  I’ve lived in constant fear of what might happen next.  I’ve laid awake many a nights trying to quiet my mind. I’ve sabotaged myself in every area of my life. At times, I’ve experienced chest pains so severe I thought my heart was being strangled. When I followed the advice of the experts, I only experienced more of the same.  I could never experience the joy in anything.

I came to realize that I was the problem.  I wanted to know why we superior, intelligent humans so often do unintelligent things when it’s so obvious that we shouldn’t.  Finding this answer became my life.  It’s all explained in my book,  Think More—React Less.

I’m 69 years old now.  I take no medicine. I have no more sleepless nights. I never allow my mind to dwell on negative thoughts. I have no conflicts with the people in my life, both personally or in business. In addition, my income is twenty times higher than it was before I discovered the answer. In upcoming blog posts, you’ll learn how to keep yourself in a position to think and to make intelligent choices to advance and secure your own future regardless of what’s happening around you.
