Your Mind

"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve"

That said by one of history's richest businessmen.  Clearly someone to pay attention to, but isn't all this 'law of attraction' stuff just a bunch of airy-fairy mysticism?

Whether for personal success or directly for career success, there are…

There are 3 keys to your mind and all that you do with it.
ACTION results from the combination of THOUGHT and EMOTION. Learn to control these things, and we learn to create our life.

Over and over again I have found success to reduce into 3 vital factors:

1. The clarity of your intent
2. Your degree of organisation
3. The use of your time

Or in other words:

1. Know what you want
2. Get ready
3. Do it

Below are notes on those 3 stages of creating whatever you want. These are the 3 Keys of the Folderarchy Solution.

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”
– Mark Twain

1st: KNOW WHAT YOU WANT

Key 1: Identify Intent

We have covered the practical application of this Key throughout the course.

It is unfortunate that people are unable or unwilling to allow themselves the self-acceptance and personal power to identify clearly what there heart felt desires are.

Here is some correspondence from someone who read my Life Success Report.

"I have been visiting many different web pages over the last few weeks and months.

I am very much interested in all these subjects about self-development and the related subjects.

Although I have read a lot of books over the last ten years, e.g., Louise L. Hay and similar authors, I have never dared to “do” it.

So here I am now, nearly forty, trying to sort something out for me. It is just recently that I discovered that I have never had any goals, life goals.

And so I started to try to find out where I am, who I am and where I want to go."

Before we can accomplish anything, we need to take the time to develop a clear picture of what we want. And yes this will expand and clarify and improve with time. but it is vital to have a starting position as clear as we can make it right now.

"Before everything else, getting ready is the key to success"
- Henry Ford

"Begin it when it is finished"
- Jim Rohn

Mr Jim Rohn narrates a story in which he was to build his first house. He had the land and took people on a virtual tour showing them the fireplace where his descriptions were so vivid that the guest felt he was there and bumped his elbow at the fire place.

Begin it when it's finished means first to become so clear of what we want that in effect it is complete, at least in our mental reality. And once that is achieved, to then begin it.

Of course this can lead to 'perfectionism' and procrastination, so we need to understand Key 2.

2nd: GET READY

Key 2: Gathering Intent

ORGANIZATION AND PREPARATION

‘It is only in the doing that there is the becoming.'

How do we reconcile the contradiction between not taking action until we are well prepared, and the idea that readiness happens only from practice?

Our honest judgement combined with our weekly review keeps us ever mindful of the next movements for each project.

Are you familiar with the anecdote of the airplanes precision in direction? An airplane is on track less than 3% of the time. 97% of the time it is OFF course. So how does it manage to get from a precise point A to a precise point B? By making regular minor changes in direction to re-adjust.

We can always always identify the next action steps towards any desire. If you don't know what the next thing to do is, well then the next thing to do is sit down and think and write about what the next things to do might be. This will always always always give you enough ideas to pursue to proceed on that aeroplanes path of 97% off course so that we make the micro-adjustments towards our desired outcome.

Organization and preparation gathers our intent (the 2nd Key of the Folderarchy Solution) which means pulling together the energies and resources to lead us to Key 3; the actual manifestation of our intent.

Break desires into projects:

"What about a check-list for helping me to find solutions?"

Great idea! Use the following starting questions to begin a STC for each project.

• Can I give the task to someone else?
• Can I 'buy' a solution?
• Have I done my research?
• Are other people having the same problems?
• Did they solve it? How? Can I do the same?
• If I was someone else who could solve it, what would I do? Where would I start?
• What ideas can I write down as potential solutions, plans, starting points?

Break projects into actions and smaller projects and then into actions.

Schedule the next actions.

And then…

 

3rd: JUST DO IT!

Key 3: Manifest Your Intent

This happens when we take the EXACT action, or achieve the exact RESULT that we need that has the result of ACTUALLY making real something that we desired.

Allow the process to unfold, trust yourself to take the necessary actions and set up the necessary plans.

You can read my ongoing research, interests and integrations at www.gavrielshaw.com/mind

Key 3 is about prioritisation, scheduling, reviewing, and being flexible in your approach to success and to stay on track.

This is covered in detail in the 3rd part of the Folderarchy Formula.

Questions that you can use right now are:

1. What are the most important areas for me to work on at this time?
2. What are the next steps?
3. Am i motivated to do them?
4. Do i know how to do them?
5. Do i know how to learn or become able to do them?
6. When will i do it?
