Achieve All Your Goals
Achieve All Your Goals by Alan Tutt http://www.KeysToPower.com
What do you want out of life? Most of the people I talk to want
to make life easier. They don't really care about dominating the
world, or even reaching the pinnacles of success. They want to
work a little less, make a little more money, have their
relationships be a little more satisfying. There is nothing
wrong with this idea. Life is usually a series of growth steps.
Moving from one level to the next level slightly further ahead
than the last. Evolution on a personal level.
But why stop there? What if you could have all your dreams
fulfilled? What if you could say some magic word and have all
your troubles go away? While not the majority, there is
definitely a large population who would like this scenario.
Instant gratification. I want it all. Give me, give me, gimme.
Sound familiar? I'm sure you've heard this tune from at least
one person in the last month.
What's the difference between these two mindsets? One point of
view only wants the next step in the pathway of evolution. The
other wants everything now. I think that the main difference
between these two mindsets is one of belief. One person believes
that they can have it all, and the other believes that getting a
little bit more is all they can have or all they should have.
Of course, the person who believes that it is wrong to want
everything will disagree with me. This person will say that the
difference is one of values and morals. Anyone who studies
history and cultures will realize at some point that values and
morals depend greatly on the society in which one lives. In some
cultures, it is considered a great honor to take the head of an
enemy and eat his body. In other cultures, women are considered
the superior sex. In still other cultures, education is
considered a waste of time. These 'values' are at odds with what
is generally accepted in America as being 'right', or the normal
course of life.
Today, the many cultures of the world are becoming much closer
to each other, much easier to make contact with. We can no
longer remain ignorant of other cultures and their value
systems. Gradually, we are starting to accept the differences
between ourselves and other people. Being intellectually
sophisticated, we are beginning to realize that values are
indeed relative, and may be exchanged with other values when the
time and situation is right.
Whether you believe that you deserve to have everything you want
in life, or if it is 'better' to make progress a step at a time
doesn't matter. You can live your life any way you want to live
it. One thing that we all have in common is that we want our
lives to improve. And we will use techniques that seem logical
and feel natural to us. If it seems logical to take additional
classes to get ahead in our job, and it is not too difficult to
take those classes, most of us will take that step. If it seems
logical to change certain habits in order to make progress in an
area of life we care about, and there is a process of changing
those habits that does not require us to do anything unpleasant,
we will usually take the steps to make the required changes.
What goals are you wanting to attain? What steps seem logical to
you to reach those goals? Does it seem logical to you to
increase the effectiveness of your mind? Would improving your
perceptive abilities, your creativity, your memory, and your
intellect move you closer to your goals? Experts have agreed for
many years that we are living in an age where information is the
most valuable commodity we can possess. Some experts are now
saying that our 'information age' is quickly becoming a
'communication age'. Information is so commonly available now,
so much so that we are drowning in a sea of it, that what we
need most is not raw information but rather refined information
communicated well.
This is not something that is easily done, at least not by the
average person. But there are techniques that the average person
can use to achieve this level of mental ability. Using specific
techniques, anyone can increase their mental abilities, in much
the same way that anyone can use specific physical techniques to
improve their physical performance. Physical exercise will
condition the body to perform better. There exists mental
exercises which will condition the mind to perform better.
Here is a description of one of these exercises, designed to
increase perceptiveness. Pick an object to look at and examine
it in extreme detail. Notice everything about the object, the
color, texture, shape, individual shapes which together make up
the object. If the object is small enough, pick it up and notice
the weight, the distribution of weight, and the object's
solidity. Imagine being very tiny and walking on the surface of
the object. What is that like? Imagine being able to pass into
the mass of the object and notice what sensations you get from
that. While you may not be able to rely on this imagining to
produce any real information, the effort to gather information
not readily available stretches the mind to look for more subtle
information and become aware of it. Follow this line of
exploration using all of your senses, sight, sound, smell,
touch, taste, and imagination.
Here's an exercise designed to increase creativity. Pick any two
objects. Pick them at random, even if you have to close your
eyes and point two fingers to choose them. Now imagine the first
object becoming more like the second. See it change shape, yet
retain it's original function. See it retaining it's own shape,
but performing the function of the second object. See the two
objects merging together and becoming one object. What does this
new object do? What does it look like? Now, what else can you
change about these objects? Can you make them sing and dance?
What other functions could you make them perform?
Here's another exercise, which results in some very interesting
benefits. Find a comfortable spot to sit for at least 15-30
minutes. Try to empty your mind of all thoughts and simply
experience everything around you. Pay attention to everything.
Try to look at everything all at once. Try to hear every nuance
of sound. Try to identify every odor in the air. Focus on every
sensation of texture and pressure (the pressure of air flow, of
temperature, of sound). Focus on every detail and try to keep
them all in your awareness simultaneously. This will be very
difficult, yet will expand your mind like nothing else. You will
have to get completely out of your own way. If you think about
anything, you will miss most of the experience. If you find
yourself analyzing something, or daydreaming, or thinking about
something else, don't chastise yourself, simply pick up the
exercise again and start over.
There are many other exercises, and these exercises may be taken
in different directions to improve the benefits in specific
circumstances. If you want to improve your effectiveness in
attaining your goals, work on these exercises. Try to create
your own exercises to push the limits of your mental capacity.
You will see gradual changes in the results you get in all areas
of your life.
If you are interested in taking your mental development to it's
highest level, there is a course available that will lead you,
step by step, through many different exercises, each designed
for a specific purpose, and all working together for a greater
effect. This course has been created from a system called the
Keys To Power. The course itself is called the Keys To Power
Mastery System and is available at http://www.KeysToPower.com.
