ABI Mindset Mastery: Independence Through Insight and Action
The Key to Our Power: Harnessing the Power of Decision
Our power lies in the ability to act and produce results. This potential is harnessed through the power of decision.
“At some point, we've got to stop evaluating and start doing. Decide what’s most important to us, and use our power to follow through and begin to change the quality of our lives.”
Key Principles
Most of us in life “major in minor things.” We are focused on how to make a living instead of how to design our lives. We get caught up in day-to-day experiences which seem very important at the moment but are not in the long term.
Every moment is a fresh opportunity to change our lives for the better. The past does not equal the future.
Success in life is the result of good judgment, which is usually the result of experience. Experience often comes from bad judgment. The most important key to achieving results is to act. It’s impossible to fail as long as we learn something from our actions.
What changes our lives is not learning more. It is making decisions, using our power, and taking action. It’s in our moments of decision that our destiny is shaped.
Success leaves clues. We use role models to accelerate the pace of our success.
Taking Control: The First Step
Neuro-Associations: Whatever pain or pleasure we associate or “link” to a situation in our nervous system is going to determine our behavior. We can learn to feel good or bad about anything in a moment by directing this force, thus directing our lives simply by changing our neuro-associations (pain, pleasure) to it.
“We are always learning, i.e., making new neuro-associations as to what will lead to pain and what will lead to pleasure. We cannot not learn.”
Key Principles
The meaning we associate with any given situation is what controls our lives. By making simple changes in what meanings we link to things, we can change our behavior.
Neuro-associations are ‘anchors’. They are conditioned associations within the nervous system that link certain feelings or sensations to a given context.
We must be careful about the associations we are creating. Sometimes they empower us and other times they disempower us.
Change is merely the interruption of an old pattern of association and the creation of a new pattern of association. What past associations have created anchors that we allow to control us right now?
We have to change our conditioned responses to our environments. If we want to feel a certain way about something, we make ourselves feel it strongly, and while feeling this way, link it to something else through spaced repetition.
