When I talk to people about mindset immunity they look at me funny, like I’m suggesting that they should be numb to everything.
Zoned out like some kind of zombie.
That’s not what I mean at all. I mean that your thinking should react to stress like your body reacts to disease. As if your thinking mind had its own immune system because I believe it does.
In the body when a pathogen comes in to do damage it’s met head-on by the active agents in the blood that are there especially to defend their territory from the invader.
They work to neutralize the effects of the virus on the rest of the body. They’re smart too; they remember things for the next time it happens. If you get a particular strain of cold virus, for example, they will fight it off then after it’s gone the system ‘remembers’ what it did to overcome the attacker. Next time that same virus comes along and tries to get a foot-hold the system will recognize it and quickly mobilize to eliminate it with greater efficiency than before.
This is what our computer virus protection is modeled after. Would you turn off your your anti-virus protection, drop your firewall, and then go surfing on the internet?
Probably not.
Then why would you take your thinking, unprotected as it is, out into the world every day? If we can design a machine to have a type of immune system then why can’t our human thinking have one as well?
Sounds like a crazy question?
Maybe not.
In his book “The Big Moo” author Seth Godin points out: “The world is changed, but our organizations haven’t changed along with it. We can no longer rely on the old solutions…”
I agree. A long time ago I recognized that when people want to improve their ability to do well in the world by becoming more motivated they typically do what has been done for decades. They reach for the next self-help book, seminar, or system and then try to glean motivational energy from it. They get all high on the information.
That’s a problem.
It’s a problem because what they’re attempting to do is run on borrowed energy. The original ideas are not theirs. They’re someone else’s. That emotional high is like a drug and like all drugs it wears off. Then, like any addict, they need to go back for more. That keeps the self-help publishers happy.
I know that to believe in yourself is tough when the evidence to support that belief is hard to find. But that’s only because you don’t know where to look for it. There is an abundance of support for a solid belief in your own abilities but it’s buried under the weight of your many failures. You just need to commit the time to dig through them.
If you’re willing to do that I’ll lend you the tool that will help you dig.
Just shoot me a line and ask for more info about The H.E.R.O. Discovery eMachine. Don’t worry about money. It won’t cost you a dime.
After you use H.E.R.O. you won’t have to breathe someone else’s fire ever again.
