Change the alleyway view?

Someone saw a stereotypically boring and dirty alleyway and had a thought. What if this alleyway could become a beautiful thoroughfare?

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Been saying this for years. Now there’s a new BFO…

The original BFO centered on the physical example of looking at flowers and never seeing their shadows. But a simple refocus and our gaze suddenly sees their shadows everywhere, instead of their colorful blooms.

The new insight (BFO), however, just came to me. Mentally changing what we see in the future.

For example, moving from something we never think about (see) to what we always think about (see) in the future.

It’s simply having a clear, concise, and compelling vision of the future that we rarely think about (see) because it’s impossible.

Changing what we see changes what we see.

When we consistently see impossible things, we can program ourselves to continuously move toward impossible.

In the past we were never able to move toward impossible because we never thought about (saw) it.

Live and let live, mind

If Disney Ran Your Life podcast
An episode recorded every week (on average) for two years…100 episodes about Personal Vibrancy, including an entire season on Mental Vibrancy.

Let people think what they want to think.

A mentally thoughtful person has been on a long, lonely, invisible journey.

How do i know?

To ‘master’ anything, my experience says:

  1. The long way is the short cut.
  2. No one sees all your behind the scenes work.
  3. No one sees your failures.
  4. No one understands your motives.

Few will notice your thoughtful consistency once you pass the threshold from sometimes being thoughtful to often being thoughtful.

And then the dramatic leap to most of the time, and finally, potentially, to all the time.

These two matter

Looking forward to the 27th summit this Summer. Context: this photo is taken from 8,200′ on my favorite and most accessible summit.

Only two people you need to feel proud of you.

Your seven-year old self and your 70-year old self.

Do what only you can do

i’m the only known person in the world who insists balance is not a myth.

Only you can cast your vision.

Hard stop.

This ain’t rocket surgery.

You and you alone are in charge of how you see your future.

Once upon a time…

You dreamed of a future not only better than now, but much better than now.

You still on it?

Congrats.
