http://mindpersuasion.com/ If you succeed, you'll have nothing left to accomplish. If you fail, it will feel miserable. That's why you've always got to have a huge goal you are pursuing to feel alive. Learn More: http://mindpersuasion.com/tools/

1. Avoid The Two Tragedies of Life

2. One thing your brain is good at is
categorizing things.

3. Scientists have discovered that
primitive cultures have an inherent
knowledge of different plant species.

4. They intuitively know which plants,
even when they see them the first
time, whether they'll be good for
medicine, or eating, or clothing.

5. Surprisingly, these instinctive
categories match up pretty closely
with scientific categories.

6. One of the Meta Programs, those
semi-permanent filters we carry
around with us, is to sort by similarity,
or sort by differences.

7. Like if you looked at a bunch of shapes,
you might automatically see how they
were similar to each other, or different
from each other.

8. Knowing how you do this can help.

9. Sometimes sorting by similarity is
helpful, sometimes sorting by
difference is helpful.

10. If you always choose "bad"
relationship partners, for example, you
might be sorting for something similar
when you should be sorting for
something different.

11. They say insanity is doing the same
thing over and over and expecting a
different result.

12. One way to get out of any rut is to
make a pretty big change.

13. Nothing HUGE, like moving to new city,
but rearranging all your furniture, or
changing your schedule around.

14. This can kind of shake up the way you
look at things, so you'll see things a bit
differently.

15. Start noticing things that are helpful,
and suddenly not notice those things
that aren't helpful.

16. Often times we think we want
something, but only part of us does.

17. Or we want only part of what we think
we want.

18. Whenever we're attempting to
manifest something, we often
overlook two crucial areas.

19. One is what we'll have to give up if we
get it.

20. The other is what we'll have to accept
if we get it.

21. They say there are two tragedies in
life.

22. One is not getting what you want. The
other is getting it.

23. Why is this?

24. Well, if you never get what you want,
or never even try, that clearly sucks.

25. But if you DO get what you want, what
then?

26. Sit around and watch TV?

27. Hang out down at the bar and watch
TV there?

28. The truth is that the pursuit of goals is
where you're most happy.

29. When you're taking action, measuring
your results, and getting closer and
closer.

30. Think about this.

31. You've got this HUGE goal out there.

32. You figure it may take a couple of
years.

33. So you start taking action.

34. Then you start getting closer.

35. Then you come to a FANTASTIC
realization.

36. That original goal is simply to big
enough.

37. The closer you get, the bigger you
make it, and the further you push it
out there.

38. If you haven't chosen something BIG,
or haven't started moving toward it,
you should.

39. It's pretty exciting when you do.
