 | How to Create Automatic Success |
Today's headline is not what you think because success, at first, is NOT automatic. But it IS after awhile. Let me explain. Right now you have many skills that you rarely, if ever, consider. You know how to talk, type, surf the Internet, walk, read, eat, put on clothes, bathe, and so on. All of these skills are automatic for you right now.

But at one time they were a struggle. Learning to speak your first word may have taken you a year. Learning to walk, about the same amount of time, give or take a few months. When you learned to walk you fell down repeatedly. Yet, you got back up each time you fell down - until you mastered walking and it became automatic. Think about driving for a moment. Today, you can probably drive a car and talk on your cell phone at the same time. Yet, at one time, when you drove, you had to stay fully conscious of every move you made ... or else ... and even then you might have had a scrape or bump. Once the skill you have learned is implanted in your subconscious, it takes over and you no longer have to think about it. It is automatic. Well, how you see yourself, your self-image, is also on automatic. Over a period of years, you fed and were fed things about yourself that you came to believe of as fact. Yet, they may not be fact. They may be and probably are mere opinion that you think is true. I once knew a guy in college that I thought was the stupidest guy in town. And he had the grades to prove it. Today he is a Ph.D. What was the difference? He changed his self-image with the principles of Psycho-Cybernetics. He stopped seeing himself as stupid. He pictured the things he was smart about and transferred that same energy to the things he wanted to learn - and it worked like magic. A few weeks ago I started working with a couple pairs of Chinese baoding balls. I put two in each palm and while I walk I move them in a circular fashion, using nothing but my fingers and concentration. Once I got fairly decent with two in one hand, I watched a DVD of a man in China using five in one hand for some exercises - but usually three. In fact, he went through an entire chi kung routine, holding various stances, and his hands never stopped moving the baoding balls. This made me think: Okay, let's go to three in one hand. Let me tell you, I couldn't do it. I kept dropping one of the balls from each hand. But each time I dropped the ball I said to myself, 'Pick it up and do it again. You can learn this.' Eventually I stopped dropping the ball. I could maneuver three balls at once. Not well, But I could make them move. When I got even better with three balls an interesting thing happened. I noticed that I was walking, juggling and thinking about something else, all at the same time. Just as if I was driving. The new skill was becoming automatic - it was becoming cybernetic. That is how your mind works when you give it a new image to ponder. At first it may seem odd, after all, you are used to thinking differently about yourself. But in a relatively short period YOU begin to change on the outside. You begin to match the image of yourself on the inside. And the new you becomes Automatic. None of this need be a struggle. Think of it as play. Best Regards, Matt Furey
