Three weeks to go and I call these three weeks the calm before the storm! Or the calm before the craziness because there is a LOT of planning that has to be done now!
And with all this
planning for the Christmas and the holidays, you’re thinking....
How will I get it done AND ACHIEVE MY YEAR END GOALS!
Have you heard of the “Obi-Wan approach” to achieving a goal? I learned this a long time ago by Mark Victor Hansen.
You remember Obi-Wan Knobe? He was the top-notch Jedi from the Star Wars movies and he was one of Luke Skywalkers teachers.
He was the master of acting “AS IF.”
In the original movie there’s a scene where Obi-Wan and Luke are smuggling secret plans hidden in one of their robots and are challenged by a storm trooper (a bad
guy.)
With complete confidence, Obi-Wan tells the bad guy… ”These are not the droids you’re looking for.”
The storm trooper (who you remember is a robot) repeats his words… “These are not the droids we’re looking for.”
Then he lets Obi-Wan and Luke enter the spaceport. This is called a Jedi mind trick. But it’s really not a trick. It’s the convincing of one’s “own” mind to bring about a certain result. Obi-Wan was not “hoping” the storm trooper wouldn’t recognize the droids, he was “convinced” that he would not. He shows how complete control of one’s thinking can manifest itself into physical form.
So, it’s this time of year to put on your JEDI ROBE!
When it comes right down to it, the power to begin and the power to win comes from within. Think, speak, and act “AS IF” your year-end goals have already been
accomplished.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
