I probably could write three articles on the ideas that I plan to incorporate here in this one, but I hope you’ll stay with me here.

Social Media

I have had the hardest time getting my brain wrapped around the concept of Social Media. I have struggled with many different aspects of it and although I’m happy to report that I get it now, my favorite quote from the movie The Princess Diaries captures the truth, “The concept is grasped but the execution is a little illusive.”
In trying to figure out why such a simple concept has me so stupefied, I have had a couple of revelations that I hope others like myself will fine useful in their pursuits.

Bob Proctor

Now many of you at this point might be saying “whats he got to do with this”…sit tight, I’m getting to it.
I was listening to one of his CD from his Born To Be Rich series the other day, which incidentally I’ve listened to before, but this time I heard something I’d missed the previous times. He was talking about how we are products of our conditioning. That we must be willing to let go of we have learned and been taught before we can learn what we desire.
See, most of us envy attributes in others because we see them possessing something we lack because we’ve been conditioned to think that. But we are all connected to the same thinking stuff that Wallace Wattles talks about in his book The Science Of Getting Rich.
So what Bob is saying is that we can have, create, and possess, the mindset to have, create, and possess what ever attributes, skills, and accomplishments we desire, BUT first we must be will to give up, let go, kick to the curb, what we think we know. Because at that very moment that envy appears, what we think we know is not the truth, it is our conditioning.
Are you still with me?

My Conditioning

I had it drilled into me as a child to MIND MY OWN BUSINESS. The thought of going on the web telling the world what I’ve been up to, seeing what others have been doing and actually throw in my two cents, well… you can imagine the disdain that every fiber of my being had to go against the very core of my conditioning. I have had to replace thoughts like, who cares what these people are doing, who cares what I’m doing, and who’s business it it anyway, with a little more open perspective. I still struggle with the fact that people might find value in the things I have to say, but the things I learn from others is mind blowing. They’ve opened the possibilities of concepts and ideas that never, ever would have enter my mind, and to think all from the comfort of my home, at my very fingertips. WOW!! Who would have thought.
My girls laugh at me because they no nothing of such a conditioning. They use the internet and Social Media like I use to play in the streets with all the other neighborhood kids (a concept they have only heard about).

Avitar

I know that this movie struck a cord with the masses for so many reasons. But the one thing I took away from it was the visualization of plugging my hair into the thinking stuff. I see it intertwining with my personal cord, communicating my desires into it and watching how quickly and naturally it responds to them. When I find my negative conditioning pulling me in the opposite direction of my goals and desires, I stop for just a second and see my hair plugging into source and it taking me where I want to go. I also use it to help me past my discomfort when sharing little tidbits of my life on all the Social Media sites.

Pretty cool…right?

Well, my intention was to really make this more of business tutorial on understanding, and over coming the hurdles of Social Media, but I think maybe went a little off course. Hope it was useful anyway…it would be an honor to have you as friend or follow, see you on the sites!
