After posting my last article about the danger of limiting assumptions, many friends called asking for advice. Mainly wanting to find techniques on how to visualize assumptions in a positive way in order not to limit, but encourage, themselves. I had received the same questions about the same topic and was replying the same way to the same people; were they getting the same answers? Not sure.
<The good news is I have been working hard with my best friends, lately finalizing certain positive self-development techniques and schemes, which I will be happy to publicly share this spring. Exciting! >
But, back to the danger of getting "insame". The slide I posted is from the Sir John Hegarty lecture I recently took. It grabbed my attention, making me think how right he was with his statement in general. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that besides being spot on with his assumption, it yet didn’t necessary guarantee the expected outcome - receiving the same answers. Why? Because we are all selfish in many ways, and in order to compensate for our lack of effort and creativity, right before getting the same answer we manipulatively switch on our subconscious translator to interpret the very same answers in different ways, in a way that best fits our actual needs. So we cheat. Yet, again.
Following up on "Please avoid limiting assumptions against us " article, my current post would love to encourage all of you to be creative and to skip the translator, as it's a trans-later, since the trans of joy getting to new discoveries will be missed. You will not only receive an answer you predetermined, but you will also receive a solution which could only confirm past beliefs.
“Creativity isn’t a job, it’s a belief. Without that belief you will never be great“ – Hegarty
