Howard Bloom: The Usefulness Of Feeling Useless

I am a big fan of Howard Bloom. Not only is he smart, he is insightful. He brings together the various ideas that he discusses — from the worlds of biology, psychology, sociology, neurology, physics, economics, statistics, and many other fields – and presents them in ways that are useful and illuminating.

For those not familiar with Mr. Bloom, please look into his books: The Genius of the Beast: A Radical Re-vision of Capitalism; The Lucifer Principle: A Scientific Expedition Into the Forces of History; and Global Brain: The Evolution of Mass Mind from the Big Bang to the 21st Century.

Now, this “video” (I put that in quotes because it is an audio interview and there is no real video to go along with it), at least at first glance, may offend some. The name of the show (or the name of the YouTube user) is “The Amazing Atheist.” Please don’t let that sway you to not listen to all 90 minutes! I guarantee that you will find much of what they discuss to be useful and fascinating, and, at the very least, you will learn something new.

How does this apply to Haanel and The Master Key System?

How does this apply to Master Key Coaching?

How does it apply to the upcoming Master Key Teleseminars?

Give it a listen. I think it will be obvious when you’re about half way through.

If not, then please post a comment. I think this interview will lead to a good discussion.

This is a phenomenal story that Tony Robbins tells about Sylvester Stallone and how the movie Rocky was made. Inspiring and incredible. Please enjoy!

There are many things that you can do today — right now — that will increase your chances for success.

What is the BIG ONE, though?

Is there even a BIG ONE?

I know that there is.

It’s something that most people don’t do.

Why don’t they do it? Is it too hard? Don’t people know any better? What is it?

It’s theoretically simple, but it is a hard thing to do. But, once it is done, then success, while not guaranteed, is definitely closer. Success becomes in reach!

So, what is it?

As I wrote, it’s seemingly simple, but oh so hard to do.

It’s …

DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

See? Simple.

Yet hard.

You have to make the decision that you are going to do something. You must stand by that decision. You must follow through on that decision and see it to the end. When you do that — and as you do that more and more — you’ll find yourself becoming … *gasp* … SUCCESSFUL!

Why?

Because successful people do what other people are either unwilling or unable to do.

Most people are not able and willing to make a decision — to choose a course of action — and stick to it.

Think about how many people declare New Year’s resolutions. Now, think about those people one, two, three months later. They’ve forgotten their resolutions, haven’t they? They’re unwilling and they’re unable.

But you are willing and able. Because you were meant to be successful. That’s why you’re here.

Now, please note one thing:

I did not write “DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT.”

I wrote “DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.”

There’s a big — huge! — difference between the two.

Some gurus, movies, infomercials, whatever declare that all you have to do is concentrate on the things you want. We all want things. We’re human beings. We want an infinite amount of things. Sitting around and thinking about them all the time is nothing more than mental masturbation. Or, as Haanel would write, “mental dissipation.”

While those things that you want may serve as an incentive, it’s not the thing that will bring you success

Only your actions will bring you success!

Once you begin thinking about what you want to do — whether it be starting a business, changing careers, embarking on a career, helping a charity, going on an adventure, exploring, writing a book, learning a new skill, solving a problem, going on a date — and once you make that decision, then the planning is easy. And when the plan is in place, the doing practically becomes a no-brainer.

Chances are likely that once you decide to do something, you can find someone whom you can model — and perhaps even follow their plan!

If you know where you’re going (what you want to do) and you have a map (a plan), how much will your odds of succeeding increase?

From my experience, I would say a lot. It happens with me — and I see it happen with my Master Key Coaching clients all the time.

So stop masturbating over vision boards. Become the person you want to be by your actions — by the things you do — not the things you own.

People on their deathbeds never regret not having things. They only regret the things they haven’t done!

Decide what you want to do and do it!

It’s the best — and only — way to become successful.

The pot of gold.

It’s what we’re all after, isn’t it? Whether it’s a literal pot of gold or something that would be worth as much as a pot of gold to us, it’s our goal, our aim.

It’s what we want.

There’s nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all.

We all have goals and aims and dreams. We all want better.

Heck! We all want the best.

But are we missing something — something perhaps more important —as we voraciously pursue those things?

And as we ceaselessly search for that pot of gold, are we perhaps dooming ourselves to always missing it?

If there is one thing I have discovered as I study the Philosophy of Success, it’s that the people who only aim for the pot of gold invariably miss the rainbow — and, more often than not, the pot of gold as well!

Most people just look for the pot of gold; successful people follow and enjoy the rainbow — and the pot of gold just reveals itself.

Whether you’re in business for yourself or working for “the man,” your devotion to service and to your customers and clients — your ability to enjoy the rainbow in and of itself — is what makes you attain or fail.

Even if you pursue personal development not for the sole purpose of making money, but rather for the purpose of attaining enlightenment or some such similar state, you’ll invariably find that it’s not the pot of gold that provides that, but the rainbow.

As one man said, “Success is a journey, not a destination.“

A good way to really launch 2010 would be with a success story. So, that’s just what I have for you: a story about a person who attained a goal, a dream.

When Lena came to me last year as a Master Key Coaching client, she had one goal: to finish the work on her and her husband’s bed & breakfast.

After a year of hard work — both mental and physical — Lena is proud to open the doors to her newly remodeled and renovated bed & breakfast to the public.

Click here to visit the Nygard Manorhouse web site and see what Lena has accomplished and attained.

If you’re in Europe and you’re looking for a weekend getaway, then this is the place to go. Look at that web site! The work Lena has done is beautiful! From cozy rooms to homemade pastries to horseback riding and golfing, Lena has created for herself and her guests a literal paradise on Earth.

The Nygard Manorhouse in Sweden.

How did she do this?

How silly of you to ask! She did it just the way that Haanel describes in The Master Key System.

She visualized what she wanted. (She set her goal.)

When you set definite goals, it becomes easier to hit a "hole in one."

She made plans to make it happen. (She used inductive reasoning to create action steps for the attainment of her goal.)

When you think correctly, you create beautiful "rooms" in your mind, just like Lena created beautiful rooms in her bed & breakfast. "As within, so without."

She took action! (She worked hard because, as Haanel wrote, the law of success is service.)

You can take possession of that which you deem to be yours. You must take action to make it happen!

She solved problems. (When she hit a bump in the road, she didn’t panic; she allowed the Law of Attraction to guide her to a solution.)

Success comes to those who solve problems. After all, a goal is nothing more than a problem.

The results speak for themselves.

In 2010, make it your mission to select a goal — a big, lofty, worthy, and juicy goal! — and work toward its attainment.

It may not be easy, but the good things in life seldom are easy. You’ll work harder than you ever have before, but all that work is good for the soul. You may have to leave the old behind you, but what’s beyond the horizon may be better than you imagined.

It just may be your little piece of Heaven on Earth.

When you’re in Sweden, pay Lena a visit at Nygard Manorhouse. See what a dream, some right thinking, and some hard work can attain for you.

You’ll be glad that you did.

In The Master Key System, Haanel tells us to dream and act on big, worthy dreams.

One of Donald Trump‘s rules from his book The Art of the Deal is to “Think big!”

My new friend “Fireball” Tim Lawrence on his blog has as his mantra to THINK BIG.

And so should you.

Should you ever forget to think big, should you ever feel that you are thinking too big, it will do you well to remember this poem from 1918 by Jessie B. Rittenhouse.

You will get that for which you ask. So why are you only asking for “a penny”?

“My Wage”

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid.

—Jessie B. Rittenhouse (1918)

Always remember to get for yourself the best of everything!

Have fun … Tony.

PS – The best way to “ask for a raise”—to get the best of everything—is to tune in, unlock, and attain.
