1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,600
Good morning my beautiful people, welcome to my channel.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,000
Today I want to be speaking briefly about breaking through.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Thinking from potentials to possibilities.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Potential is something which can happen or not happen but possibility is something which is really possible as opposed to impossible.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Let's go just very quickly, 6 points for you here.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Understand that mind is only a repository of the past.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
A junkyard of all the successes and failures, old thought processes, memories of having solved similar issues

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
and how they were handled successfully otherwise it's quite another topic.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Subconscious behavior patterns and thinking styles each one of us have.

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Look at that brain figure over there.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000
If you haven't already watched my series on personality assessment test on YouTube, I take test one on one on Zoom for executive leaders.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So, expecting that you as an individual will come up with something brand new and shiny and beautiful and creative and expansive

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
and everybody admires you for it, your ego is getting a big boost.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Just using your past scrapyard is not only counterproductive to your team, your people, your company, your time, your energy and your life.

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Not to mention all the shareholder BS that you keep putting it around.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
But it's a naivete on your part, drop that.

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:28,000
First of all, to summarize past is just a junkyard of all your old memories, subconscious patterns, thinking style, all of the rest of it.

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So, we need, we can't always work from there if you want to get creative, if you want to get forward thinking.

19
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Number two, in the present moment you're stuck.

20
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Come to the green part over there on top of your head, things which are literally sitting on your head if you want to call it that.

21
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
In the present moment you're stuck, wanting to get out into your comfort zone.

22
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
What is your comfort zone?

23
00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Your past habits, your ways of solving by procedure and policy, getting into routine and rut or worse, you could end up getting paralyzed thinking,

24
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
going round and round repetitive patterns of thoughts.

25
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Same thing, same thought chunks over and over again in your head, one definition of insanity is that by the way.

26
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:21,000
You could also get into what I call habitual sinking, thought patterns like, this is always the case or such and such will never change,

27
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,000
or life is just this way, or this company or job or people or all of those are just this way and they all suck,

28
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
implying that somehow I am better or worse, my life is just this way or even worse.

29
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,000
My astrologist says this is a bad time and all kinds of Saturn or Rahu is screwing with my brains right now and I have a bad Mahadasha

30
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:50,000
and I could just do it with some beer and partying, dipping myself in pastries, getting Chinese takeouts and sitting with a brain fart in front of Netflix all day binge watching.

31
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Of course I am just kidding but you get the drift there.

32
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Number three, how are possibilities invited?

33
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Now we come to the yellow oval circle over there, oval circle, okay.

34
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
I am having a brain fart.

35
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Or more specifically how do I make potentials into new possibilities and then on implement them creatively or solutions that are not only new,

36
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:22,000
inventive and creative but which helps solve issues and dilemmas that I face here now in the present, in my team, in my company, here and now being present.

37
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,000
So here is what I suggest based on both my study as well as what worked for me in my career, okay.

38
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
It is really simple.

39
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Let us go through that quickly.

40
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Number four, use the frontal cortex.

41
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,000
That is that highlighted portion which is like a funny looking triangle in the brain.

42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
It is a front part.

43
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
It is literally inside your forehead.

44
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,000
This development starts fully developing only in our young adulthood onwards.

45
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
This is known by science.

46
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
You can Google all stuff about this.

47
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:56,000
The part used in forecasting, planning ahead, imaginative thinking, problem solving skills that we all possess in Italy.

48
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
We all have it by the way, not just you as the leader.

49
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I call that forward thinking as opposed to going backwards.

50
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I mean literally the brain is wired that all your stuff of the past is stored at the backside of your brain and all the front part of the brain is garnered and wired neurologically for the front viewing,

51
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,000
for the things you need to plan ahead, literally like a look ahead, okay.

52
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So, number five, use your intuition.

53
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,000
One of the most disregarded factors in creative solve problem solving today is intuition.

54
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:39,000
They just think it is Wu-Wu stuff made for the new agey people or not for the common man or not for the quote unquote professional man.

55
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:49,000
In my experience, this is hardly so intuition is a part of us that suggests something every day such as why don't you take this route to office today instead of the other one.

56
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
You only find out later that there was a huge traffic jam in the other one.

57
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Of course, I am disregarding the Google Maps and everything these days.

58
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Uber and Google Maps say everything.

59
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Where is the traffic jam route?

60
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Not talking about those kind of things folks.

61
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
You just get an intuition.

62
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Let me talk to this person or let me call up this person and check what he or she is up to just as a social call and they end up somehow giving you some ideas which you need for the problem right now.

63
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Where did such an idea come for you to call that person? That is intuition.

64
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000
We do use intuition every day.

65
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000
It is the higher mind part of us that which taps into the larger view of things like it automatically takes the overview.

66
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
That is what I am calling the higher mind.

67
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Answers that are offered without a question is typically intuition.

68
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Typically.

69
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
It just comes as statements such as which has a certainty to it.

70
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Such as which is great certainty to it.

71
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000
You just know it.

72
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
You ever heard if you still say that I feel it in my gut.

73
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
That is your intuition or you just know.

74
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
I just know such and such a thing will happen or I just know this thing will work.

75
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
That is intuition at its best.

76
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
The gut feeling, the knowing.

77
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Ask the question in your mind how should you get this?

78
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Can we get intuition voluntarily?

79
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Can we create this consciously?

80
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Yes.

81
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Yes.

82
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
And yes.

83
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
You just need to ask a question and be receptive to the answer.

84
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Don't try to answer it with your mind.

85
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Like I said the blue one.

86
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
What does it show?

87
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
It is just mind is full of junkyard of your past memories and experiences.

88
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
It cannot create something new.

89
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
No one's mind can.

90
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Not even mine.

91
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Ask the question and let it be answered by the intuition.

92
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Ask question number of times.

93
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
This I have found to be true for myself.

94
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
I am just sharing what works for me.

95
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
You decide what works for you.

96
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Various times of the day don't try to answer it.

97
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Just ask the question and stop.

98
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Ask the question and stop.

99
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Maybe ask the same question over and over again and stop.

100
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Let the answers come.

101
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
It will come.

102
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,000
It will come in the next hour or day or two days or a week.

103
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Let the answers come to you.

104
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Trust me they will.

105
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Number six.

106
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Use imagination creatively.

107
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
I mean Einstein spoke about this.

108
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
He used to create what is called as thought experiment.

109
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Where he used to put a man on a ray of light and see if he travels at the speed of light what would happen.

110
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
This is how Einstein worked out his theory of relativity.

111
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
But you can use it in your daily life as well.

112
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
You have to carry it out fully though.

113
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
This is where people fall short I have seen.

114
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:32,000
You have to put as many details in your thought experiment, in your imaginative experiment for it to fully work.

115
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
So let's say you are imagining a solution.

116
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Let's say you are not making lot of profits or your team isn't doing very well.

117
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,000
You imagine a solution and imagine it to the greatest possible detail every step.

118
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Then it will work.

119
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
This is my experience folks.

120
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
It will work.

121
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:59,000
But unless you put each and every detail that you are going to do step by step in your imagination, in your thought or imagination experiment.

122
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
So you need a lot of quiet space for this by the way.

123
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
You go every step of the way.

124
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000
You will clearly see the hurdles, the small, the insignificant steps you think are insignificant.

125
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,000
But they are very significant.

126
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
So if you miss that it will get worse.

127
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
You might not have a practical solution.

128
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
It is like oh I overlooked this stuff.

129
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Sorry now it is not going to work.

130
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Do not try to half as imagine your way to imaginative experiment.

131
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
That is where people go wrong with imaginative experiments.

132
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,000
They do not imagine the full detail, the full detail.

133
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:42,000
The amount of detail you will be putting into your thought experiment will give you the possibility of that thought experiment actually working in real life.

134
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Try out this and you will come up with original thoughts, ideas and work around as a professional leader.

135
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:56,000
You will be much better off not judging the people working for you because remember when you begin to tap into your brain like this.

136
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
In this way the blue one, the green one and the yellow one.

137
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:10,000
When you see of yourself as three compartments and you watch your own mind working in these three ways then you are really empowered my dear leader.

138
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000
One good side effects that you will know that each and every person in your team or organization is capable of this.

139
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Same human beings are the same everywhere.

140
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
It does not make you any special my dear leader.

141
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
It just makes you just one of the pack.

142
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And that will be truly humbling for you.

143
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Keep this in mind.

144
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
And if you want to subscribe to my YouTube channel most welcome go through the personality test which I am talking about.

145
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
I have put a whole lot of yada yada there for you to go through.

146
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Take care, be safe and be awesome.
