So this just got a quick exercise for you here, this is just a few questions I'm going to ask you,
given your opportunity now to start developing the wise, your wise mind right away if this is something
that you even want to do already.
Oh, problems and tensions can be resolved or managed with humble reflection and introspection.
Quite a bold there suggestion statement to make.
But if it's not true, then I guess we don't have any hope that things could possibly ever be better
for us.
We're forever going to be reliant on a professional or a mistake or a magic man somewhere to resolve
things.
For us, introspection precedes self-awareness, emotional management and all personal growth.
All right.
So I'm going to ask a few questions here to invoke introspection.
Introspection as a term, though, again, appreciate we've already touched upon is when we just simply
look within what happens if you were to come across an inspector in your local police department, what
do inspectors, the inspectors or if you've ever watched the old film, Inspector Clouseau arranges
to go around with his little moustache and its magnifying glass, and he would look at clues, examine,
examine evidence, things like this.
Right.
That's what inspectors and the police would do.
And when we introspect, we simply reflect.
We contemplate and we look at the facts.
We look at evidence within, all right, where we're no longer willing to succumb to our emotions or
our rational opinions.
We're instead seeking to appreciate that, which is true.
So I'm going to give you a few opportunities here.
I want you to consider a relationship in your life in which there is currently a tension.
We understand the difference between problems to be solved, intentions to be managed.
So here's your opportunity to grow, friend.
How do you want to manage a relationship tension that you currently have in your life?
And just answer this question, right, don't voice an opinion about it, you don't need a 10 page action
plan or anything like that, just simply acknowledge how it is that you actually want to manage a relationship
tension that you have and write it down.
How do you want to resolve this?
Because then all is required for you to do is go and take some action.
Question number two, how do you need to resolve a problem that you have in your life?
We know the problems are generally always systems, are processes orientated, i.e. a lack of systems,
a lack of processes equate to arise and problems.
So identify a problem that you have in your life can be a relationship tension and just simply acknowledge
how you need to resolve this.
And then make a decision.
What opportunity do you have in your life, must you take responsibility for today, what opportunity
can you identify that you must take responsibility for today?
Many people go through life saying things like, oh, I'm just looking for an opportunity.
I'm just looking for an opportunity.
The problem is most people don't recognize opportunity because it comes along dressed in disguise,
looking like hard work and wearing a pair of overalls.
A wise man once said that already so many people only want opportunities in life that are easy, that
are quick fix instantly gratifying, but opportunities generally good ones anyway, tend to require
a little bit of effort, ingenuity and an effort.
So opportunity should take responsibility for.
Just have a look and see.
Right.
Never mind what you think.
Never mind how you feel.
It was true.
What is true?
What role have you played and the outcomes that you're currently working in now?
Because this is the state section of the course.
Let's look at your current state.
Are you currently working in a place of turmoil, disturbance, panic, stress disorder, chaos?
We're obviously just looking at the negatives here, perhaps mistrust as a relationship falling apart
recently as have you kind of damage the trust in a relationship as a business falling apart, ARIAH
unemployed or you go around in circles.
Are you bored?
Are your lonely?
It is something that you feel yourself lacking in life.
What role are you playing in this outcome?
What part are you playing?
Are you truly the victim?
Genuinely is the world out to get you or are you playing a part in this?
All right.
It's when we accept responsibility for what is true, that we can generally identify the opportunities
that we have to improve and grow.
Question number five, how can you manage yourself more effectively today?
Are you an emotional train wreck?
People who know you well, are you the kind of person who can just be trusted, never mind what you
want to be known as?
Right.
Never mind what your ideal is.
Right.
What you think people could come to you for if you were someone else in your life?
What can you actually be counted on for?
An emotionally stable, consistent?
Are you a source of mature guidance and wisdom and input when people have complex problems or complex
relational tensions need to manage much in life?
Are you the kind of person you come to for impune wisdom and guidance or are not?
If so, there will be a reason for that.
If not, there will be a reason for that.
How can you manage yourself more effectively today that might result in you earning?
More trust from other people that you have in your life and a final question, what don't you know that
you need to know today?
What do you know about yourself?
What don't you understand about life?
What don't you fully grasp that you need to grasp in order to conduct yourself more efficiently, more
effectively, more productive, more productively in any aspect of your life, your relationships,
your work, your career or whatever?
Right now, obviously, you're the only person in the world who can answer these questions, but you're
only going to answer these questions objectively and wisely if you're not functioning and given a rational,
opinionated response or an emotional and irrelevant response or truth based responses to these questions,
my friend, and you shall develop your wise mind right away.
Useful.
Spend some time considering the answers and I'll see you again in the next clip.
