The Center of the Universe

I keep looking for a way to present the answer to all our problems. You see, I know can fix everything. Yeah! Exactly! As soon as you say anything like this the alarms go off and readers can't click away fast enough. Ok maybe not fixing everything, but a really big improvement. I was fortunate enough to have learned from some great thinkers, teachers and business people. My study partners included Ruth Otte former CEO of the Discovery Channel, (she grew revenues from $8 to $365 million), Dr. Matthew Budd, past Harvard Medical School professor, and others

One of my skills has been to teach new ideas to others, and this is my offer to pass on the knowledge and discoveries of some of our greatest thinkers. So here goes. Try to hang in for at least a paragraph or two and you may glimpse the enormous benefit of being able to see everything more clearly and make every decision more wisely. If something doesn't make sense or you disagree, post a comment and we can discuss it.

The number one problem? It's everything you know. Huh? Yeah, when was the last time you checked out and verified any of the stuff you know? Here's an example of how "knowing" works and why "learning" something different than what you know, is a problem.

At one time the earth was the center of the universe. Everyone knew it and it was also obvious by just looking at the sky and seeing how the sun, the moon and the stars revolved around us. Can you imagine Copernicus stopping in at a bar and telling the locals "Hey, I just figured out the ground, the land we live on is spinning around like a top, and not only that but we're speeding through space, racing around the sun, and ... and ... " I hope you get the idea. The biggest problem Copernicus faced in getting the facts out was that everyone already KNEW otherwise. So this is where I'm headed. To talk about things that you know, and show that there is a way to test what you know, and point out the benefits of understanding how knowing works; little things like improving every decision and thing you do in your life and in your relationships, both personal and business.

Why me? Well this stuff isn't mine, I learned it from people that are, well..., scientists, philosophers, business people, etc. They write the kinds of books and papers that only others like them read. I'll mention some of them later on, but really only for credibility, I don't expect you to try and read them. It's like picking up a book on installing a computer network when you don't know much about computers. Or like buying "The Secret" only to find that manifesting a million dollars is still a secret. They had a lot of good ideas, but they lacked the ability to show you HOW to manifest.

Here are the main topics I will cover in this series.

• Knowing
• How many "Earth is Flat / Center of the Universe" bits of knowledge are you carrying around? If everyone else knows the same bit, what are the opportunities in discovering the real facts? Once upon a time you may have known about the Easter Bunny, are there any more bunnies?
• Thinking
• Not what you think it is :-)
•  What it isn't
• Assessments/Characterizations
• Did you ever do something and later say "What the heck was I thinking"? Miss an opportunity and wonder what happened? Have a date or relationship that Umm, wasn't the best choice? I'll show you what went wrong, and how to make better choices in the future.
• How things get done
• Think about this: When you ask for something (request) it's ALWAYS about something that would NOT have happened if you didn't ask for it. You're going to be surprised to see how many problems arise from not understanding the simple rules of asking for things to happen.

 Don't expect everything to make sense right away, the stuff  I'm writing about is a lot closer to my imaginary Copernicus' bar talk than you can imagine. If you have any questions, go ahead and post them, and I'll do my best to clarify.
