M.A.G.I.C.’s “1% Club”

BREATHE!

I never get out of bed before I know how I can produce 1% greater M.A.G.I.C. in my day.

1% clearer connection to my positive role MODEL

1% more effective and efficient and dynamic ACTION

1% greater GRATITUDE for my blessings

1% clearer visualization of INTENTIONS (goals)

1% more COURAGE and CONVICTION that I can and SHOULD accomplish my dreams.

This is a basic model. It gets you “in the game.” If you rate a zero in ANY of these categories, your engine is spinning without being connected to your power train: you are burning gas and oil without getting anywhere, and your destination is exhaustion, defeat, and depression.

This is where you start. Use the Five Minute Miracle to break your negative patterns, and keep your eyes on the prize: a life of joy and contribution. Ask yourself not just: “how can I accomplish this with elegance and integrity” but add “ — and have FUN in the process!!”

NOW your Reticular Activating Mechanism is seeking the right answer. You do NOT want it finding painful, unpleasant ways to accomplish your goals. Ask yourself:

1. What can I learn from this situation?
2. What will I be able to teach or share after I succeed in this situation?
3. How can I grow from this situation?
4. What is there about this situation that is FUNNY?
5. How can I be GRATEFUL about being in this situation?

Ask the better question, and you’ll get the better answer.

Namaste
