One of the Best Analogies for Life
The mind loves to use visuals and/or analogies as tools to re-mind itself of useful concepts. In self-mastery, you must evaluate what works best for you at the moment and continue using it until it doesn’t work for you anymore. You then evaluate again.
One of my favourite concepts that I love to use and works well for all my clients and students is to compare life to the camera.
Self-Awareness
Focus on what’s important.
- What are you focused on in the present moment?
- Where are your current thoughts?
Capture the good times.
- What is your story?
- What do you want to keep and what do you want to surrender?
Develop from the negatives.
- What are your negative thoughts and emotions?
- How are you learning, developing and growing from them?
If things don’t work out, take another shot.
- What worked and what didn't work?
- How is every failure teaching you something new for the next step?
