Have you ever heard (or even said) something like ‘he’s in his own little world!’. I heard this the other day while sitting on a train on a business trip to Paris….. not a bad place to do business!
I’ve heard it myself dozens of time and even said it. But this time, it got me thinking that each one of us lives in our own unique world, really. The way we perceive and experience things are unique to us and no-one else. We are conditioned by the way we grew up, by the values and beliefs we develop as part of our environment (people and things), by the limitations we were given or adopted, by the emotions we experience, by the attitudes, and opinions we experience. So you see, this conditioning affects everything we do and our every outlook on life. It’s a kind of distortion, similar to looking through a curved window.
With over 6 billion people in the world, that’s a lot of individual worlds and a lot of curved windows!
The effect on our Potential
This conditioning, the way in which we see things, makes us believe that that’s the way things are, and has an effect on how we perceive ourselves. As you can imagine, this distortion can have a huge impact on whether we are able to reach our maximum potential.
Recognising this effect is a huge first step to being able to make any changes necessary to break through any barriers (or distortions). We can now start to see things in a different light. We start to understand the impact these beliefs, values, emotion, attitudes and opinions have had on our own decisions and why they have often felt incongruent to us. When this happens a phenomenal thing happens. Things click into place. Any anger that we experience starts to drift away because we now understand why we feel angry – we understand that the conditioning has distorted our views. Our experience of life improves, and keeps on improving!
We are able to shake off the shackles of our conditioning and continue to grow and improve – to reach our maximum potential. It might seem a bit frightening at first because it’s sometimes easier to stay as we are, to continue to accept our conditioning and all of the limitations that it holds for us. There’s an element of security in that conditioning.
But if you want to make changes in your life, take advantage of this learning. Recognise that you have the power within you to Be MORE – Do MORE – Achieve MORE.
We all have within us the potential to be our very, very best. We just need to take a little bit of a risk now and then to step outside of our comfort zone and to experience the freedom it can give us.
Take Action
1. Look at areas in your life where your perception may be distorted by your conditioning and make a list.
2. What one thing can you do today to change the effect the conditioning has had on you?
3. Be bold – be adventurous! Make the change today, and tomorrow, and every day after that. It only takes approximately 21 days to change a habit.
4. Then come back to this blog and share your experience with us.
At Quantum Coaching and Consulting we work with people to help them understand and re-evaluate their conditioning, so that they are able to make lasting changes. If there’s anything that’s holding you back, give us a call to see how we can help you help yourself!
