I have a passion ... and I would like to share why I feel my passion is so important.
If our car needs servicing we take it to a mechanic. If we're sick we take ourselves to the doctor and they prescribe medication. If our TV packs up we buy another.
But what happens when our thinking, mindset and beliefs no longer serve us, is unable to cope with the complexity or just downright keeps us stuck.
What do we do then. Take out psyche to the mechanic?
What makes our mind different from anything else, is that only we can work to improve, fix and transform it. Others can help, show, teach or coach us, but no one else can do it for us.
Would you take your car to a mechanic who knows nothing about mechanics? Would you take you child to a doctor who knows nothing about medicine and physiology? ... Of course not.
In order to improve our lot, improve the world, which in most cases amounts to exactly the same thing, we need to 'heal' and 'upgrade' our mind [think software upgrade; iOS6], if you know what I mean. But to do that we need to know how it works, the mechanics of our psyche.
No auto-updates I'm afraid.
The more we know, the more empowered we become, and the better we understand and relate to others. The more we know the more effective and caring we become as a parent, boss, co-worker, leader, citizen and partner.
Although sharing words of wisdom has a value ... The real value lies in knowing how to work intelligently, effectively and compassionately with the hidden driver of all we are. Our very own psyche.
