There is Always an Exchange of Value
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." - Robert Collier
Great lesson while in the shower today. A cool lesson that is.
I was going through my morning rite of cleaning the bod, when I reached up to the window and cracked it open. This should keep the mirrors from fogging up, right? Well it did that, and a bit more.
Very quickly I noticed cool air pouring into the shower. I was watching the steamy hot air float up and out of the window at the same time.
Hmmmmmm very interesting.
Could it be that in order for the hot air to go out, some cool air had to come in? That there has to be an exchange? That even in something as simple as keeping the mirrors from fogging up, the Law of Exchange of Value holds true?
Yes Virginia, it is so.
Here’s the science lesson for the day. In order for the hot air to escape, cool air must enter through the window in order to allow room for the hot air to escape.
In other words, for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. Or, nature abhors a vacuum.
Your Mindset works the same way.
When you eliminate a negative trait or habit, you can only truly do so by replacing it with a positive trait or habit. To make a change permanent, the negative habit must be replaced with a positive one. Otherwise, the chance of regressing to the poor behavior is likely.
Discipline alone won’t do it. Your discipline sleeps when you do.
Focus won’t do it. Your focus is susceptible to distraction.
Determination won’t do it. It takes too long to out-determine the past 10, 20 or 30+ years.
You must replace the old behavior with a new one and then condition it to maintain itself. Not unlike the conditioning of a piano string. Even after the string is tuned to the correct note, it must be conditioned regularly to maintain the level of performance.
Just like the good old human mindset.
There are many ways to support or condition the mindset. One is by tuning into the Performance Zone training call every Wednesday at 10:30 PM Eastern. Dial in number is 212-990-8000, access code 1522#.
