“Something amazing happens when you’re in love and
don’t give a damn about what day it is anymore.”
― Chad Sugg
Seriously, reflect back on key decisions you’ve made, where you pursued “Good” (safe, socially accepted, etc.) instead of “Amazing”!
Do you consistently make decisions that give you the opportunity to truly be yourself and pursue “Amazing”?
Or…
Do you often (be honest) make decisions that “protect” you from the perceived downside risks of decisions; but, prevent you from truly experiencing “Amazing”, even if it’s only for an unknown window of time? (We know, very few things last forever.)
Since we use our Holistic-DMQ in making all decisions, I believe it’s worthwhile to mention as a refresher from previous blogs, the underlying competencies or “ingredients” that make-up our Holistic-DMQ; which include:
- DMQ–Base System;
- DMQ–Inner Circle;
- DMQ–Vision of Future Self;
- DMQ–Self-Sabotage;
- DMQ–Courage;
- DMQ–Heart; and,
- DMQ–Soul
- DMQ-Freewill
Let’s agree on the obvious… pain hurts!
Feel pain enough times and just as mice in a maze with electrical shocks associated with food, will choose to die, rather than keep getting shocked; we too will find ways to not get “shocked”.
Succinctly; this “medicine” I’ll share, is tough to swallow: learn to love getting shocked!
How can one learn to love getting shocked?
Easy… sort of! The other option is to feel the continuously “twisting knife of regret”, if you don’t pursue “Amazing” and choose to settle for “Good Enough”!
Shocks will become small, insignificant “pricks”, relative to the “twisting knife of regret”!
As you travel your unique journey in life:
- Optimize your: holistic potential professionally, personally and in the community!
- Minimize your regrets; especially the big ones… Get in the Game of Life and go for it!
- Increase your likelihood of success at “Amazing” by increasing your Holistic-DMQ!
- Love yourself enough to fail miserably while dying on your sword before quitting!
Life and decisions are a series of pie charts that
utilize your unique “ingredients” in your Holistic-DMQ!
.
Improve the “ingredients” and
you’ll improve the “product”… your life!
A simple, common example is how we often make key decisions in our personal lives that also affect our professional lives.
- We look to our DMQ-Base, DMQ-Heart, DMQ-Soul, etc., when we make a jugular decision.
- We arrive at our initial decision
- We then run our initial decision past our DMQ-Courage
- If we have enough courage to pursue “amazing”, kudos!
- If we don’t have enough courage,
- We run our decision past our DMQ-Freewill
- We make whatever decision we can live with while protecting our self-esteem through self-justification and support from our Inner-Circle-DMQ members that “affirm” our decision,
- We must then jettison away, those in our Inner-Circle who don’t “affirm” our decision.
Good stuff! Yes; this may be a little complex; but, we are extremely complex people!
