The biggest effector of life

(If you are reading this via email, click on the title to see the full post.)

The biggest effector of life is religiously, to the hilt, using your highest brain to choose what is of the highest value before, and instead of, a lower value item.

It is bigger than all of the efficiency skills, earning skills, pride and looking good skills

Yes, we are thoughtlessly sucked into the demands of life, losing our perspective, and, accordingly, losing our power and our very ability to control and mold life into what we most desire.

Sad.  Very sad.

I see people flushing the greatest portion of their lives down the drain by simply choosing to not harvest that which is of greater value and instead putting in its place that which is of the lowest life value.   (Read Life Value - The Worth Of Your Life Is....)


You "simply" make a list of all of your highest values (screening them for validity!) and then make a list of activities that produce the highest value, medium value, and low/no value.  Then you stop doing anything that is of lower value than the highest value item you could, instead, do.  And you slash and burn all of the low value activities, as was one of my first steps in stepping up to the next level of life!   (Of course, there is a learning process here, but as you perfect it you'll find that you feel better and better and better in life - and hugely happier!)  See The Highest Value Activities In Life - Harvesting The Golden Eggs And Enabling The Golden Goose.

FOLLOWUP

Of course, you should read, or re-read, both of Stephen Covey's super-books, and follow them religiously, as if your life depended on it.  If you do not live this way, you are wasting a good portion (way, way too much) of your life.  Don't let this seem trite to you, just because you have "read" one or both of them.  This time actually "harvest" each of the recommendations and obvious things to do. Actually keep on going and going and going until you have gained what is of the highest value in the books.

First Things First (which is the biggest effector of all)

Oh, and incidentally, you must set aside and utilize the needed time, which is substantial but ultimately massively time saving and massively problem eliminating.  Those who think they can somehow miraculously understand and learn almost instantly without going through the necessary learning process are just "smoking grass" (living in illusion and, maybe, arrogance?).

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE HERE, KEITH!

"It seems to me that I recall you using "the greatest", "the biggest", "the most important" and similar terms on a few other things.  What's wrong with this picture!???!"

Well, it is more like the reality being that of making sure the key links in the chain are included in the chain of what you do in life.

For instance:

You can't choose to do what is of highest importance, if you haven't engaged your higher brain while alert and fresh.

And, of course, unless you free up enough time to be able to engage your higher brain in a highly functional state, you will not be able to make decisions since you will not have the time.  (Duh!)

And, of course, if you have unhealthy beliefs, you will be so distracted that you will not be able to free up the time nor be able to use the higher brain.

And then there is the "spiral effect", where you cannot cure your unhealthy beliefs if you do not have enough time and if you are distracted, which will cause you to not think clearly and be a poor time manager so that you in turn will not be able to have the time to identify and change your beliefs...which will then cause...and then ...and then... - and so on, into life oblivion, flushing life down the drain...
