The way to solve anything in life is...as simple as ABC...


We discussed the sure way not to succeed in life (stopping short of harvesting the desired result).  Well, part and parcel to that, and essential for the process of succeeding in life, is "having an effective way to get the result".  Duh!  

This post is about that, and about the book you should read (buy it or get a free download of it).  

It turns out, also, that the process for success is the same as the process for all problem solving - we are merely closing the gap between where life is now and where we want a particular part of life to be.

The way to solve everything in life is...


Every problem has a cause.  Most often it has a whole chain of things that have led to, or caused, the undesired end result.  An undesired end result is a problem since we want to be at some other, desired end result.  While by a problem we mean undesired result which we are unhappy about, a problem can be simply deciding to close a gap.  It could be designing something now so that we do not incur a problem in the future - that is solving the problem before the problem so that you don't have the problem.  

Gap closing is only done one way...through a series of steps....  All results in the universe happen through a series of steps (the whole of any one process to produce an end result is called a "system"). 

All of life occurs this way:

A → B → C Result

So, if you get a bad result, there is something wrong with one of the steps in the sequence. Correct it to what works as soon as possible. Successful people (and champion athletes) make sure they do it all the time every time and in a short time.

A possible knee jerk response here might be:  "But I don't want to be an egghead and do this scientific analysis and problem solving!" 

Well, guess what!  You don't have another choice if you want to have no problems - you have to do "the process".  

And it doesn't take any more smarts than you currently have.  

Sam Carpenter writes: "If I had to condense it to one sentence, I'd say that managing your life effectively - and getting it to to be the way you want it to be - is not a difficult thing to accomplish once the simple mechanics of life are grasped."  (See on this site: Super-Principle: It's All Completely Mechanical - Know This To Make Life Easier And To Be Much More Effective.)

(This is also part of "self control" beyond the struggle with "conflicting needs" - it is part of what you need in order to gain control over life and to gain control over the conflicting needs - if you don't know what they are and how they came about, you cannot solve them and you'll always be a victim of life.)  

To not be a victim, you have to be a problem solver - it is THE PATH to happiness and the way to stop being on the wrong path...

The way to approach this is always to "look at the pieces of the system" and then fix them (or anticipate ahead of time what would work).  

Tony Robbins and Sam Carpenter agree (paraphrased) - "You must know every detail in the process before you can solve or do anything, Random doesn't do it!!!!!!  Hope doesn't do it!!!  Piecemeal or partial doesn't do it!!!"

Read, and heed, The Systems Mindset (link to Amazon), by Sam Carpenter.  Either buy the book   and/or get the free download.   This book is the #1 book to read on my The Most Powerful Life Books Of All list.

Please don't leave this book until you have fully harvested it.  (Don't just go onto the next book that gives you entertainment, superficial knowledge, and/or hope, etc.)

Meanwhile, read these:

Now, I am reminded, in writing The Self Control Book, that I need to pull together all the various pieces, partial analysis, journal notes into a complete picture of the steps in the system that get me to do the diversion instead of what is actually the best thing to do.  Of course, part of it lies in the fallacious "internal conversations" that lead the emotional system to fire off the chemicals that create the action that creates the bad or inferior results - that I do not want to have happen.  And it is imperative, if I want to have the next highest and the highest levels of life, that I lay out and correct all of the key diversions/conflicts that get in the way...
