Beyond the Peter Principle
Managing Emotions from a Larger Dynamic
By: Dr. Daniel F. Lavanga
An important part of business and life is managing and solving problems. How about if in this article I solve half of your problems for you? Sound too good to be true? Wondering how much it is going to cost? Well, I would love to charge for this bit of wisdom, but, if you read on you will get the skinny on the biggest obstacle that you face, YOU!
The entire human condition both the beauty and the beast in man can be traced at its core to human emotions. About half of the issues you will face are your own emotional creation. Wait you say, I am a consummate professional, mature, savvy about business, and measured in my approach to situations. That may be so, but in this article you will learn that even the most proficient professionals can avoid falling into a pit and step up to the next level with this information.
It is obvious that the failure to manage emotions in your professional or personal life increases the probability of failure. However, when it comes to emotions, knowing the way is not going the way! In fact, it is usually my clients with the highest level of intelligence that are most resistant to applying this wisdom.
So, what is it Dr. Dan, what is the secret to getting out of our own way? Drum roll please!!! The secret is called equilibrium, equilibration, or synchronicity. Biblically it has been expressed as the will of God being equilibrium, every mountain is leveled, and every valley is filled. So how does this principle work, what the heck does all this mean? To read on from here you must know that your entire world is about to be turned upside down and inside out!
Well first let’s assume you have it all together, you know your purpose, you’ve created a detailed mission statement to embody your vision, and you have a strategy in place to accomplish your goals. Next, what compels you to action, what takes you off on a tangent or pushes you into overwhelm? furthermore, why do want what you say you want? Whoa Doc, lots of questions here, I thought you were giving out the answers! Be patient grasshopper. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step, or as they say in the car biz, the first payment.
Throughout our lives we have judged people and events as good or bad, positive or negative according to OUR value system, right? The more a thing affects us emotionally, upsets us, excites us, or pushes a button, the bigger the subconscious impression. These emotional charges become imprinted into our minds as memories and imaginations, sometimes floating around and filling our heads with what is called brain noise. In addition, future decisions we make regarding similar people or events will be affected, sometimes jaded by these past events.
Have you ever experienced a terrible person or event and as time went on you discovered that something just the opposite, something truly terrific has taken place because of that person or event? It is no accident! In fact, through science we now have discovered that every person or event is FULL QUANTUM, meaning that both poles, positive and negative are present eternally, instantaneously in every person or event. There is no time lag except in our perception.
This means that every time you judge or have judged a person or event as good or bad, you were only half right. Both sides are present, yet, we act as if one is not. We allow it to make a deep impression on us, upset us, or excite us, fill our mind with brain noise, even dream states, and change forever the way we make decisions. It’s the lies we tell ourselves!
Imagine if you dare the implications! Imagine the missed opportunities due to preconceived notions and past remembrances. Imagine the loneliness of lost love and pain of lost finances due to lopsided or half thinking. Imagine how we pass these illusions on to the people we love the most! Some of you have quit already, some are saying bull crap and some are still brave enough to read on!
Imagine if you saw instantly, that the people and events that challenge you the most and tic you off are the very ones that give you the greatest lessons and move you the furthest forward. Would you try to avoid them in the future? Would you fear “negative” events or people? Would you appreciate their existence in your life and literally thank God for bringing them there? Trust me, that would be a liberating revelation! Would you monitor your emotional excitement or infatuation for a person, business opportunity, or event if you instantly saw the potential downsides? Could any of these save you time, energy, and money? Could they save your relationship with your spouse, children, employees, or business associates? Could wars be prevented by clear full quantum thinking?
Finally, genius has been called the instantaneous recognition that a crisis is a blessing and vice versa. Seeing FULL QUANTUM or equilibrium keeps rash lopsided judgments, brain noise, and overwhelm to a minimum. This in turn liberates at least half of the issues that cloud the individual mind and shade judgment. In some cases I have seen 90% of a person’s issues gone in minutes of completing the exercise to dissolve lopsided emotional judgments. They begin to see events with balanced, clear thinking, and remove self- imposed obstacles. If in fact you are still here and this information has piqued your interest. Send me an email for more information on the tool to make it happen.
Start today to question your judgments of people and events, and see if you can find the other side!
