Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Being Out of Order "

Did you know that, in at least one way, you're at your best when your system is

out of order?

Now by " Out of Order " I mean when your mental picture of how things should

be is very different from how things actually are. Human beings are always

striving for order, and when our mental picture of how things should be

matches reality, we feel comfortable and in control. But what happens when

they don't match? What happens when our mental picture of, say, the car we

drive is thrown out of order by an accident? Or our picture of how we make

our living is thrown out of order by a sudden layoff?

Well, what happens is that we create inside ourselves a tremendous amount of

drive and energy to restore order, to make our inner picture and reality

once again match. We feel highly motivated to get that car repaired, to get

a new job, to do whatever is required to set things right.

Once order is restored, the drive and energy turn off because they are no

longer needed. This is exactly how goal-setting works. When you set a goal

and systematically visualize the end-result, you throw your system out of

order. That creates the drive and energy to change reality so that it

matches the picture you have been visualizing.

That is why it's important to set goals continuously, so you won't arrive at

your desired end-result and then go flat because your energy just up and

drove away.
