THE FOUR LEVELS OF THINKING

RESOURCEFUL

LEVEL 1

It feels good

AND…

- It’s good for me

- It’s good for others

- It’s good for the greater good (work, home, community, planet)

You’re doing great, so keep at it.

LEVEL 2

It doesn’t feel good

BUT…

- It’s good for me

- It’s good for others

- It’s good for the greater good (work, home, community, planet)

You’re doing great, so keep at it.

UNRESOURCEFUL

LEVEL 3

It feels good

BUT…

- It isn’t good for me

- It isn’t good for others

- It isn’t good for the greater good (work, home, community, planet)

You’re at a point where you can make a change easily, by moving to LEVEL 2. Or, if you continue at this level, you’ll end up in LEVEL 4.

LEVEL 4

It doesn’t feel good

AND…

- It isn’t good for me

- It isn’t good for others

- It isn’t good for the greater good (work, home, community, planet)

Here change is difficult and may seem impossible. Often the best solution is to simply move away from it. Eg. if you’re in an unhealthy relationship, a job that’s not helping you progress. Simply by taking the plunge puts you immediately into LEVEL 2. It will be uncomfortable, you won’t feel good, BUT it’s good for you, others, and the greater good.
