Accurate thinking.

Hi, I'm Brian Pombo. Welcome back to Brian J Pombo. Live. Napoleon Hill is a very famous writer from way, way back in the day, wrote, Think and Grow Rich and a whole lot of other classic early books in the field of self-development.

One of the principles he talks about that a lot of people don't give much attention to is the concept of accurate thinking. And the reason why I'm bringing this up is that I was having a great conversation with some folks tonight that we're all here in Oregon, we are in the midst of the election season.

So they have the primary election, which is the early election, part of the here when candidates are running against each other in their own party.

When you have nonpartisan races, they may have large amounts of groups of people running at the same time, for example, the governor field is just covered.

I mean, I think there are 25 candidates out of the two major parties, that Republicans alone have 20 Different people running for governor that are on the ballot, okay, let alone those who didn't make the ballot and are trying to get written in and all that stuff.

It's pretty amazing to see all this crazy stuff happening when you look at it from a certain perspective. But one of the things that I've found with grassroots, I've worked a lot with grassroots political organizers through the years.

And one thing I've found is that it's really easy to miss the forest for the trees. And here's what I mean, it's really easy to get caught up in the motion and the movement, and the feeling like you're doing something or the desire to get something done to do something.

It's not very often that people sit back and say, Okay, well, what are we actually doing?

You know, what have we actually accomplished?

What we set out to accomplish?

Do we actually are we all actually on the same team in terms of what we're looking to accomplish and all these people I'm working with?

When you're when you do that, it's not just something that you do once you have to do it all the time, you have to step back and say, are we accomplishing what we want to now this is just isn't a political thing.

This just happens to be the situation tonight but I see it all the time at business also.

This is even worse because you're dealing with the same people who actually should know better. But when you're in the midst of that, you know, daily hurricane, of just all the stuff you normally have to deal with, and then all the stuff that is coming up recently, and then all the stuff that's gotten left behind, and you get mixed up and all that garbage of the day to day, when it comes to goals and priorities, and really sitting down most of us do not take the time to sit down and say okay, what did we want to do at the beginning of the month?

Where are we now and how can we change that?

So we don't have the same thing happening next month. This is rare to happen. It's rare that someone will take the time to do that. If they do, it's usually mixed in with a whole bunch of emotion and a whole bunch of other garbage that doesn't clear things up.

It just makes more tension between personalities and sexes and everything else, you know, it gets crazy. And I understand if you're in that mess, I understand.

You got to realize that everyone's in that mess...
