050: Jeff Heggie’s Daily Success Strategies – This Is Water

There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”

- David Foster Wallace

We are often oblivious to what is around us, what’s directly in front of our face.

In a world where so much has happened in recent months I believe it’s more important than ever to try to be more aware of what is happening, or even what possibly may have happened.

We are quick to judge but often don’t know anything about the person we are judging. The “Man on the Subway” story from Stephen Covey shows us how we can have a complete paradigm shift once we hear a person’s story.

“I remember a mini-paradigm shift I experienced one Sunday morning on a subway in New York. People were sitting quietly – some reading newspapers, some lost in thought, some resting with their eyes closed. It was a calm, peaceful scene.

Then suddenly, a man and his children entered the subway car. The children were so loud and rambunctious that instantly the whole climate changed.

The man sat down next to me and closed his eyes, apparently oblivious to the situation. The children were yelling back and forth, throwing things, even grabbing people’s papers. It was very disturbing. And yet, the man sitting next to me did nothing.

The man lifted his gaze as if to come to a consciousness of the situation for the first time and said softly, “Oh, you’re right. I guess I should do something about it. We just came from the hospital where their mother died about an hour ago. I don’t know what do think, and I guess they don’t know who to handle it either.”

Can you imagine what I felt at that moment? My paradigm shifted. Suddenly I saw things differently, and because I saw differently, I thought differently, I felt differently, I behaved differently. My irritation vanished. I didn’t have to worry about controlling my attitude or my behavior; my heart was filled with the man’s pain. Feelings of sympathy and compassion flowed freely. “Your wife just died? Oh I’m so sorry! Can you tell me about it? What can I do to help?” Everything changed in an instant.”

Episode 048: Why Me?

At the “Turn Your Fear Into Fuel” Summit I spoke on the importance and impact of your self-talk and the habitual questions you are asking yourself.

People often will use the excuse that they are going through rough times and they “deserve” to be thinking and talking negative because life is negative.

In my training I used the example of Sean Stephenson. Listen to this episode as I tell his story and explain why he had every reason to have a negative attitude, but he chose to look for the positive.

Rather than asking, “why me?” He asked, “How can I use my situation to help and serve others?”

I also talk about a TedX talk that Sean presented at. You can see that talk here: https://youtu.be/VaRO5-V1uK0

Jeff Heggie Daily Success Strategies Episode 044: The Power of Focus  

Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) is a filter that helps your brain know what information is important and that you should focus on. In this episode I discuss how the things we focus on and the questions we ask ourselves activate the RAS and help us to find the answers and solutions we are searching for.

Episode 043: Hope Is More Powerful Than Fear  

In uncertain and difficult times you have to maintain hope. Even when bad things happen, we have to remain hopeful for the future.   

Being hopeful isn't being ignorant to reality, but losing hope will not help us arrive at our bigger future.
