An idiom is a phrase that typically presents a figurative non-literal meaning. Idioms of which there are thousands of examples, are essentially a formulaic way of making it easier to communicate. However, there may be real danger in negative idioms such as, “I don’t know” and “I can’t”, because they program the brain over time to stop trying to be inquisitive, resourceful and ultimately serve to dumb us down and steal our confidence to learn and grow new and exciting brain wirings.

It’s so easy to “blame” talent for the success we see in others because it makes it easy for us to blame our lack of giftedness as a reason for failure. The truth however, is that talent alone is very rarely the sole factor behind success. In fact, when studying successful people who appear to be talented you’ll tend to find that the majority of them were really just persistent and determined to reach the goal that they had firmly decided upon.

There’s a natural tendency to assume we know what other people are thinking based on the actions we see them take. However, when we do this we tend to fill in the blanks with our own assumptions and fillers that are often negative and before you know it we’ve created adversaries where they may not have been any. The best solution is to start asking people what they’re thinking and how they’re feeling about something so that we know without having to assume. In turn we can be more effective in producing positive outcomes by resolving real issues rather than creating unnecessary problems.

Although we have big goals that we really want, we often find ourselves stricken by overwhelm because when we begin to learn the new concepts we’ll need to master to grow we can’t imagine how we’ll be able to do all the work required. The fastest way to overcome this dilemma is to accept the fact that there are other people who have special talents and knowledge that can leverage us if we could only just accept the help.

In the body of work we’ve come to know as self-development we are often confronted with the concept of falling into our comfort which can take on a negative connotation and become a self-defeating limitation. However, if we consider the work we did to find our current zone and learn that it came from seeking and learning new causes and effects then we can turn that process into an asset for constant and never ending improvement.

The statement, “Show me how you measure me and I’ll show you how I behave.” Is a stunning reminder of how overly concerned we might be to fit in. The eye-opening moment comes when we realize that we are modifying our own behavior and desires to please other people who measure us their way so that we can fit into their mold and not our own…so it’s time to be true to our authentic self and measure against our own standard.
