When you look at money, what do you see?

By In Words, You

You’ve noticed that my posts on Thursday and Friday this week were missing, so I’m catching up on this Saturday and Sunday instead. The weekend are posting rest days for one like me, but rules are there to be broken, that’s what rules are for.

Today’s post is titled…

“When you look at money, what do you see?”

If you’re looking to see, you’re seeing as we speak that like everything else you have a word for and know, money is a word.

What does that make you feel, seeing that money is like everything — a word?

Even if you call it a dream, it doesn’t change a thing, including that you cannot trust any word, that you can trust only what you know of a word, and that money is no exception.

I learned, not about words but about trust, from Anthony de Mello’s book “Awakening: Conversations with the Masters”.

I learned myself that everything you know is a word. This is, unless you know of an exception, of course. Can you think of an exception, of anything you know that’s not a word? If so, please enter that thing in the comments below for everybody to see and be inspired by it in turn.

Money

You can think about it and…

  • Forget it and think about another word instead.
  • Wonder what it describes, and then find out how others describe money at Wikipedia Money – Wikipedia , or how it’s described by AI: “Money is a medium of exchange that is widely accepted in transactions for goods and services. It serves several key functions in an economy: 1. Medium of Exchange: Money facilitates trade by eliminating the inefficiencies of barter, where goods and services are exchanged directly. 2. Unit of Account: Money provides a standard measure of value, making it easier to compare the worth of different goods and services. 3. Store of Value: Money can be saved and retrieved in the future, maintaining its value over time, which allows individuals to save and plan for future expenses. Standard of Deferred Payment: Money is used to settle debts, allowing for agreements on future payments. Money can take various forms, including physical currency (coins and banknotes), digital currency (such as cryptocurrencies), and bank deposits. Its value is often derived from the trust and acceptance of the people using it, as well as government backing in the case of fiat currencies”, or describe it yourself, or feel what money makes you feel.

My favorites are the latter two.

When you describe money yourself, you dramatically increase your chances to remember it.

If you follow me on LinkedIn, you know I think that feelings ought to be on top your totem pole. Your feelings determine what you go after and what you avoid next, the results you’ll achieve, what the results will make you feel, and then the circle — well, you know that stuff — rinse and repeat, forever and a day.

TAKEAWAY

Feel, don’t think!

If you think what you see is true, it’s time to think again. If not now, then when?

By In Words, You

Together with feel, hear, smell, touch, and taste, see is part of the senses known as common, because we have them in common with the wordless animals (though many of the wordless animals have additional senses, too).

Seeing is among the complex senses because of the number of factors involved.

  • Nobody knows the difference between see, watch, and look. How can you watch and look and not see?
  • You’re looking words as we speak, yet you don’t see them for what they are.
  • When is the last time you thought of you as a word?
  • Our unique ways of seeing shape our understanding of words.
  • Seeing happens with the two eyes you can open and close, and with the third eye that stays open day and night, even in your sleep.
  • Dream, daydream, imagine, and optical illusions, to name a few.
  • You will never outgrow your self-image.
  • Everything you see is your perspective or opinion that sometimes is true and sometimes isn’t.
  • Everybody has their own truth, that is perhaps 9 billion truths in all, the number of word-users in the world.
  • Word-users that are unable to hear the music usually mistake those dancing for insane.
  • If you don’t understand what you see, go up to the control room to find it’s empty, that you’re the projectionist, and that you should have been up there from the start.
  • Art is not what you see but what artists make you see.
  • Don’t think: See.

A thinking model helps you decide what’s best for you.

By In Words, You

An outstanding thinking model knows that logic is based on the Greek logos.
Had logos been translated, it would now be wording and more English word-users would know what they’re doing.

What can be denied only by confirming it, is that every thought we think is a word — the word we’re about to say next (aloud or in self-talk makes no difference).

An outstanding thinking model understands that thinking is wording — as opposed to what the smartphones want you to believe, such as thoughtful, thinkingly, non-thinking, logic, rational, reasonable, reflective, and other such poop.

It follows that an outstanding thinking model simplifies words and helps you decide what’s best for you in all aspects — your health, relationships (including with words), work, business, money, and investing.

Unless you read this post by mistake, you want to you arrive somewhere on purpose, safe from decisions that will rob you of your dreams, as opposed to nowhere on no dreams.

Your journey from first to last breath — that everybody’s on —  is contrary to popular belief not a 100-meter dash, but a marathon that you you’ll never know how short or long it’ll last before it’s done and over with.

Your resources for that journey, everyone’s resources, are energy and time. Energy is variable, under your control, to each their own. Time is 24 hours a day, outwith your control, identical for everything.

There’s an extra resource for us, the word-users,  words. However, most word-users experience their thoughts as separate from words, in an attempt to achieve peace of mind. Because the pursuit of peace of mind is difficult when everybody tries to survive under a daily avalanche  of words, also known as information overload.

As a single footstep will not make a path, so a single word will not condition a brain. To condition your brain, as opposed to having it conditioned by others for you, you must think of the words you want to dominate your experience.

You cannot directly control circumstances, but you can decide words, thereby indirectly shaping your circumstances. When words are used, they become energy, and in the end, your journey is the result of the energy and words you use all day long.

Words rule the world. Whether you like it or not. In the beginning is the word. There’s nothing you can do about it, except change your words and you change your world.

An outstanding thinking model emphasizes managing words and energy over time. Energy and words are the key to high performance and personal renewal, to prevent burnout and improve productivity.

To provide this outstanding thinking model, I’m delighted to announce that I’m working on THE SIMPLE METHOD, a proprietary product inspired by the above. As you’d expect from the book’s title, it’ll come complete with the outstanding thinking model.

Until THE SIMPLE METHOD can be bought, I intend to share with all of you, on LinkedIn and in the weeks ahead, bits and pieces of THE SIMPLE METHOD.

4 lessons to apply:

  1. Don’t miss a beat. Stay tuned.
  2. Don’t see everything through words. How? Read “Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?” at https://go.schindlersword.com/piUOT0
  3. You recreate energy (that you control), not time (that you do not control).
  4. Get ready for THE SIMPLE METHOD.

Word-users that achieve their vision don’t have anything you couldn’t have too.

By In Words, You

The word-users that achieve their vision know that vision is no different to every other word they have a word for, defeat the odds, keep going when the going gets tough, which it will, become famous eventually, and don’t have anything you couldn’t have, too.

The only thing they have, but you could have too, is a dream taken seriously, also known as a vision.

A vision is nothing more than a dream taken seriously, hence written down so it’s remembered until achieved, which may take years and possibly to the end of their days. Until that time, they just keep showing up while expecting miracles to happen long after those without a vision got practical, and instead of paying the bulk of their attention on the what to achieve, got busy with the cursed how.

Would you build a house without first committing your dream house to paper? Of course you wouldn’t.

Taking your dream seriously, also known as visioneering, eliminates the shouldhaves, couldhaves, wouldhaves, and what-ifs. At the same time, it also allows you to preview your vision achieved, increases your willingness to trust the builders when you’re not there in person, and has you guided by your vision as opposed to guided by mood swings.

But having a dream taken seriously, meaning a vision, isn’t enough, if on top of that you don’t also expect miracles.
If you don’t expect miracles, perhaps you have forgotten you are one.

Albert Einstein, knowing a thing or two about vision, used to say “There are only two ways to live your life, one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Here comes a miracle now.

Don’t be like the frog kissed by the princess that shouted “I’m not ready!”
