Be Strategic

Be strategic.

When strategies are designed and laid in advanced it's surprising how often the circumstances will fit in with them. This is the future thinking and the future design that is a strategy.

When you have a clear vision of what you want, you're well placed to create the circumstances and situations that support your vision. A strategy is something that could span many, many years. It may be a lifetime.

Are you being strategic?

 

Goals

Goals

The innate wisdom within you is constantly seeking to grow and flourish. Goal setting's an important life skill that is part of the expression of this wisdom.

Do you have it nailed?

You are like a heat-seeking missile. Your innate wisdom is there to keep you on track. It's there to proliferate, to grow, to allow you to be the best version of yourself.

You are here to flourish and you have a frontal brain to make that happen.

Outcomes

Outcomes Empower Your Journey.

An outcome is often confused with a goal. They can be used interchangeably too, so I want to make this distinction to start with. An outcome, in this discussion, is a direction that you're going. A goal is a specific, tangible point that you're going to.

An outcome is based on the overriding purpose and the why, the big why of why you're doing what you're doing, and that is uncovered and discovered as you go through an intellectual dissection of life and what is so for you.

Your outcomes are how you're going to take your purpose and keep track of it in the most efficacious way.

Let's investigate your outcomes.

Philosophy. Do you really need it?

Philosophy - Do You Really Need It?

Throughout history, people have searched for the meaning of life. This has resulted in separation, division, wars, hardship, religions, polarised governments and so on.

Every person on this planet has a philosophy including you.

Your philosophy includes everything in your world-view. Philosophy as a way of thinking ABOUT something. Regardless of how strongly people deny the illusion that they're not philosophically driven, they do have a philosophy, and in fact, that statement is an expression of their philosophy.

Philosophy is not some hallucination or dream, it's a logical process driven by the interaction between the quadrant one and quadrant two, these two opposing parts.

 

The Journey

The Journey.

You are who you are as a result of the identity that you've created for yourself so far. Consider that you maybe don't even have full volition in some areas of your life.

It's rather daunting, isn't it? This podcast takes a look at your journey to now and beyond.

the in8model Quadrant 4

The information on any given topic, subject, event, occasion or circumstance passes from Quadrant 1. through Quadrant two, through Quadrant three and through to Quadrant 4. As you may recall the Quadrant 4. and Quadrant 1. share the frontal areas of the brain. This area loves big picture thinking.

The Quadrant 4 is the home of the intuitive mind and it's always looking to reinvent things. It will say, "What else? And what if we did this? What if we did that? What else could we do? How could we improve this particular situation, this product?" It will intervene in any situation that's a bit stayed or a bit ordinary and break it, and create a new form for it. It loves to see things can go to a new level. It's experiential and impulsive and wants to do things NOW.

The Quadrant 4. part just says, "Hey, let's just get on with it. Let's not just sit around talking about it, let's do it."

 

the in8model Quadrant 3

Quadrant 3.

The Quadrant 1 creates a big idea and the Quadrant 2 makes sense of it and looks at any dangers that may be within it, relative to the past. Once it's sorted it out and got into policy and procedure and understands how it can work then it passes it through into the Quadrant 3 part.

The Quadrant 3 part is the right basilar part of the brain. The Quadrant 3 is the area that applies makes use of and finds solutions for the 'problems' discovered by the Quadrant 2. It's there to ask the question how, how can I do this? How can I make this happen? It's willing to apply itself with tremendous hard work to get it done. It's a laborer, it's the artisan. It's the part of us that just loves to take on a challenge and solve the problem. It will ask more than it tells. It asks lots of questions and it listens more than it talks.

Let's explore the Quadrant 3 part.

 

the in8model Quadrant 2

Quadrant 2.

Quadrant 2 is the left back part of the brain. This is this area that looks at very fine detail. It wants order and structure. Like the Quadrant 1's organ connection is to the heart, the Quadrant 2 part is connected with the cerebral, thinking part of the brain. When we're using the Quadrant 2 part, we're using our brain's computations based on known 'facts' from the past.

It's a learned brain. It's the brain that goes after content, it goes after detail, it wants to know 'WHAT'. It's the part of the brain that's always seeking the information associated with a current idea. It wants a qualification. It asks, "What is the evidence?"

 

the in8model Quadrant 1

Today we're going be talking about Quadrant 1.
Now as we discussed in a previous podcast, the brain is divided into four quadrants, looking down from the top of the person. What science now tells us is that when the neurons or nerve cells in our body and our brain fire together they wire together to create habits.

This means that the more we do something, the more we do it.

We have four quadrants with 2 on the left (front and back brain) and 2 on the right (back and front brain). I want to give a brief description of each of them in order.

So today we will have a look at Quadrant 1.

About the in8model

It could be said that we come into this life as a blank slate, but that's not obviously true. We have a whole package of information that's encoded within us, within our DNA from our heritage, from our history, from the journey of whatever has gone before us that has been recorded and lodged.

So what we have then is certain predispositions and certain memories that may even play out when currently stimulated. The environment that we are in has a huge part to play in the way that we form as an embryo and the way that we develop as a child through into teenagehood and through into the adult that we will ultimately become.
How does that work? What is the structure of that? And if the brain is a storage mechanism or a mechanism for recording information, then what are the structures of the brain that allow for certain information to be stored in certain areas and others in other areas?

Let's dive into that at a level that's understandable for the average person. I mean, it's not heavy duty science here.
