What do Jan Hus, Frederick Douglass, Marie Curie, Margaret E. Knight, Maria Beasley, Grace Hopper, Virginia Apgar, Virginia Wolf, and Hedy Lamarr, all have in common?

They all changed the game in their respective fields by innovating or revolutionizing something: faith independent from the Catholic Church, African American Civil Rights, radioactivity, the paper bag, the life raft, the first computer compiler, the Apgar Score, women’s equality, and the capability of “frequency hopping,” which could encrypt torpedo control signals and provided the foundation for GPS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi technology.

Game changers in the world

A lot of you reading this are game changers in your own right.

You are changing the way people think, changing the conversation, innovating new technologies, changing the way business is done, or changing generational patterns that have been handed down to you.

It’s quite impressive, actually.

I hope you can take it in and take stock of just how powerful you are and how meaningful the impact is that you are making in the world.

Internal game changers

And I know that each of you have things going on personally or professionally that weigh on you.

There is likely one area that, if you were to make a small shift, it would change the game for you.

So I invite you to take a breath, and think about that problem or challenge or obstacle you are facing.

1. First, ask yourself, “is this a real problem or a recurring problem?’

You see, a lot of the time, we think our problems are real, when really they are recurring.

You have created the perfect system to get your results. So if you continue to experience the same problem over and over, it is because you have the perfect system to create this problem.

If this lands for you, you’ve just received all the insight you need. You have your game changing insight. Now go implement it.

2. If you’re still reading, take another breath.

What insight could you have if you were to slow down enough to be still, or go for a walk, or look up at the clouds?

Allowing your conscious mind to rest is what allows the unconscious mind to get to work and produce an intuitive knowing or deliver a thought that you hadn’t been able to come up with before.

3. Lastly, what are you not seeing?

You may be too close to the problem.

Try stepping away to reflect, or invite others in to offer a new perspective.

If you need a game changing insight, try these suggestions, or reply to this e-mail and let’s set up a time to talk.

Love,
