StevePavlina.com Personal Development for Smart People podcast #11
Today’s podcast is called “Raising Awareness Through Multiple Perspectives.” The goal of this podcast is to help you answer the question, “How shall I live my life?” The present conditions of your life probably won’t give you enough clarity to provide an ideal answer straightaway. At best your answer will be fuzzy and uncertain, if you can even come up with an intelligent answer at all.
By using your imagination to look at your life from other perspectives in both time and space, you can gain tremendous clarity. You will see how your life looks from different angles. Sometimes an answer that looks good from your present situation will look foolish from another angle. As you use this process to eliminate the wrong answers, eventually you’re left with only a few candidates that pass the test of satisfying every conceivable perspective.
This exercise should be particularly helpful for those of you who just can’t decide what to do with your life as well as those whose answer seems to change haphazardly year after year with no rhyme or reason.

I knew of him and saw him on his messageboard was a game designer, at Dexterity, but it wasn’t until he started from stratch with a new idea to bring excellence to self-development that I started taking interest in him.

[...] As you fully understand your situation from your point of view, look at it from different perspectives. How do you think another people are regarding this situation? How your pet could possibly think at your problem. What about a bird? A stream? A mountain? It could be difficult at first to transform your mind in this way, but I obey it will be both fruitful and amazing experience. If you do not like to change your shape, look at the situation from another time perspective. How you threat a situation if you were 5 years younger? will it be a really problem tomorrow? In a week? In decade? All these question will give you more strong understanding of what really take place. You can get even more information about this technique from Steve Pavlina podcast “Raising Awareness Through Multiple Perspectives“. After your current state observing, ask yourself, “could I do something in order to change the situation?”. If answer is no, you are lucky one: all you have to do starting from now is to live. You could not change the situation and you want to live to the full, so just go ahead! Since then anxiety, complaints, resistance are all in vain. But if you strongly believe that it is in your area of influence to change this situation, it is time to find out what could be better in it. Describe for yourself your ideal picture. What will be your life if everything is not just OK, but an incredible perfect? You do not need just to keep up with the Joneses, create picture which is pure ecstasy for you. And if you are expecting really important and significant life changes, carry on and write down your ideal picture. You will want to refer to this notes on the way. [...]
