Normal v Brilliant - The difference is your VISION

Are you normal..?!?

It's interesting in a job where you deal constantly with people, no doubt about it. Most communicate, most have very similar physical attributes, most have had successes and most have had some sort of what they would describe as 'failngs or short comings' in their business lives. As a collective, this could be classed as 'normality'.

But what is normal?

To develop reasoning to substantiate 'what is normal' I propose to just take you back to school, only for a short while, but when you think about school, you'll remember how you and everyone else was 'graded' and sorted in alignment with their 'averages'. The average standard of learner in the year is 'x amount', the average marks for the year are x%, the average, the average, average.....yawn.

Makes you wonder why we continue into adult life and in most cases continue to churn out average results now doesn't it?

From a very young age lots of people have been programmed to shoot for average scores eg 7 out of 10. Remember back in school how getting lower than 7 was 'a bit below the mark' and getting over 7 was jumping into 'brainy or swot' territory. Those areas outside of the average sometimes felt 'uncomfortable' yet AVERAGE felt safe - no swot jokes, no 'thick' jokes just average. And it was a nice bracket to be in, back then, so if those young people were programmed to go for average, is it any wonder why exceptional performance or brilliance is so rare?

Still normal...?!?

Dependant on how open minded you are, how committed you are to appreciating that there are tools out there to increase your average score towards that borderline once known as 'swot territory' but now known in business as 'big profits' you might be interested in knowing that there methods af activating and utilising the 'grey matter' in different ways to get exceptional results.

Thinking differently, using your brain differently, activating preferred emotions for different contexts - is ALL possible in order to retune the way you think about your job, your performance in that job, the outcomes you'd get if you were to change and what you can gain by doing just that.

Don't be normal, be different! Use your head!

The most successful people on the planet, in the UK, in local regions and in online/offline communities like this one, all have a choice to make when deciding how high to set their personal bar. Do I stay the same, doing the same things or can I dare to be different?

Normal people opt for safety to make an easy jump and land safely but really know deep down they'd have made the jump anyway.

Some take a little risk, make the leap perfectly and then wish that they'd have aimed at going a little higher.

But the exceptional few, who set a high bar and maybe don't get over at the first attempt, need to take a few jumps, land awkwardly at first but look back up in the air and think "Wow, did I just do that?" are the ones who get the different results.

Have a vision

So what makes the difference? Planning, doing?

No. Firstly you must have a VISION. A vision of where you are going, a vision of who will be involved, a vision of how you are going to do it, a vision of what it will look like when you are ther achieving your goals a clear, clear vision. By thinking differently and visualising your outcomes happening provides you with the first steps to achieving results. Then you have to be thinking about your vision often - where is it that this outcome is going to happen? What will you look like once you've achieved it? Believe it or not, if you keep thinking like this, great things can happen.

If you have VISION, you are different. If you are different, you are being brilliant and if you are brilliant, you'll get results.

But how long does it take for this to happen? The answer is as quickly or as slowly as you want it to. You have the choice.
