We have all heard the addages: history will repeat itself, what we resist will persist, etc..
I believe that putting the past into the future, will not create the environment for us to bring forward the best of ourselves, with one exception. We can always make the decision to bring the best of the past forward.
I have put a 1.42 minute clip to describe this, and while it is excellent, he doesn’t show us how to do this.
First we start by using Permanent and Pervasive language about ourselves, in our minds and in our conversations and therefore in our very biology. (It becomes as Bruce Lipton calls it, the Biology of Belief, http://www.brucelipton.com/store/biology-of-belief.)
When we do this in our business it becomes our organizational culture.
In other words, we think and say “I always….” or “I tend to…” or “you never…” and right there we have misfiled the past into the future. When we create our future we will want it to be uncontaminated with permanent and pervasive language.

Just for today, what are the thoughts and the language I will embrace so I can bring my highest self forward?
If I don’t understand something, just add “as of yet.” (ie. I don’t understand how to do use this technology, as of yet.) Or delete the words “but” and “I’m busy” from conversation.
How will I hold myself accountable to playing this bigger game?
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
