the Black and White Farm"©

The day was bright and sunny.
I was taking a drive with my daughter and we stopped in for
ice cream at a farm with a petting zoo. I looked at the interesting
animals around and a pattern struck me. I noticed the rabbits
and the chickens were a unique breed of black and white varieties
with full feathers or patterned fur - and then it hit me.
I want a Black and White Farm!
A tourist attraction/petting zoo complete with all black and
white animals!
Is this a great idea?
Yes, for someone this is a great idea - but is this idea for
me?
Readers of The Wave Riders book are learning to call these
idea sessions that come complete with a fully layout and details,
"Wave Rides" and they used to be a problem for me.
Before I learned what a "Wave
Ride" is I would hear myself say,
This is it!
This is the thing that will make me rich!
This is "my ship coming in.
I would spend countless hours, dollars and energy "working
out all of the details" to get this incredible idea started
before I stopped to ask that question,"Is this idea for me"?
Wave Riders have an ability
to tap into universal ideas that can flow through our mind
like cloud bursts of knowledge. Sometimes referred to as the
"flight of ideas", each idea appearing as "great"
when in reality some are great and some are not so great.
A reader once decided that gathering
a group of people outside a potential employer's place of
business to show how her popularity was a good idea. Surely,
the potential employer would see what an asset she was. Somehow
in her mind she thought that if she could show she was linked
to a lot of people who might come into make a purchase that
this would get her the job when in reality, this idea has
an even greater chance of scaring off the potential employer.
This type of "acting on this idea" behavior is often
a sign that we are currently "out of balance" and
being influenced by the adrenaline chemicals flooding our
body. It may also, be a sign of borderline personality disorder...where
a person does not see the boundaries clearly and justifies
the thinking as innovative without consideration of the potential
consequences.
How many times have you had
a great idea or been offered something that "would make you
rich" only to find out that you wasted your time and money?
Eventually, you come to the
conclusion that you will never succeed. You may even decide
that it is too dangerous to even try. Why get excited if it
will only end in depression?
The good news is you are not a failure!
What you failed to do was to
allow yourself to come back to "middle ground" before getting
involved and before "buying the land for the farm" and stocking
in full of black and white animals ( I still want to do this
by the way ha ha ).
When you are on a high-energy
wave - it is like the "fight or flight" responses designed
to help you to either "run from the tiger" or "fight the tiger".
When this adrenaline is released into our bodies we see ideas
faster and clearer because it is beneficial to do so if you
are running from a tiger. You need those quick flowing ideas
to escape and to survive.
You have tapped into the pool of solutions and innovations.
You do not have to react to them.
Just because you "caught
a good idea" does not mean that you have to implement
them and in fact, implementing them will very likely bring
you to financial and emotional ruin, destroying your relationships
and your self-confidence. This also goes for the idea to purchase
something when you are on a "high wave" because
it seems like a good idea.
Some people say "I don't go
up" anymore and often this is because they are too afraid
to. This defeated attitude is a normal response to constant
failure of the "make it rich" stinking thinking.
The really good news is…you
do not have to repeat the failure process and if you wait
long enough to analyze the potential of the idea for you in
particular, then you might just have "staying power". Enough
staying power to make it all the way to success and beyond.
When you chose ideas or items,
while on the mid-wave of energy, ( your true self level)
and not from the you that is pushed by adrenaline or depression,
you will make better choices for you. You will choose that
which excites you on a regular basis not just for the
short term. This idea will excite you even when you feel low.
With this "right for me thinking" you can sustain your enthusiasm
all the way to success, rather than hear those same old words
half way to the finish line: "why did I do this?", "I don't'
want to do this anymore", "I must be crazy to keep getting
myself into these investments, multilevel marketing schemes,
business, jobs, volunteer situations and relationships".
So, what do you do when those
ideas are flooding in?
Readers of The Wave Riders book know to react in the
following ways:
- Understand that the
flight of ideas and fast breathing is an indication that
adrenaline has entered your body and you are either on a
high-energy Wave Ride or you are about to go there.
- Stop and take deep and
slow breaths in and out until you calm the flow down.
Focus on your heart rate and feel it slow down.
- Write the idea down in point
form ONLY - no details(or you'll waste your time) -
don't worry you won't lose the details they are fully photographed
inside your mind.
- Walk away from the idea.
If you are being pressed for a decision say, "Let me get
back to you".
- Say nothing more-
bite your tongue if you have to. Saying anything now will
likely get you "involved". You are a natural salesperson
and can sell anything. You must not say anything at this
time as it will be influenced by the view from the top and
is not real. You may make a commitment that you cannot or
do not want to keep.
- Wait until you are
down from the excitement or wait until you are a bit low
and see if that same idea appeals to you. Long lived opportunity
will not disappear but will remain for you to decide with
a clear mind. It may take awhile for you to really be at
a level to make this decision, especially if you are already
out of balance (working too hard etc). Stall as long as
you can until you can really see that it is not going to
be the wrong place for you to invest your time, your resources,
your emotions and your energy.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Breathe deep and take care
