" LICS YOUR PROBLEMS WITHOUT USING YOUR TONGUE " by G.O. BLANSON

Well, there I go again, I just love playing on /with Words,Lol . "RAISE YOUR HAND" if you have or had a problem in the past two weeks.Well, looks like just about everyone has had one, if not two or three of those bad boys.Well, in this article , I am going to share a simple formula that a friend shared with me a few years ago. It's called the"LICS IT FORMULA." By the way," LICS " is an acronym for Locate, Isolate, Confirm, and lastly , Solve. My friend told me that this Formula can help you with just about any problem you face. Now, I bet you all want to know just how the " LICS FORMULA " works, don't you. Well, it's pretty simple.First, you are to " LOCATE " the problem. Therefore,you should get a pen and paper and write down the main facts about what you believe the problem be. Write down information such as why is it a problem, what is the problem about,who is the problem with,what can you do about it ,do I want to deal with it now, can you let someone else solve it for you, and so on. If you have decided that you want to deal with this problem on your own, use the answers that you came up with and move on to the next part of the formula. This part of the formula is the " ISOLATE " part. Do you know that many times, you can downsize a problem, just by looking at it in a different way.The way you " ISOLATE " the problem is by asking yourself," Why is this a problem ?" Once again, using pen and paper, write down several reasons you feel that this is a problem.After you have finished writing your reasons, go over your reasons and see if you still think that this is a problem or not. Sometimes, you will decide that this isn't actually a real problem at all.Or, you may come up with a way of handling it to where it is no longer a problem[ sometimes, you don't have to go through all of the STEPS of the " LICS FORMULA ." ] If you still believe that you have a problem,continue on to the next part of the formula, which is " CONFIRM." Now that you have " LOCATED " the problem and " ISOLATED " it, it's time to " CONFIRM " the things that you have " LOCATED " and " ISOLATED " as being the problem at hand. Using the information you came up with in the " LOCATE " and " ISOLATE " parts of the formula, make a firm decision that this is exactly the problem that need to be solved. Ooooooops, I just gave you the last part of the formula, Lol Yes, the last part of the formula is " SOLVE ." Again. using the information collected in the three previous parts of the formula, " LOCATE,ISOLATE, and CONFIRM ," choose a " SOLUTION " to solve this problem, in a way that is a " WIN,WIN,WIN " for everyone involved ! ( NOTE : You are free you use Tai Lopez's " RAPID BRAIN-STORMING " Technique that I will talk about in the example below,if you can understand it ) Example : Let's say you have a problem getting your money to last from one payday to the next. First, you " locate " the problem. Get a pen and paper and write down the main facts : your money never lasts to the next payday ; your bills to income ratio is off, you aren't earning enough money.[you located the problem as not earning enough money ] Next, you " isolate " the problem.Remember,asking yourself why it's a problem is a great way to accomplish this task.( you have isolated the problem ; it's a problem,because you have to rob Peter to pay Paul ) . Now that you have " LOCATED and ISOLATED " the problem, move on to the neat step , which is to " CONFIRM " the problem. Review the information from the previous two parts[ Not enough money to last from payday to payday, and have to rob Peter to pay Paul ].This information " CONFIRMS " the " REAL PROBLEM " { that you are not earning enough money } . Finally, we are down to the last part, solving the problem, and thankfully, there are always more than one way to " SOLVE " any problem. { About a month or so ago, I came across a Tai Lopez video.In the video, he said," It's sad that a " CHILD " can go through 12 years of public schooling and never get taught the " PROPER " way to " BRAINSTORM " a " PROBLEM! }.Please CLICK on this LINK to view the Tai Lopez BRAIN_STORMING VIDEO : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv7P_dKxy3s&t=186s Ok, let's wrap this puppy up ! In order to complete the last part of the formula, which is to " SOLVE " the problem. We will use the " TECHNIQUE " called " RAPID BRAIN-STORMING. The RAPID BRAIN-STORMING technique is where you get a pen and paper and a timer. For ten whole minutes, you are going to " WRITE DOWN " as many possible " SOLUTIONS " that you can think of . After the ten minutes have expired, choose a " SOLUTION " from your list that's a " WIN,WIN,WIN SOLUTION " for everyone involved ! I hope that this article will help you, and please don't forget to go to FACEBOOK and like my page: https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blans on-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard

" GOODBYE TO YOUR BIG BUT " - by G.O. BLANSON

Is there anything BIGGER THAN a " BIG BUT ?" One of the books on my list of books to read in 2017 is " The Magic of Thinking Big ," by David J. Schwartz. It may even be the reason for the title of this article and the comment that came before this sentence,Lol . Ok, I have something to confess. I purposely used the word " BUT " to mislead you. Since I found out that people have been "conditioned " to react to words, I can't help myself ! So please forgive me. Well, what thought came to your mind when you saw the word " BIG BUT?" When most people see the word " BIG BUT " together, they usually don't come up with the " BIG BUT " that I am referring to in my article. The " BIG BUT " which I am thinking about has to do with the excuses that people use. They are always saying things like," I would quit my job ," BUT !"...I want to go back to School ," BUT!"... I wish I could take a vacation," BUT!" I want to buy a house," BUT." I would like to start a Business," BUT!" You see,they keep letting their " BIG BUT " get in the way ! In his book, David J. Schwartz didn't refer to them as a " BIG BUT." He call them " EXCUSES ." He said that people who had a " BIG BUT " usually were suffering from the " FAILURE DISEASE " known as, " EXCUSITIS." Although people are infected with many,many variations of this debilitating disease, he only included these four in Chapter 2 of his book. 1. Health Excusitis 2. Age Excusitis 3. Intelligence Excusitis 4. Bad Luck Excusitis. His Four suggestions for curing Health Excusitis are : 1. Refuse to talk about your health( Unless you are going to say something good about it. Personally, I [G.O. BLANSON ] religiously repeat these Two words, " I AM " followed by these Seven words, " WHOLE, PERFECT, STRONG, POWERFUL, LOVING, HARMONIOUS,and HAPPY ! ).2. Refuse to Worry about your health [ If you pray don't worry,if you worry don't pray ]. 3. Be genuinely grateful for your health { Practice Gratitude,without a negative attitude }. 4. Remind Yourself often," It's better to wear out , than to rust out!" His Three suggestions for curing Age Excusitis are : 1. Always look at your present age in positive ways{ The way you look at things,affect the way you feel }. 2. Calculate ( based on a 80 year Life expectancy ), just how much productive time you have left to accomplish your goals in life. 3. Start investing your time in doing the things that make you happy and that you really want to do { you only have one life to live, so don't spend it living someone else's life ! }. His Three suggestions for curing Intelligence Excusitis are : 1. Never Under-estimate your own Intelligence,and never Over-estimate the Intelligence of others{ Your Subconscious Mind is capable of connecting with an Infinite amount of Intelligence }. 2.Remind yourself several times daily , " MY ATTITUDES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY INTELLIGENCE !"( " As A Man Thinketh,So Is He ). 3. Remember that the ability to " THINK " is of much greater value than the ability to memorize words and facts,just to parrot them back !{ Use your mind to create and develop ideas and products, so that you won't " HAVE TO " depend on a job that you don't enjoy or like }. His Two suggestions for curing Bad Luck Excusitis are : 1. Accept the Law of Cause and Effect. [ Righteous Knowledge about Self and Awareness about things ]. 2. Don't just be a wishful Thinker ( Don't count on or wait for so-called Good Luck.Learn how to harness the Great Power within your Mind,Body , and Soul ). Well. I guess it's time for you to say " GOODBYE TO YOUR BIG BUT !" I hope that " NOW " you can see that " YOU " are the " ONE " holding " YOU " back, and " YOU " are the " ONE " causing " YOU " to fail ! Yes , " YOU " and the " false beliefs " that you have accepted from yourself and others throughout the years.You need to cut the proverbial " UMBILICAL CORD " that is keeping them alive,and preventing you from becoming the person you were meant to be ! In closing, I would like to leave you with this quote from Albert Einstein : “ Everyone is born a genius,but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid !"

" THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WHY EQUATION " - by G.O. Blanson

Recently,something has come to my attention.When most people tell other people about knowing their " WHY," they usually only talk about the " WHY, but not the " WHY NOT." They ask people " WHY " they want to do something. However, they fail to ask them " WHY NOT." Other words, they don't ask them about the other side of the " WHY EQUATION." The other side of the " WHY EQUATION " is what I call the " WHY NOT SIDE."The reasons " WHY " people feel that they can't begin " NOW " working on achieving their goals.Reason such as, " I don't have enough money," I don't know the right people,and I don't know what to do. EXERCISE : For every YOU feel like I can't do something " NOW," because, WRITE DOWN THE REASON ( YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN'T ), BUT ALSO BRAINSTORM ideas and ways that YOU can begin " NOW,TODAY, working on overcoming YOUR " I can't do something NOW, because.

" Any Road Will Take You There, if You Do Not Know Where You Want To Go " - by Garry O. Blanson

While walking the other day, a scene from one of my favorite childhood movies," Alice in Wonderland " entered my mind.It was the scene where the Cheshire Cat asked Alice were she was going. Alice asked the Cheshire Cat : " Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" ; The Cheshire Cat replied : it depends a good deal on where you want to get to ; Alice : I don't much care where ; The Cheshire Cat : Then it doesn't much matter which way you go. When I thought about that scene, all I could do was laugh ! Why was I laughing ? Well, when I thought about Alice asking the Cheshire Cat that question, it made me realize that so many people are exactly where Alice was in the Movie.They want to know which way they should go, but they don't know exactly where they want to get to,so it's just like the Cheshire Cat said in the movie," Then it doesn't much matter which way they go !" It seems like people have been conditioned to run on autopilot. If you are a kid, it's wakeup, go to school, do your lesson, go home,do your " homework," watch television, take a bath, go to bed and get ready to do it allover again tomorrow !If you are an adult. It's get the kids off to school,go to a job,do the work at the job, go home, cook the food for the kids, watch television, take a bath, go to bed and get ready to do it allover again tomorrow ! Robert Kiyosaki, the author of " Rich Dad Poor Dad " says, once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill-paying, they become like those little hamsters running around in those little metal wheels. Their little furry legs are spinning furiously, the wheel is turning furiusly, but come tomorrow morning, they’ll still be in the same cage( going nowhere ): great job !” So, how does one get off of the proverbial " HAMSTER WHEEL ?" Where should a person begin ? I believe that a person should begin with an " AWARENESS " of one's ownself ! Stephen Covey said," Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom. The power to choose, to respond, to change. You see, in order for a person to change, they must become " AWARE " of what changes need to be made. A Wiseman once said," He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.” “The first thing you have to know is yourself. A man who knows himself can step outside himself and watch his own reactions like an observer.” “ Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.” So, start with Yourself.Take time everyday to get to " Know-Thyself better !" Most people have spent over 12 years of their lives learning about everything under-the-sun, but themselves.So do yourself a favor in " 2017 "and make it a priority to get to know YOURSELF BETTER. Besides,you can't truly be who you are,unless you know who you are ! Please don't forget to go to FACEBOOK and like my page: https://www.facebook.com/Garry-O-Blanson-115049231930571/?fref=hovercard
