The Largest Reasons We Miss The Solutions We Need
How Understanding This Can Make Your Life Dramatically Better Fast
One of My Greatest Superpowers is Helping Clients Escape Dis-Stress Quickly.
This allows them to Perform Higher.
Stay Moving Toward Their Goals Longer and Achieve Them Faster.
Plus, especially since the addition of ANS-Serenity Sessions for Clients...
Better Health Outcomes.
I have had Clients who have Struggled with Stressors for Years...
Some of them with Debilitating Effects on their Lives and Careers...
Dramatically Reduce or Eliminate Their Impact in a Matter of Months.
From Individuals to Organizations with Hundreds of Employees.
With some Results Shocking even Me.
But this is Where things Become Interesting...
If these Clients have Struggled, sometimes for Years...
How is it that I am able to Help them Find the Solution(s) they Need Quickly?
Sometimes, with Solutions that, in Hindsight, Seem Obvious.
Am I Magic or Something?
Obviously Not... Or at least not last time I checked.
But it Begs the Question of How So Many People Miss the Solutions They Need.
Usually it Comes Down to Three Factors.
The First is Hyper Focus.
Often, We Miss the Solutions We Need because We Are "So" Focused on Something...
That is the Wrong Focus for What We Need.
It is like Becoming a Master of the Hammer, and then Attempting to Do Everything with Only a Hammer.
I have Seen this with Entrepreneurs who Focus Only on One Challenging Aspect of their Business Over Everything Else, Such as Revenue, while Not Looking at Customer Outreach.
I have Seen this with Teams where Leaders Fight because They Only See "Their" Challenges without Considering How Their Work Impacts Others.
I have Seen this in Psychophysiological Research where People Try to Find Solutions to Problems in "Their" Field, when Research Seems to Indicate that Other Fields are More Likely to Provide the Solution Needed.
So Often, We Get Into these Cycles of Focusing So Intently...
That We Become Blind to Everything Else Around Us.
Work Stress is So Impactful that People Fail to See How they Bring their Stress Home and Negatively Impact their Families.
Home Stress is So Impactful that People Fail to See How they Bring their Stress into their Work and Negatively Impact their Results.
Both Work and Home Stress are So Impactful that People Fail to See How their Food Choices Cause Physical Damage to their Bodies and Raise their Baseline Stressors, Making them Less Capable at Handling Both Work and Home Stress.
Which Brings us to Our Second Factor...
Dis-Stress.
As Humans, We can Only Handle so many Simultaneous Stressors.
This Limit is Known as Our Stress Threshold.
When We Go "Past" This Threshold?
We Enter Dis-Stress.
In Dis-Stress, Our Ability to Do Everything Diminishes.
Including Problem-Solving.
This means that We Become Less Able to See the Solutions We Need.
The Dis-Stress literally Blocks Our Ability to Find the Answers...
Even if the Answers are "Right" There.
As Long as We are In Dis-Stress...
Our Ability to Function will be Compromised.
You See this in Action when One Person is Running around like a Chicken with their Head Cut Off Looking for Something...
Then someone else walks Up, barely looks at the Situation, and says, "Did you try...?"
Which then is the Solution that was Needed.
The First Person was in Dis-Stress and Unable to Find Solutions Clearly.
The Second Person, Not in Dis-Stress, Quickly had Access to the Solution Needed.
This plays Out in So Many Different Ways in Life.
For Our Third Factor...
People often Miss Solutions because They Are Only Looking Where They Know...
Without Considering that there May be Anything "Beyond" What they Know.
I was Listening to a Documentary Earlier about "Giant Viruses".
They are Viruses that are Significantly Larger than Traditional Viruses...
So Large in Fact that, when First Discovered...
People Simply thought it was an Unknown Bacterium due to its Size.
No One had Ever Considered that a Virus "Could" be that Big.
But, Once Researches Sat Down and Study the Giant Virus...
They Began to See that, Indeed, a Virus "Could" Be Significantly Larger than they Imagined.
Then...
Once it was Known...
More Giant Viruses Began to be Uncovered.
But Even More Fascinating...
Some of the Giant Viruses May have Connections to Diseases that Scientists have Long had Challenges in Understanding.
What does this Seem to Indicate?
That Because No One had "Considered" that a Virus "Could" Large...
That the Potential Culprits to Diseases have Gone Unrecognized...
Simply because No One Considered "Other" Possibilities Outside of what is Known.
There could be Many Reasons to Explain This.
Pride.
Egotism.
Lack of Imagination.
Habits.
Being Trained To Think a Certain Way.
Not Questioning Those Who Came Before Us.
Turning a Blind Eye when the Opportunity Presents Itself.
Those are Only a Handful of Potential Explanations.
But the Result is the Same...
We Fail to See the Solution.
This is One of the Reasons Why Those Who Seek Sageship Refuse to Accept Mastery as the Final Step...
Because Mastery is just a word that Means You've Learned What is Known...
But there is Vastly More that is Beyond what we Currently Know...
Much of what We "Know" is Completely Wrong.
Which is All the More Reason to Reject Mastery as the Final Step...
And Seek Sageship in the Unknown.
Now, there is One More Thing to Consider when it comes to How We Miss the Solutions We Need...
It Can Be A Combination of these Three Factors.
Hyper Focus.
Dis-Stress.
Failing to Consider the Unknown.
In Many Ways, these Frequently Tie Together.
We Fail to Consider the Unknown because We are Intensely Hyper Focused on What We Do Know.
When in Dis-Stress, we Frequently Hyper Focus on Whatever Problems are Loudest, which are Often Results of Other "Upstream" Problems.
We Fail to Consider the Unknown in Dis-Stress because We're Struggling Enough with What We "Do" Know.
All of these Factors can Impact Us Individually...
But in Today's World, they Often Combine to Create Real Challenges to Find the Solutions We Need.
Are the Solutions There?
Often...
Yes.
Even in Areas where Science Seems to Struggle Intensely...
Often the Answers are Closer than We Realize.
But, to Find the Answers...
Sometimes We Have to Overcome these Three Factors that are Standing in Our Way.
And When We Do?
Sometimes, the Solutions are Discovered Extremely Quickly and Create an Impact Larger than We Could Imagine at Speeds We Never Considered Possible.
