Speaker 1 (7s): We're back. It's up, everybody. Did you miss me? I missed you guys. I was thinking about you. How's this whole NLP thing working out for you guys. I'm hopeful that you have taken some time to go through the parts that may have been difficult and do your own homework. There's a lot more, I could get more in depth. However, I'm in some areas I'm trying to leave a few gaps so that you're forced to create your own bridge.

If I gave you the entirety of the strategy, I fear that it would be a strategy that doesn't last, right? No one builds things better than those who build for themselves. So let's jump in to a course, three course, three I'm going to call flow. State we've did course one, which is understanding how you think we've done a little bit in managing our mind, figuring out the difference between the way the brain processes, things and how to manage the way we think about them.

And this next part is going to be the flow state. Everybody knows what the flow state is. It's when you just, you get in the zone and like, everything is just work in my head. This old mentor that used to tell me, man, George, the Mojo's flowing today, the Mojo's flow. Maybe we would call this the mojo state, mojo flowing kind of like kind of like it, mojo flowing. All right. However, before we get into the flow state, before we get that mojo flowing, we're going to do a little bit more of our intro here.

The book from Alice O'Neil Proverbs. This is going to be on substance and appearance, substance and appearance. You ready? I'm excited guys and girls, it's going to be a good one. Today. Substance things are what they are. It is what it is. For instance, however long, a log lies in the water. It never becomes a crocodile. And you don't gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles nature, abhors a vacuum.

Thus, the pebble comes from the mountain and each Bay has its own wind in nature. There's no such thing as a lawn. Even if you try to drive out nature with a Pitchfork, she'll keep coming back. Indeed nature follows its course and the cat, the mouse. So cats don't catch mice to please God human nature is the same. The world over just as the name given to a child becomes natural to it. Perhaps because of this, sometimes a person is nothing and some aren't even that.

So never forget. There's a prawn under every rock and to him who watches, everything reveals itself, Appearance. It is widely held that as is the garden. So is the gardener just as there is no smoke without fire, indeed, what you see is what you get. So maybe clothes make the man. In most cases, joining tail to trunk reveals the elephant in the same way that background needs the foreground and every Hill has its Valley.

So appear always what you are and a little less for an a flat country. A hillock is a mountain and don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes, as it takes all sorts to make the world and all shoes are not made in the same batch. Indeed different ponds have fish. Remember appearances are deceitful and looks are nothing. Behavior is all. And since the eyes are the window of the soul, what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve.

Disguises never judge a book by its cover for a cowl does not make a monk and pretty close and find faces. Don't make good people. Indeed. A fair skin often covers a crooked mind, perhaps closed do not make the man after all as black soles wear white shirts while they clever Hawk hides its claws and all too often under the SHEEX turbine, there is a monkey water can deceive the diver as well.

So don't be a fool. Don't think there are no crocodiles. If the water is still and remember a sweet potato, doesn't advertise that he's tasty just as the tree with most leaves, doesn't always have juicy fruit. It goes without saying that not all white liquids are milk just as not all black objects are cold and a sandal is not a shoe. So look deeper and see that the gray mayor may be the better horse. Despite the fact that a bad horse will eat as much as a good one and watch out there are often glowing embers under cold ashes.

Remember eat what you like, but dress as others do goodness whispers, but evil shouts. It's a good one, right?

Speaker 0 (5m 43s): It's a good one. Right? All right.

Speaker 1 (5m 50s): Let's get into the flow state. Let me see if I can get your mojo flowing.

Speaker 0 (5m 57s): Okay. So we're going

Speaker 2 (5m 58s): To follow the same path that got a lot of good feedback. We're going to go over each key idea. We're going to dissect it and we're going to do a defensive posture and an offensive posture, giving examples for both the flow state key idea. One, the expectations we have shape our experience. People can limit or expand what's possible for them by changing their expectations. You know, I once heard a quote that says high expectations make poor travel companions.

And in a way that's kind of some verbal jujitsu here because expectations do in fact shape our experience. So getting back to the quote, high expectations, make poor travel companions. You want to be careful about the high expectations. High expectations are fine, but unreasonable expectations are a problem.

Just the same way that unreasonable goals are the problem. If you said something so high in such a short amount of time, you're never going to attain it. Realistic goals as well as realistic expectations are indeed the checkpoints one must cross through in order to get where it is you need to go. I'm sure you have found yourself in a position where it's almost like a curse sometimes.

Where do you go, Oh man, this, I can just feel this one's going to be great. And whatever it is that was going to be great. You go and you do it. And it's not. It's like, you feel like you jinxed yourself a little bit. Mostly that happens when you haven't given a lot of thought when you just have this kind of a, it's kind of a irrational, emotional expectation. And I think that's getting to the heart of what this key point is talking about. A lot of expectations are in fact irrational.

If you can hone in on what the facts are about the situation you're about to encounter, you can come up with a plausible explanation and that is when you can Polish it and give it a positive spin. That's when you can Polish it and say, Hey, this thing that happened here, regardless of which way it goes, I'm either going to get a lot of good feedback or it's going to take me to the next spot when it comes to expectations, when it comes to neuro linguistic, I want you to think about the expectations of the situation with there not being a catastrophic outcome, because there is no failure.

There is in fact only feedback that is the defensive posture. You know what I mean by that? Have you ever had something bad happen to you and you think to yourself, ah, how am I going to get through this thing? Or, you know what, because this happened, I'm not going to do it anymore. That's the wrong state of mind. And that is going back to the last chapter. That's the brain processing. Instead of the mind processing, the NLP practitioner understands that there is no failure, only feedback, right?

The next time, the next time you get in that situation, you will have experien...
