The Second decision represents a “Naïve Climb” with a new burst of energy by the group. You experience quick success as a result of focused energy and a new initiative. This “Thunderbolt” jolts your people to move with a new purpose but one that will quickly be forgotten once old habits creep back in and the daily grind wears on people.
Here are key principles around the second decision of “Dreaming Up” in my book “This Ain’t No Practice Life:”
a. This decision begins by understanding all things are created twice; first mentally then physically. You begin to dream and envision the end product of where you are going like the custom home you’ve always wanted.
b. You enter into a “dream room” where you see with the mind’s eye what is capable and possible and you want to replicate the success of others and then others replicate your success.
c. You re-orient your value system that has consistently put you living in the past and now points toward your future.
d. You put valuable past experiences; both positive and negative in your suitcase and carry them with you to help build your dream one brick at a time.
e. You vow never to let your past hold your future hostage irrespective of that past.
f. You write your dreams down and share them with people you know and care about and understand “we only get one life, but if we work it just right one is all we will ever need.”
