Make The QUANTUM LEAP

Change Your Personal Rules For Success

Many people operate with a mindset that success must come one step at a time, we must move systematically from our present level of achievement to the next.  From that stage we can work toward the next higher level—gradual progress.  But your life simply doesn’t have to operate that way.  Instead of accepting present circumstances or being content with gradual improvement, go for a Breakthrough---Make a QUANTUM LEAP!

Leveraging your personal effectiveness by an order of magnitude—making a QUANTUM LEAP—is not a commonplace idea.  You shouldn’t be surprised to hear that unconventional success calls for unconventional approaches.

Quantum leaps require paradoxical behavior.  Unusual moves.  Actions that on the surface often seem to contradict common sense.

As humans, though, we ordinarily go with the obvious.  We fall into the habit of relying on behaviors that seem to have worked best for us over the years.  When we take an approach that seems to be very serviceable, and which enables us to perform well and succeed, we become very attached to it.  We don’t readily relinquish that habit pattern.  In fact, there’s a tendency to follow our favorite approach more and more often, such that we get better at handling things that particular way.

This structured thinking with a certain approach results in our overdependence on the strategies and tactics it involves.  We resist new maneuvers because they make us feel clumsy, awkward, and more at risk.

But if you want to accelerate your rate of achievement rapidly, you MUST search out and vigorously employ new behaviors.  New attitudes.  You MUST be willing to break out of your routines in order to make that QUANTUM LEAP.

The things that worked for you in the past could very likely lose their serviceability.  Even if your usual approach still holds promise for maintaining your PRESENT level of performance and growth, it may not help much if you want to hit far greater achievement levels.

Your historically most dependable behaviors can become the major obstacles to your future success.  It’s possible for them to cripple your progress.  They may stand as personal boundary lines that limit what you can accomplish with your life.

Breakthroughs demand a radical departure from some of your regular habits.  You can choose a different course of action and make the QUANTUM LEAP!!  Tomorrow we’ll talk about approaches and strategies involved to employ new behaviors and make that LEAP.
