Amazing Journey Part 2: Secret To Mental Mastery

By Mark Flournoy | April 14, 2008

In a prior post, I revealed that, more than anything else, your T.E.A.™, your trio of Thoughts, Emotions and Actions are the critical ingredients that determine if your life is very sweet, sour or somewhere in between.

Let’s take a look at how important each of these

Have You Suffered From ( One Or More ) Of These 3 Failure Points?

First. Has your mind ever gone blank when you needed it? Maybe at a job interview, when taking a test or when giving an important presentation?

Causes Of Failure It happens to everyone at one time or another. It’s an example of “thought failure”. You simply failed to think at the right time. When coaches scream at their players “get your head in the game” they’re trying to cure “thought failure”.

Second. Have you ever thought about what you want to do, taken action and still gotten rotten results?

There are many people who do the right things and still fail. Many times, the problem is that they failed to use emotion. The truth is that they didn’t have their HEART in it. It’s a perfect example of ‘Emotion Failure’. Your emotion, or lack of it, caused you to fail.

Maybe you’ve heard the saying “If your not fired up by enthusiasm, you’ll be fired with enthusiasm”. Emotions are critical.

Third. Have you ever known what to do and felt like doing it but you just didn’t do it? This is a ‘failure to act’. And it’s as common a cause of failure almost more than anything else.

These scenarios illustrate the importance of each ingredient in your mental T.E.A.™. Even if the other 2 ingredients are right, lack of the 3rd can cause failure.

To solve these problems take a look at the below story The Journey To Mystic City. Take a look below…

Success Journey The amazing journey to mystic city PART II

In the first part of this story, our adventurous trio (Moe, Akshen and Flash) searched for Mystic city. If they reached it, they would be granted the life of their dreams.

They were delighted to find Mystic City. But it was on the other side of an old swinging bridge that was guarded by monks. The monks would only let them cross if the were tied hand-to-hand. The trio agreed.

They started across the bridge but a lightening storm and huge winds seemed to attack them and that’s when the wooden planks beneath Moe’s feet shattered. As Moe began to fall his friends grabbed him but they could not support his weight. That’s when…

“Akshen saw a yellow blur rushing towards her at breathtaking speed.”

As the yellow blur approached it became clear that there was, not one, but 3 monks leaping onto the bridge. They were skipping over the bridge’s wooden planks so skillfully that it appeared as though they were walking on water. It seemed impossible given the weakness of the bridge and the fact that the bridge was not moving the slightest bit… a moment later the 3 Monks were at her side.. in unison they effortlessly pulled Moe back onto the bridge.

Moe cried tears of joy. Akshen and Flash were dumbfounded because it took them 4 hours to get that far on the bridge but the Monks made it in just moments.

They asked the monks how they made so much progress in so little time.

One of the monks replied.

“Our efforts looked like magic but they weren’t.”

He continued.

“Each of you has incredible power. That power can be good or bad. Given your predicament, your power has been bad.”

“Consider the humble Caterpillar. Did you know that a caterpillar has 3 pairs of legs? The caterpillar’s legs move with one vision. The legs don’t selfishly care for just one part of the body. Each leg feels responsible for the entire body. So just a couple of caterpillar legs can support it’s entire body. It’s only accomplished because each caterpillar leg gives maximum strength.

More importantly, you can be more powerful than the caterpillar because you can add speed and momentum. And that’s precisely what we did.

One last tip. Some might laugh at the caterpillar’s simple brain. But it’s simplicity is its strength. The caterpillar does NOT doubt. It doesn’t beat itself up. It just does.

Here is a chant that will help you. As you begin again… repeat over and over
“sight, strength and speed aligned makes life a breeze!

Allow your mind and body to be consumed by these words as you move forward. And before you know it… you’ll be done.”

As quickly as they appeared the monks disappeared.

The trio started out… slowly.. with the intent of not only supporting their own efforts but being strong enough to support the others. With a shared vision.Seeing the Monks gave them faith. It shifted their focus from falling to reaching Mystic City.

Before long they were moving along. Finally they made it to the end of the bridge. As they celebrated the trio realized that just as the caterpillar changes into the butterfly, they too had changed. They celebrated in Mystic City.

May you… Think And Grow Richer!

Success Secrets from the Amazing Journey To Mystic City

Master T.E.A.™ Secret Number 1:
Our trio came to a bridge. That bridge was a bridge of decision and your mind crosses it many times a day. The “wind” in the story represent the arbitrary winds of society influencing your decision-making.

Do you remember the 3 rules from the first part of this article? Here they are…

Rule #1: They had to be tied together. And it’s the same with your mental T.E.A.™ If one takes a nosedive, chances are that the other will follow.

Rule #2: They could never return to the start of the bridge. Decisions rarely, if ever, stop. Everyday these 3 travel across your bridge of decision.

Rule #3: To succeed they must work together. Also true in your life. If you want to perform at peak levels then these 3 must be aligned. When they are fighting with each other you experience inner-conflict and self-sabotage.

Master T.E.A.™ Secret Number 2:
If you want to overcome obstacles then be like the caterpillar, contribute maximum strength. For each ingredient in your mental T.E.A.™ give 110%. Make each one so strong that individually it can get the job done. Then the combined power of all 3 ingredients will crush any obstacle in your path. Do it and obstacles will melt away.
