THINKING WORK Flawed? — Your Brain’s Broken? Fix That With a Little Thinking Work !

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

One of my mentors (a real believer in thinking work) tells the story of connecting with a man who made way more money than he did, which would be a lot to nearly everyone.  With the philosophy he must have some flaw to not be making as much as this man, he asked what it might be.  The response was razor quick:  “Your brain’s broken.  You need to fix it.”

OUCH, That Hits Too Close Too Home.  I Want to Apply Some Thinking Work To This!

I can’t say that I know what my mentor friend responded because my own brain was whirring (with a decided wobble), but he said something because the wealthier man immediately said back, “see what I mean?  You want to tell me rather than listen and learn.”

Having done considerable thinking work myself, I noted that I was bridling at what I was hearing.  Along with that I could tell why I was bridling.  Ever feel like you’ve been “outed” in thinking that you just realized was insupportable?  Do you ever feel like someone was going to display one of your secrets to the world at large and you had just caught on it was meant (by you) to be a secret, and oh, you were supposed to be paying attention but it felt like your backside was exposed?

You know that confused, awkward feeling that accompanies you overhearing someone else getting caught red-handed, while at the same time you know it could have been you in the hot seat and it could have been much, much worse?  Your thinking work goes by the by trying to fan the heated cheeks you’re feeling.

My Mentor’s Recovering Considerably Better Than I Am.  So, the Assignment is Thinking Work?

My mentor is mentor to many folks.  Some will buy what he tells them at this point.  Many others will scoff and not.  He attributes this to great leaps in monthly money production over several years, but I can see the effect thinking work acquires from this part of the story.

His wealthy friend has told him the fix his brain needs is to be filled daily with thinking work he can provide both visually (reading) and in auditory fashion by audio tapes, CDs, DVDs, videos and live events.  What he is looking for is input that will “increase” him.

Are Your Eye Brows Beetling, Your Forehead Furrowing, Face Grimacing or Are You on Board with Thinking Work?

knowing full well the value you could be provided.

I do so this post sobered by the awareness 97% of human kind will have no interest, and primarily sobered knowing that included the same percentage of my family and friends.  The way my thinking works has taught me I am not always a good fit for those I know best, enjoy most being around, and love most fiercely.  At its root, my thinking work is different than theirs.  Perhaps it is close to the time I need to share with you what mine is.
