You can get the success you want if you increase your level of teachability. Are you willing to give up stuff to learn? Are you willing to give up even your favorite thing for a year! That will quickly give you an overview of your own level of teachability. You already know this to be true. If you set aside an hour day to read you will become more successful! Of course remember to listen to the right people that have real evidence that what they did works. That is why biographies are so powerful. They contain no theory, just facts based upon the life of someone who reached ultra success. Books are powerful that is why throughout history reading has been made illegal for most of the population! Even in certain states of America there was a time where it was illegal for certain people to read! The people in power have access to books we may never see. However reading is very powerful people like Kings and Queens knew this and used laws to prevent people from reading just to make sure people would not become too powerful. Doctors read a lot as well! Reading is super powerful. Watch C-Span and see how much the politicians actually read! Technical reading that most of us would need a lawyer to even barely understand. Politicians write the law that lawyers study. There is a huge library in Congress. The ability to learn is sometimes the only divide between people of very different incomes. Anyone can change themselves today by learning.
Once you do learn however you may have experienced that your brain automatically does things almost as if you never learned anything! This is because coupled along with being teachable has to be the willingness to accept change! In martial arts they practice over and over again to make sure that your brain has the technique built in. There is muscle memory and most importantly there are neuropathways in your brain. Anything you learn, and then do, starts to become a neuropathway in your brain. That is why sometimes you have to say why do I keep doing that a few times before your brain truly adjusts! This is key if a politician gets a mentor they have to be willing to change after they learn something new. You have to turn yourself into Bruce Lee. Everyone knows how to throw a punch. However Bruce Lee probably had a karate teacher or a book at first. It was up to him to practice over and over until he was changed. That is the same with everything anyone can learn, however only a few will truly change! The saying goes insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. You cannot allow things to go in one ear and out the other. Just how teachable are you?
This is a powerful skill that ultra successful people already have. Look at the masters of the past. Davinci studied painting, sculpture, anatomy, science, engineering, and architecture. Can you guess that the man was teachable. Back then it was probably a lot of sacrifice he made just to learn that! Imagine that even during Benjamin Franklin's time it took weeks to travel between Europe and America by boat. Who knows how much the great masters have sacrificed. If you study them you will find they are highly teachable. Just imagine how your life will change when you take the very act of learning and create a habit out of it! You must be teachable. You must be coachable!
One of the most powerful ways to change is by writing things down! Bob Proctor tells a story of when his debt of six thousand dollars totalled more than his yearly income and simply wrote his goal of having twenty five on an index card and carried it with him. Just doing that helped him to actually realize the change in his own life. Today he is a millionaire. He had already been reading Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill however like I said learning is only the first step the second step is implementing it into your life! He did that with an index card and there are actually a lot of wealthy people who have done the same thing or have had a symbol of success that helps remind them! People have used paintings, dream boards, and of course writing! People write their goals on a note and carry it, they write on their mirrors. It really doesn't matter where you write it. The point is use writing to create change in your life. Writing is just an easy way to do it. When you write something by hand you are using a lot of those neuropathways because of the intricate movements of your fingers. Add to that you can give yourself a message at different times. For example you can say "I want to read more." Tape it to the remote control of the tv. That way you can remind yourself in different states of mind, this is very powerful. Sometimes you will not feel like doing something, then later you will wish you did it, by taking that time and writing a note to yourself and placing it where you will see it in that state can really help you change!
Find something you love and learn about it. Learn a new skill or further skills you have already learned. Developing a skill is embracing change. You will be slightly different after you have developed the skill. Education has educe as a root word meaning to draw from within. It is the same principle in weight lifting. When you lift weights over and over your muscle gets stronger. When you read or learn everyday your mind gets stronger. Now whether you want to develop your mind to become a politician or just become ultra successful doing what you love is up to you!
