Programmed for purpose.
Are you programmed for success or programmed for failure?
Depends how you define success & failure, doesn't it?

Once the wiring changes, it can never return to is prior state. When we gain new information, we can't help but assimilate the new data into our program. Even if that translates to a new form of avoidance. By virtue of knowing something exists that we did not know existed before, validates the existence of it. Even if we deny something exists, what we deny can no longer be ignored. It's new data that influences our program.
Wired to grow is about establishing an analogy to define once and for all, everything we experience. It's a framework to define the theory of everything that is true for you.
The writings that follow are based on my own observations and reflections on a life that is much different than your own. Whether you agree or disagree with my theories isn't important. What'll happen is that new data will enter into your consciousness and you can't help but be changed, if if minutely, by it.
What I am sharing through this book are ideas that have helped me cope in the real world, but zooming out, and taking a different perspective.
Some of this will probably be familiar, as I am living in the same world as you, and why my observations may differ, they all originate from the same place. But much of it, I hope, will be new to you.
My life purpose is simple: To positively impact the lives of a million people in a significant way, by 2020.
I welcome your input, for the collective wisdom of all readers far exceeds the wisdom of one author. For that reason, I've created a webpage for each idea where you can share your comments, expand on what I've written, and/or challenge it completely. I want to engage the reader like few authors have before.
If this book really reaches a million people, and those million people are given an opportunity to engage with the ideas further, I am certain a tipping point will occur and the universal consciousness will be elevated as a result.
I am not the center of the ideas, I am simply creating a path for enablement. In 2008, I proclaimed that I am a catalyst for miracles, with miracles being defined as an outcome no one could have imagined previously. This book is one potential seed to make that statement true.
You are the miracle I want to spark through engaging in a theory of everything that will infinitely expand through everyone it reaches.
What hit me over the years of sharing my writings with my critique group is that they would often take ideas in new directions and much further than I had originally conceived.
An example is when I shared the rule of 150. After I shared, they expanded the idea further than I had originally conceived - with the question 'so you can use the rule of 150 to vet who you say yes to?'
8 UP is an infinitely expanding framework to dig deeper into any concept to the tinies, most precise point possible.
Beliefs are what give meaning to data. Data itself without application is meaningless. We are the application of data. We not only write apps, but are the app itself. Our beliefs are the culmination of all the programing up to this point. Who you are is an app created by your parents, so you inherited much of your framework (your DNA) as a result.
How far we evolve as a person is relative to our programing. Our beliefs are the underling operating system upon which all out programs are carried out. As such, the programs you run are confined within the limits of your O/S (your beliefs). We cannot run programs that conflict with our beliefs, when we do, we run into conflict and freeze up (just like our computers)!
Therefore, in order to run new programs, we must continually upgrade our O/S... just as the operating system is upgraded on your computer or phone. Everytime you upgrade your OS, you are expanding your beliefs to accommodate the needs of your users.
Your users are everyone else in the world you interact with. In order to improve the ever changing lives of everyone else in it, you continually upgrade your O/S. One of the main purposes of this life is to keep our O/S updated, which takes effort.
So in the analogy that follows, here are a few of the direct correlations I'm making:
Operating System = Our belief system
Programs (or apps) = Information processing
Subroutines = engrained habits
We are applications, at a different level as phone apps, but apps the same.
