We’ve invented a new index. We use it often. You can too.
We call it the Unpleasantness Index. UI for short.
It has many applications.
When the UI is high, it’s essential that you re-connect with the “why” of what you’re doing. It has to really matter. Without a sufficient “why,” the UI will stop you in your tracks.
“Today I will do what others won’t so tomorrow I can do what others can’t,” Jerry Rice once said.
Push through the UI
You can run. But you can’t hide.
Well… actually you can hide. But that doesn’t usually work out very well.
Busy isn’t better.
Less is actually more.
Kind of a paradox… like jumbo shrimp.
But a paradox worth exploring.
“In the middle of the journey of our life, I found myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost,” Dante wrote.
It’s easy to get lost.
It’s easy to go missing in action… especially in the middle of the journey of your life.
The answer isn’t an affair… or a Ferrari.
The answer is within.
The heart knows.
The heart always knows.
Connect there.
Do you experience the experiences of your life?
Or… are you just a spectator?
Or… worse yet… are you just missing out entirely?
(Danger lurks.)
With so much coming at you all of the time, with so many demands and distractions, it’s easy to lose the capacity to focus…
Only to lose connection with the moment… this one and only moment.
And… miss the moment.
The entirety of your life consists of a series of moments, the poet Emily Dickinson wrote. “Forever is composed of moments.”
You miss the moment at your peril; to your detriment.
Because as Annie Dillard writes, “What is important is the moment of opening a life and feeling it touch–with an electric hiss and cry–this speckled mineral sphere, our present world.”
The present is called the present because it’s a present… and really the only one we have.
Practice experiencing the experiences of your life.
Be in this moment.
There is only one path to success. If you don’t follow that one path, you’re screwed.
Not.
Whether it’s building a business, launching a product or program, delivering a workshop or writing a book, there are many paths to the “right” outcome.
You don’t need to get locked into someone else’s path.
You get to experiment. You get to play.
You get to decide the way that works for you.
And… if it doesn’t work… you get to choose again.
