Get out of the box - Part 3 - Principle rules Precedent.
If we are fortunate enough to overcome the first limitation of our paper prison, the lack of instant feedback, then we need to deal with the 2nd wall limiting our growth: allowing precedent, our past experience, to rule our judgment.
"I tried it, but it didn't work" has become the anthem for those unwilling to work their way out of the rut. We use this excuse to pardon our failure and to justify our lethargy.
It's time to admit that weak and uninformed attempts at bringing about change are NOT "proof" that the method, recipe or principle doesn't work, but is infact evidence that we are not really willing to change.
There is nothing new under the sun. Everything that is, was. Everything that was, will be.
I promise you: someone somewhere has successfully achieved what you want to attempt, and they have the right laws, principles, and methods for you to duplicate the success.
Getting out of the box of complacency starts with us admitting that principle, or truth, is more valuable than our faulty personal experience.
The second thing we need to do in order break free from our prison of mediocrity is to find the relevant laws, principles and methods to help us succeed, and then to APPLY THEM.
Yes, you will fail in your first few attempts! So what? Learn! Practice! Persist!
Decide that principle rules precedent, and keep striving for success, for in due season you shall reap.
