The Promise

• Follow unconventional
• “Trying harder” isn’t necessarily the solution to achieving more.

Quantum Leaps

• Taking the Quantum Leap as Fred Alan Wolf describes it —

the explosive jump that a particle of matter undergoes in moving from one place to another… in a figurative sense, taking the quantum leap means taking a risk going off into an uncharted territory with not guide to follow.

• Physicists says making these “jumps” without apparent effort and without covering all the bases between the starting and ending points.

You²

• Most people operate with the mindset that success comes one step at a time. My life does not have to operate that way
• Advancing at a measured pace — step by step from where I am to a little bit better — ordinarily feels easier, more natural, and even safer. But in certain areas of my life, I can just as easily think in terms of skipping levels.

• “Explosive jump” in my personal performance that puts me far beyond the next logical step.

Change My Personal Rule for Success.

• It’s a formula for stunning advances in achievement and realization of your dreams.
• High velocity moves that carry me to dramatically higher performance levels without time-consuming struggle.
• Quantum leaps violate common sense!
• Me squared is a strategy that can deliver those special dreams and ambitions that I instinctively feel should be mine, But the breakthrough demands a radical departure from some of my habits.

Quit Trying Harder

• “more of the same” gives you more of the same.
• The usual convention is Try a little harder and get a little bigger payoff. Try a lot harder and you can expect a lot better results . Right ? Sooner or later you are going to reach the point where you can’t try any harder. It may be that your spirit flags, or that your physical and mental resources are stretched to the limit. And often, well before you come to that set circumstances, you reach the point of diminishing returns — trying harder and harder starts producing less and less. Sometimes, in fact, intensifying your efforts produces nothing except bigger problems.
• The fly could have follow the part of least resistance as it flew to open the door.
• This is not an argument against self-discipline or persistence. Those are true virtues which over a life time can make powerful contribution to success and and achievement. They are fundamental to development of my talents.
• It’s extremely important to apply myself diligently, and sometimes “staying power” is what delivers a big win.
• More often, you’ll find that trying harder only produces incremental gains, sometimes offers a straight path to burnout.
• Being resolute and trying on committed effort, can blind you to better pathways.
• If you want o make a quantum leap, quit thinking about trying harder. More effort isn’t the answer.

Ignore Conventional Ways

• Get ruthless about trying something different
• Ordinarily we achieve conventional growth because we think along conventional lines.
• Quantum leaps require me to abandon the status quo
• Me squared required abrupt change of behaviour.
• Look for a paradoxical move.

I must do something new!

• “Faith in familar” sets the trap
• Overcome the addiction to your old methodologies. Set a new pattern.
• If the things you're doing have quit working, stop ding them. Focus on what works.
• If you’ll quit doing what you’ve been doing, instead of doggedly doing it harder ,you at least create an opportunity — some “space” — to do something else.
• Quantum leaps come when you seek the elegant solution. So look for an approach characterized by simplicity, precision, efficiency, neatness. It won’t be as complex or time consuming as your present struggle. Overall, it will be less demanding of your energies and emotions. And it would probably not be familiar to you.
• Me squared calls me for a fresh perspective, deft move, a path of less resistance.

Think beyond what common sense would allow

• Most of us can be found flying to close to the ground. Too often we don’t give ourselves permission to soar.
• It’s time to start focusing on possibilities, rather on limits or obstacles.

• — Violate the boundary of the probable

• A 10% or 20% percent improvement isn’t the idea at all.
• Don’t get the idea that anything you can think of is possible. But in some areas of your life what lies within your reach is enough to stagger the mind. I can double my level of success. Triple it. Far beyond that, I can leverage up my performance to the second or third or forth power …or beyond.
• True there are limits, but I don’t need to worry about them. My real limits are far beyond my artificial boundaries. The real limits won’t box me in, but the false one I carry around in mind are a self-imposed prison.
• I have to give up some of my old beliefs and sacrifice some of those “sensible” thinking patterns.
• So-called common sense can be a curse that puts a ceiling on how far I reach or how high I fly.
• Me squared, the quantum leap strategy, is based on uncommon sense.

Suspend Disbelief

• Act as if your success certain

• Instead of holding back because I don’t have hard proof that I can make a quantum leap, I’d see if I can end up with evidence proving that I can’t.
• I’ll make the jump — act because I know my success is guaranteed — and then see which set of ideas I should believe in.
• My skepticism, which I presume is based on rational thinking an on objective assessment of factual data about myself, is rooted in mental junk.
• My doubts are not product of accurate thinking, but habitual thinking.
• I don’t have to be convinced that I can succeed in making a quantum leap, but I won’t keep believing those old ideas I have been carrying around about my petrosal limits.
• If it would make it easier, hold off for a while on believing anything.
• Just act like you have complete faith. Merely do what you’d do if you knw you were going to succeed. Behave like you have that total conviction.

• Doubt is what does the most damage. So don’t give any mental space. Proceed boldly!

Focus on ends rather than means

• I don’t have to know how I am going to get there, but I need to know where I want to go.
  

• Operate with a clearly defined image of what you want to outcome I seek.
• I Rivet my attention on the spot where I am to land at the end of my quantum leap. I Visualize my arrival. When I do that like I “magnetize” myself.

• I have the potential, the resources are available, the opportunity is there. What has been missing is my decision to go for it.

• You can’t make it happen by struggling harder or insisting on developing the perfect plan.
• If you get too concerned with the step-by-step plan of action to be followed, you’ll find yourself brooding over the potential problems and roadblocks that could be encountered

• You’re not supposed to be concerned about what happened in the middle of the jump…you’re supposed to be thinking about where you are going to land.
• The key is not to get in the way!

Rely on unseen forces

• The unseen forces are phantom powers that cannot be fully explained.
• These unseen forces seem to operate through my subconscious mind, mental imagery, intuition and “luck”,
• I might be hit with a flash of inspiration during a moment of solitude.

• A creative solution to a problem may come to me in a dream.
• A breakthrough idea can flash through my mind while I am visualizing my goal.
• Some how the resources I need just seem to appear by coincidence.
• In one way or the other the forces would dazzle me. count on it!

• These unknowns, these invisible resources are the most powerful factors available to assist me in making the quantum leap to me squared.
• Just as real, though out of sight, are invisible resources ready to make a profound difference in what I can achieve.

Choose a different set of risks

• Ask yourself what are you risking if you do not go for the quantum leap.
• You can never escape risk — understand that.
• Making a quantum leap is not mere gambling.
• You move on an opportunity you’ve been ignoring.
• You abandon your excuses.
• You reframe the problem. You take a completely different chance.

• Risk acting on the assumption that you can succeed in making a quantum leap. Otherwise, the risk is that you will settle for only a fraction of what life has to give you.

Trust in the power of pursuit.

• Pursuit!
• Dreams being to crystallized when they are pursued.
• The world behaved differently when you actually take action to go after what you want.
• Consider this — The dream moves in your direction, begins to come to you, even as you reach for it.

• That which you have achieved is what you decided to go for in one way or another.
• You can “think positively” all day long, all year, but positive action is what counts.
• Most people confuse wishing nd wanting with pursuing. You must place your trust in action.

Seek failure

• Quantum leaps demand a willingness to make mistakes
• Be prepared for the possibility of confusion, anxiety and failure. That’s part of opening yourself up to new methodology that has the potential to deliver exponential performance gains.
• So often in life it seems things first get worse on the way toward getting better. Be prepared for that sort of development .
• They are not prove that your ambitions are futile or you should give up.
• Don’t interprets problems or breakdowns as proof that you should quit, but instead take them as evidence of your growth and improvement
• Failure is a resource. It helps you find the edge of your capabilities
• Unless I allow myself to make mistakes, to fail, I will never have the opportunity to test the limits of what I truly am capable of accomplishing.
• Think of problems or pain or slippage in performance as a positive sign.
• Sometimes, its seems things first get worse on the way toward getting better. Be prepared for that sort of development
• The stress will seduce me toward retreat to the “safety” of the status quo, the trap of the familiar. Just remember this: Failure does not mean I am defeated.

Get Uncomfortable

• Quantum leaps jerk me out of my comfort zone.
• Prepare myself for a pretty wild ride. I’m going to cover some unfamiliar terrain and encounter obstacles, I’ve never faced before.
• The only way you control is by
  1. Knowing where you’re going,
  2. continuing the pursuit
  3. Learning from your mistakes.
• A quantum leaps is an act of faith, exhilarating and possibly scary at the same time.
• If you’re experiencing no anxiety or discomfort, the risk I’m taking isn’t worthy of me.
• you² carries me beyond my commonplace, everyday habits and calls for little more nerve. So, I’d just go into it expecting a touch of anxiety. Uneasiness is a predictable psychological reaction when a quantum leaps is under way.

Courage is not the absence of fear and anxiety, it’s proceeding in spite of those feelings

Open your gifts

• The high achievers, the person you admire, are those individuals who opened their gifts.
• Now it’s time for me to do something with my gifts.
• Use them and grow them to serve me better
• When you make a quantum leap you find out many new things about yourself. you² is a fascinating experience of self-discovery

If you look at those particular skills you have developed over the years, the talents that you have exhibited, you will find they are the gifts you opened and enjoyed.

Fall in love

• Quantum leaps won’t happen if you’re living life with a lukewarm heart.
• Passions is a very important part of the process.

Passion itself must be fueled, and you feed that flame with visions of a dream that is dramatic.

• The emotional intensity inside must burn hot enough to protect me against the chilling effects of doubt, uncertainty, criticism, and failure.
• I must loosen the limits of my thinking and give myself permission to pursue what I want most.
• The power of purpose is profound only if I have a desire that stirs the heart.
• My inner drive must me strong enough to carry me past the point of wishful thinking.
• The dream must consume me, drive me to action, disallowing halfhearted effort in the pursuit.
• Only emotional move holds the power to carry me the distance from me to me² .
• Let the heart take charge of my body.
• If I have a “magnificent obsession” I am poised for a quantum leap.

There must be something worth caring about — something remarkable, special and precious enough to light the fire in my heart

Make your move before you’re ready.

• Don’t bog down in getting prepared for this. Whatever else you need will come as you go.
• You don’t prepare for a quantum leap. You make it and then fine tune your approach.
• First you act, then you frame out the details of your strategy.
• You’ll discover, once underway, that you know more that you know you know. Just trust your instincts.
• Once again, a quantum leap is something you are already prepared to do!It’s not some absurd, wild-eyed scheme that calls for a fantastic stroke of luck just to have an outside chance of working. It’s not an example of your reach exceeding your grasp. And it’s most definitely not a matter of going for some grand goal that calls for painstaking preparation.
• “Getting ready” is quite frankly, a stalling tactic, an act of anxiety, a con game you’re working on yourself.
• I’m already positioned to escape to a higher plane of performance. If I wait until I can get it perfect, I’ll never get it at all.

Look inside for opportunity

• Everything else that’s needed right now, comes from inside of me.
• The opportunity, the timing, the power to perform — these are in me, not in the situation.
• The answers to the answers that remain must come from the voice within.
• Now I must listen to myself. Those are sounds no one else can hear.
• MY DREAMS, MY DESIRES, THE THOUGHTS THAT BURN IN MY HOTTEST MIND, THEY CARRY THE MESSAGES THAT HELP ME FIND MY OWN “MAGNETIC NORTH”. They point the way toward the breakthrough to you² .
• Look inside at what pulls at my consciousness, for there you’ll find direction.
• Everthing else is in postion. Waiting for me.

Just do it. Make the quantum leap!
