me that you feel completely out of your own skin and people comment on how you are completely not yourself lately. If you are someone who is totally single minded on a goal all the time, start being the type of person who is completely distracted all the time. Of course, you don't want to do this when it will get you physically hurt or cause you to lose your job or marriage, but start to just look around the world around you. You want to swing so far to the opposite extreme that it is extremely uncomfortable for you. Most people are not willing to step more than maybe an itty bitty bit outside their comfort zone. This is not the way to growth. It is the way to move a little itty Many people are on the path of personal development, but often times they never realize what that truly means. To get the best results in life, we often have to move so far outside our comfort zones that we are constantly in a state of being uncomfortable. This is the quickest method to get the changes you want. So many people take baby steps to get to where they want to go and are proud of a tiny bit of movement. As though pulling their car backwards five inches is a wonderous thing when they are trying to get to California from New York city. If you want to get to California from New York as quickly as possible, you need to put your car in high gear and the peddle all the way to the floor. In fact, just go steal a jet plane and fly. Here is how to do this in your personal development.

The first thing that you need to understand is that there are always opposites, and you need to understand where you are first and what the opposite of where you are is. To start, take note of what your weaknesses and your strengths are. You must know where you are as so many people want to know where they are going and never take the time to figure out where they are so they know what they have to do to get there. As I often say, you can't get there from not here. So where is here? Figure out where you are, what your strengths are, and what your weaknesses are. Once you do this, then you can begin to work in the directions that you need to work in.

Once you realize where you are, now you can start to get to work. Start to list what the opposites of each of these traits are, both the strengths and the weaknesses. You will want to work on both as this is where true power and balance is. Say your strength is in your ability to stay focused on a goal at hand with a single mindedness until that goal is acomplished. This is a very powerful and positive trait, however, the opposite would be complete sponteneity and unfocused energy. There are times where a single minded focus can get in the way of progress as it keeps your mind only on one thing. There are times when the ability to completely break outside of the rules and the goal and the path to get there can be the most productive path. Both of these traits have their place and time, and both can get the results needed when used properly. If your weakness is that you are lazy and procrastinate to much, then the opposite would be that you work way to much and never take time for yourself to relax and take in some fresh air. Again, both of these have their time and place in one's life. The trick is to know when to use which one.

So what do you do with this information once you have the opposites? Well, you start living in those opposites in so much of an extreme that you feel completely out of your own skin and people comment on how you are completely not yourself lately.

The more you swing to the opposite extreme, the quicker you will get to center where you have the option of being both.

Once you work on this for a bit, you now have a whole new world that will open up to you. There will be times when you are able to become single mindedly focused on a goal as well as the ability to adapt and shift around any problems that come along. As a river flows smoothly from one place to the next twisting and winding as naturally as the rain falls. You too will have the ability to naturally fit in where needed. You will be able to push forward when you have to, but also have the ability to let go and shift directions at a moments notice. Balance gives us options, and balance is created by movement in the extremes. Work on the opposite side of the spectrum from where you are, and do so in as much of an extreme as you can. This will create the quickest results and the best ability to begin to open up options in your life.
