RECORD SETTERS?

How do we measure?

The bigger question, for most people, is ….

Why do we measure?

Non-Master Key students….or any other authentic self development course where facilitators do not influence the thoughts of members, [good luck finding that 🙂 ], are forever trapped in measuring to compare.   That’s sad…and really the point of Haanel’s Lesson Seventeen.

People, trapped in a culture that measures

• how do you measure up?
• who you are behind?
• who you are ahead of?
• How much do you make?

These type of “measurers” all have a map to the exact same destination.   Never enough. Never, ever enough.

We’ll shatter that nonsense in week 18 but for now, let’s send all the love we can muster to those trapped in constantly measure….status, achievement level,

income…because, somehow, they just don’t get it is a dead-end road.   The need some love and if they feel it, it may ignite some hope…and they may find their path, not someone else’s path.

You see, other people’s path or our perception of them leads to “symbols” and those “symbols” lead to the illusion of power.   Master Key members know their is only one power a person has is control over only one thing.  Thought.

KINDNESS

Once someone understands this, practices and masters controlling their thoughts, they automatically algin themselves with Universal Law or Mind or God…call it what you will.   And now the acqusition of a home, car, promotion is confirmation of power…it comes from within.

So how and why do Master Key members or students like myself measure?

9 words…move us from “comparing” to “creating” and that is minor distinction with massive ramifications.   We’ll all figure out what those are but if we start with these 9 words, everything changes.   We are not measuring ourselves to see how much power we have or have not.   We are measuring to improve ourselves…to celebrate those who came before us and blazed the trail…

The 9 words?

What did I do right?

What can I improve?

So we wanted to improve the number of kindnesses MasterKeyExperience members doled out this year.

Last year, during this past week, we asked the members to spot or do 2 acts of kindness a day…and kindly go the extra mile and acknowledge others efforts and kindnesses. Through Friday, last year, they hit 3292 RAKs [random acts of kindness including the kind act of noting other’s kind gestures]…and we tossed that out to this years group, promising I’d go out and give a hug for each member…if they met that challenge.

So last year the group …what did they do right?  3292 RAKs an a whole lot more…they touched and were touched by the live’s and kindness of other.

This years group?  We pushed kindness out at blistering pace..pushing close to 8000 kindnesses in 6 days… ones the committed, noticed or complimented others on seeing.

What can we do better?  Keep it up!

Give more kindness….Emerson’s Law takes over, give more, get more so that not only is the act itself it’s own reward…the Universe showers it back…and so it did….just in the members area alone….new connections, mastermind princple understood….a vitality many had never known….including me.

Here is the significant difference between understanding, which these members do and the world’s reasons for measuring.

The 2013 session was rooting for all of us….feeling like part of a legacy.  That group made the world a little bit better….and this group built on it.  The 2104 members don’t feel like they “beat” last year’s members..they honored them.  The don’t feel like they have power over them or they are better…they are one.  They never lost site of the real objective…being kind.  And this year, the 2015 session vets duplicated the attitude of ’13 & ’14 sessions.  They rooted for this session, they pitched in with the hope the pace they set, the records they would be broken.

How do I know?

When they hit 4600+ an moved past the kindnesses of last year…..the dug in deeper…upping the kindness daily…every day there were more.  It was not about beating someone and winning…the real winners, they GOT IT….the real winners were those who simply, like the previous session, wanted to make the world a kinder place.

And…I promised if they make it kinder [what can I improve] 2 things would happen…they’d begin to realize their own incredible power and the worlds they live in would be sweeter.

So I got my promise of hugging 200+ peeps if they got to 4000… I promised if they did 8000 I’d got for 400, me and the guides.   Well, 7800 was close enough for me, I did the 400 with Dayna…but the winner was  connecting all of us with a measure of love for the competitive, combative world does not understand….YET!  World, we are coming….with kindness….these hugs are for you and those who paved the way

Speaking of hugs, I’m looking forward to huggin’ all the MKMMA members hitting our annual Retreat

keep giving to keep growing
