2 Percent

2 Percent

 

It takes immense amounts of energy trying to be right 100% of the time. Try doing 100% of the workload all on your own. Can you possibly analyze 100% of the data and information you are subjected to daily? It’s hard to give 100% all of the time in everything you do. The common measurement for life’s grading system essentially comes down to trying to get 100%. Now what really happens with this 100%mentality is we start to compare ourselves to everyone else. Then the mean standard becomes the target, and that leads to the herd mentality.

 

Here is what I find invigorating and productive, try looking at the 2% of things that are on the fringe of the common denominator thinking. This 2% is doing some really cool and fresh stuff. At first glance this stuff may appear to be radical, bizarre and bordering on the crazy. This is where change is found by not falling into a predetermined mindset which is brought on by previous conditioning.

 

It takes great courage to be different out on the fringe and to think in new ways. It may mean facing fears and allowing yourself to break through to a new dimension of growth. It can be scary breaking free of the herd mentality. The 2% have discovered new and novel ways to create and live. This 2% doesn’t focus on the possibility of failure even though it can happen; they focus on what the possibility of this 2% thinking can have on life.

 

Stepping into anew threshold of 2% thinking creates a new playing field. If you make this a daily commitment you will find yourself breaking old habits and patterns. You determine what the 2% is for you. It will be based on what you find fresh and cool, in business, baking, fitness, heck it applies to anything. Now here is the beauty about thinking this way. If your competitors are focusing on the same common denominator 100% as they usually do, your not part of the herd but are an explorer. Your 2% thinking is a great way to differentiate yourself.

 

P.S It is good to surround yourself with people who excel at this 2% mentality. I have been blessed and fortunate in my life to have some amazing people who fit into this category who I have learned from.
