Have you ever felt overwhelmed by life’s complexities? Caught in a whirlwind of emotions and uncertainties? Many of us seek quick fixes, turning to faith, meditation, or positive affirmations. While these approaches can offer temporary relief, they may not provide lasting solutions.
When you experience your pressure dropping, your energy levels are low. Imagine being at work, feeling like your sugars are slowly dropping and you are craving something sweet. These physical experiences cause an overwhelming effect where you just have to find a quick solution.
However, when it comes to navigating the complex and challenging situations of life, you tend to feel the same fainting spells of pressure or sugar drop, but this time, mentally. That is where the chaos begins. You want to take control of things. You want to make sure that you do everything right. But when things don’t happen your way or you see life giving you lemons, you start to get stressed.
As a result, you look for quick fixes from measures that are too relevant for such patch-up work. For instance, you want to work on positive affirmations every morning to make sure you get a promotion at work. But are you working enough to prove yourself worthy of such a raise? You want to make sure you travel abroad and settle there but are you able to work towards your goal by taking winning financial steps? You want to stay calm but your nerves won’t take no for an answer. So, you decide to meditate every morning. However, what are you doing to dissolve the issue that is causing you stress every day?
Practices like meditation, positive affirmations, and faith-based beliefs are deep and valuable resources to tap into, but some people use them as quick fixes. For instance, passion can take you to a certain extent but it won’t last long. In that case, what does?
That is when you need to create a healthy and strong habit channel that allows you to improve the circumstances of your life.
Biggie: “Welcome to Project Power. Over the last months, we’ve been going from city to city in a kind of… let’s call them clinical trials. Our footprint is small, and we move on quickly to avoid unwanted oversight. Our goal is simple. The next evolution of the human species. That’s where you come in. With your financing, Teleios could become the most powerful company in the world. What’s in it for you? It’s in the headline. Power to level the playing field. Or, if you like, destroy it entirely. Power to create chaos. Power to renegotiate your reality. One day, you won’t even need a pill.”
Investor: “Pretty words. Be more specific.”
Biggie was a villain in the movie called Project Power. It was about the abilities extracted from animals, enhanced, and then consumed by humans to exert supernatural abilities for a period of five minutes. In those five minutes, you may generate a power specific to you and based on the animal’s capabilities that you consumed. People who wanted to control and manipulate situations by using the force of power consumed these power pills to enhance their abilities, just like quick fixes.
These abilities were not to be taken lightly. They were even harmful to their hosts. Nevertheless, the pills were sold in the black market to experiment on people and analyze their effects.
Robin: “Okay. So, what’s your power? I know you took it.”
Art: “I tried it once. Damn near killed me, hurt a lot of people. So, I said, I’m not trying that stuff no more.”
Art was the main character of the movie. He realized soon enough that the quick-fix power pill was short-lived, five minutes to be exact but could also create an addiction and cause a fatal overdose. He could turn into a powerful superhuman for five minutes but had no control over the harmful effects. It was just a feel-good remedy that could develop the worst kinds of addiction in people, which is why he sought to put a stop to the manufacturing of this dangerous pill.
“There are no quick fixes for the complexities of life. Just Realization with Repetition.”
~Krescon Coaches
We think that faith-based solutions, affirmations, or meditation processes will always work. They do work but there is also some work to be done at your end. At the heart of navigating life’s challenges lies the R with R technique: Realization with Repetition. This approach encourages us to:
1. Realize ourselves: Gain a deep understanding of our strengths, instincts, and unique abilities.
2. Repeat the right practices: Implement logical, analytical, and practical strategies that align with our self-awareness.
While many people follow these three tracks of faith, meditation, and affirmations, it’s essential to recognize the power of Track #4: Self-Awareness and Repeated Action. By combining these elements, we can:
· Break free from limiting beliefs: Overcome fears and self-doubt that may hinder our progress.
· Make informed decisions: Approach life’s challenges with clarity and purpose.
· Achieve lasting results: Create a sustainable path towards personal growth and fulfillment.
Realization without Repetition is like a ship without a sail, and vice versa. Both are essential for navigating life’s journey. By understanding ourselves and consistently applying the right practices, we can:
· Harness our inner potential: Unlock our hidden strengths and capabilities.
· Overcome obstacles: Face challenges with resilience and determination.
· Create a meaningful life: Build a fulfilling existence based on self-awareness and intentional action.
In a world filled with uncertainty, the R with R technique offers a roadmap to navigate life’s challenges with clarity and purpose. By realizing ourselves as who we are and repeating the right practices, we can break free from limiting beliefs, make informed decisions, and create a meaningful life.
Here is a short but beautiful poem that speaks volumes about the quick fixes we crave in life when our SiQ levels are low and do not fuel our R with R compass.
Patches by Tony Noon
Meatball surgery they called it.
The way they had to fix people
to send them back to front lines.
Away from it, we are all familiar
with the way patches are applied
to make our creaking systems fit.
In the every day we maybe think
such things belong to other lives
but we see quick fixes everywhere.
