There is so much material out there on how to be a success in your life. If you can rise above all that and understand the universal laws of nature you will be able to discern what will be good for you and will not. The idea of this video is to give you an understanding of success from the point of view of nature. As you may remember, we have clearly stated in the past that nature, the universe, want your success more than you Do. It’s on wise to argue with nature. Please enjoy.

00:26 It doesn’t take rocket science. For us to acknowledge that the beauty of nature is the beauty of human beings. That the environment determines what shape and size we will grow into as a tree that loving and caring for nature is a part of our DNA. 00:48 And that sometimes we have to hire in an arborist to prune off or cut off things that have some people grow to be giants amongst others and you wonder whether that’s part of their DNA or just whether it was luck. 01:07 There are fruits of our labor and as a tree we all produce some sort of output. Hugging a tree makes us feel right at home and so there’s something very organic. 01:22 Even at Christmas people use a tree to symbolize the sacred. And if we look deeply enough there’s beauty everywhere. G’day guys, welcome back. 01:35 We’re still continuing on the philosophy of success. I’ve got cars outside the door revving their engines. I don’t know why but I think maybe it’s flat battery day. 01:46 So please excuse the background noise. I don’t have an insulated working laboratory here. Let’s go through where we were up to before. 02:01 Treat yourself a success. Today I want to talk about you as a tree. One of the things I pride myself on with the inner wealth work is not inventing or coming up with the philosophy that you can’t own or let’s say take pride in examining for yourself. 02:20 I don’t ask you to trust anything. I say I say go out and prove it to yourself. If it’s true in nature it must be true for you. 02:31 We’ve run through a little bit of preamble with this video. So I’ll get straight into it. We know that a human being and the growth of a human being in the world and the growth of a tree have a lot in common. 02:43 Now the one unifying or let’s say a unifying thing about a human being is we can choose what we think. 02:50 And so there’s a lot, it would appear on first examination. There’s going to be a lot of differences. But maybe not. 03:00 Let’s have a look. First thing we must acknowledge always with the work is we go in the direction of our dominant thought. 03:10 So the question is going to be for you, whether you go in the direction of problem solving. In other words, your life is trying to fix things up that are broken or whether you have a core focus to your life and whether you’re heading in that direction. 03:25 And I think this is the biggest question of all. I honestly believe that people who spend their life trying to fix their family, fix their work, fix their life, fix their health, they are in a very, very difficult situation because it’s the equivalent to making branches that are healthy. 03:44 And as we’ve just talked about, we get arborists to come in and prune those branches. They are not really the core truth of the whole thing. 03:53 So we go in the direction of our dominant thought. If your dominant thoughts are being distracted by problem solving, maybe that’s a good place to start in your coaching and your personal development is to work out how to hold focus on your dominant thought and make that a thing you wish to manifest 04:11 . The second thing we know about the human being and the human condition is it’s always evolving. Just like a tree, it’s got growth rings, we have growth rings, we’re expanding. 04:24 And so any proposition that says to you, if you do this, you will have peace, is lying. Any proposition that says if you find a vision, you will be happy. 04:34 Is lying. What this is a journey, it’s a process and it goes from confidence to incompetence, to competence, to incompetence, and the quicker you understand it, the quicker you understand the second law of nature, which is the law of growth. 04:49 We grow through stuff. We grow into competence and we grow into incompetence. And being afraid of our incompetence means we become resistant to change. 05:01 We become reluctant to move forward. We become a little more abundant. And that’s in nature’s world, it would be called a toxic swamp or a cesspool. 05:16 And we end up trying to turn a rock cake into a cheesecake. We try to make or as Krishna Murji said, decorate the prison cell. 05:28 We need always to be growing into incompetence. And as uncomfortable as that may sound, it’s called the human spirit. And it’s fun like hell. 05:37 I promise. So let’s just go down now and start looking at this. The first thing to acknowledge is that we are a receiving and broadcasting system. 05:49 We are a light bulb. We are a genius. We have this mind on top of our head, which sends thoughts down into the body to an actor. 05:57 It’s much, it’s a really great affirmation. I think of yourself as a glowing light bulb that receives electricity from the power source, which is your body, your soul, your all your bits and pieces, but it has the freedom to light up and ignite what it does. 06:15 That’s the human spirit. We’ve also covered this in a previous video. We’ve talked about leadership. Leadership has four components. Where we are. 06:27 Where we want to be. Where we soon will be. And way, way off in the distance where we’re going. It, it, it, leadership is all about leading people into the future in other words. 06:41 And if we are careful, we’ll try to make that a straight line. We’ll try to make that an all we can get distracted and start building branches, which is not the core trunk of leadership. 06:55 Leadership is the core trunk of the tree. So continuing on here. All of life is is build up of patterns and to the ignorant or to the fragmented person or the nervous person or the stressed out person or the insecure person, everything looks like absolute chaos. 07:18 It’s going all over the place. And to that person, they spend their whole life trying to turn order or turn chaos into order. 07:27 They spend their entire existence fighting fires fighting to have a better holiday than last time trying to not be fired from their job, just fighting fires always stressed. 07:39 But it’s not the truth. There is an order out here in the chaos. Pre-existing and the question is can you see it and can you run your life in harmony with that order and let go of the need for drama? 07:56 When I ask a person to do their VIP school, it’s interesting to see how much we fluctuate based on our perceptions of where we are in each of the seven areas of life. 08:07 And I think it’s really important to own our emotional equation so we know where the work needs to be on a daily weekly monthly basis. 08:16 But it’s also wise to understand that there’s order in the chaos and actually you are 10 out of 10 at a let’s say in a wealth level in all seven areas of life. 08:28 This is the ultimate expression of gratitude. Moving right on along, everybody has a Mount Everest. We must and it’s very important to nominate what that is. 08:41 Now I know you’ll say some people will say it’s life balance or it’s a happy family or something tried. But I’m talking about an achievement out there in the world a contribution to the planet I give with being through it before the gratitude inspiration vision and enthusiasm. 08:59 We’ve nominated, we’ve suggested that everybody can contribute to this planet in a really powerful way and end up on their tombstone with something that says more than he was a great or she was a great dad or mum or friend. 09:15 So we’re looking for the order in the chaos and let’s have a quick look now how what that’s got to do with trees and birds and chirping things. 09:23 We start off as a sea to tie little sea and we we grow through and develop beliefs as we do we’re getting bigger in the world. 09:32 We develop a mind with knowledge with awareness, with emotions and all the things and now we get a body which can take us places with our emotions that drive us and then we get our world which is the seven areas of life. 09:46 There’s family, there’s financial, there’s social, there’s career, there’s health, there’s mental, there’s all the seven areas of life and the question we’re always asking is which direction do we grow? 10:01 How do we grow the trunk vertically up so that the branches have something to lever off? Now what happens typically is people suddenly get a problem in their family and they say oh my family life is most important to me and they start growing a branch which will at some point require an arborist because 10:22 this tree is going to fall down. So what we’re looking to do is not get distracted by objectives which are actually branch objectives which are the seven areas of life as I’ve shown down here on this little diagram. 10:38 There’s the seven areas of life and this is a picture of a person who’s become distracted trying to grow each of the seven areas individually as if they are the trunk, trying to fix them, trying to fix this, trying to fix this and this is not a great way to operate in life. 10:59 So the question you’re going to ask yourself which I find fascinating is if we take this diagram up and we put it, we overlap it back onto our, if I can do it properly, overlap it over the top of original diagram of the trees, the question we’re going to ask ourselves is does this pyramid go in this 11:24 direction? Does the pyramid grow outputs? So in other words, does it grow from got to up to the top of the tree in consciousness or does it grow in a completely other direction? 11:46 Does it grow in terms of our well-being? Does it grow in the opposite direction which would be in this way? 11:59 What we’re asking ourselves always over and over again, we can find that diagram up here, we can bring her back down, move it down the page and we’re asking ourselves over and over again, what is the top of the tree? 12:13 What is the top of the tree? What is the top of the consciousness tree? Is it love to or has it got to? 12:25 And this is a very important question for everybody to be asking, where does it all start? What do you follow? 12:33 This person with this diagram is saying, I have seven areas of life that I have ambition to build out and so I’m going to put the top of my tree, the very top branch of my tree, I’m going to put that as all the things that I want out of life and I’m going to draw a diagram with seven areas of life at 12:55 the very top of my tree and do everything I can to build that out. That’s what this person said but I wonder if they wouldn’t be wiser to consider the idea that this picture is an image turned upside down if I could ever do it and actually the top of the tree is the sole the top of the tree up here 13:40 this is the sole and it drives down through the seven areas of life to build the seven areas of life at the bottom as the base of the tree. 13:54 So in other words what is my what is my sole what are my beliefs what is my mind telling me what is my body want going down through the levels until it gets to the very bottom which says what is the fruit that I produce from all of that inspiration at the top this would mean that we would need to spend 14:15 a significant amount of our life and our time focused on salt talk focus on connecting to the soul and many people do it by meditation but I think that’s daydreaming a lot of meditation doesn’t function because it’s daydreaming I’m not suggesting meditation doesn’t work what I’m saying is quite often 14:35 people are daydreaming what I’m saying here is that if we get to the love of nature if we do vision quests if we connect to our soul through looking for beauty and nature we will understand how to go through our beliefs and make our beliefs what we need them to be move through our our mindset move through 14:57 our body awareness move down through into the seven areas of life and finally we want the feminine aspect of life manifest things we maintain them and the masculine aspect of life destroys them more about that later in the meantime I hope this challenge is your mind it was a good opportunity to demonstrate 15:23 how we are exactly like a tree and the top leaf of the tree is determining everything about that tree from Wodego this is Chris you have a beautiful day bye for now
