This is the first of 26 blogs about my journey through the Master Key Experience (MKE). MKE is a 26 week course designed to reprogram my computer called my brain. I am going to program new habits on my terms into my subconscious mind that will replace the bad ones accumulated over my lifetime in order to allow me to enjoy the riches of life.
Are you like me and all of a sudden realize there is not much time left and you have wasted the best years of your life? I am 76 years old, and I refuse to allow my old habits to dictate how I live the years I have left. We all are born with a brand new, state of the art, computer for a brain. During the first seven years or so our brains absorb everything we hear and see. This is when the subconscious part of our mind, the part that controls 95% of our decisions, is programmed.
For example, have you ever consciously known you should be doing something important, but wind up doing something completely different? The habits which control these actions can’t be helped. They either enrich or stifle our lives. So now the journey begins to replace the stifling habits with enriching ones.
Well, here I am, back in school after over 50 years. I feel like I’m starting my freshman year of college again. I’ve gathered all my supplies, and am trying to decipher all the instructions.
Organization is another matter however. The lack thereof is one of the reasons I’m taking the course. I am studying the materials and attempting to catch up. It is very difficult for me because I don’t (not can’t) stay focused on one thing at a time. I get distracted by unimportant and inane things. At the end of the day I wind up accomplishing nothing.
The things I have accomplished are as follows. I have been reading “Scroll I” of The Greatest Salesman in the World 3 times/day as Og Mandino instructs and The Blueprint Builder (BPB) 2 times daily out loud with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, I have been reading the Master Key and am finding it difficult to comprehend. Much more work is required for that. And as far as revising my Definite Main Purpose (DMP), there is a lot to catch up on by Friday. I will get on track however.
Wow, Jim – you are an inspiration! The desire to create new habits that will create your new blueprint is the first of many steps on this journey to realize a new outer world.
Inspiring. No matter where we are in our life, if you want to be better, you will be.
This is great Jim! You have started the best journey of your life, a self-discovery adventure.
Great first blog, Jim! Enjoy the journey!
