There is a simple formula that creates access to all success, riches, relationships and opportunity. The formula is ACTION = PERFORMANCE! That being said, there is really only one thing that gets in the way of our dream life every time. CONSIDERATION. More specifically, \u201cTHE MOMENT of CONSIDERATION.\u201d In that one single moment, your life either moves forward or doesn\u2019t.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s a 10\u2019 hammerhead right there where you were free-diving.\u201d Dane turned around, and sure enough there it was a beautiful 10\u2019 hammerhead shark right where had been just seconds before. \u201cI want to jump back in!\u201d He said, still wet from his dive.
\nWhat my son was experiencing was what we all experience. \u201cTHE MOMENT of CONSIDERATION.\u201d In that \u201cMOMENT of CONSIDERATION for all of us, the question is, will we jump or won\u2019t we?
\nWe all consider almost everything before we act. It\u2019s a preservation tool humans develop over time and through experiences we\u2019ve had, or others have related to us through experiences they\u2019ve had.
\nConsideration in this circumstance might look like, \u201cCool a hammerhead! Humm\u202610\u2019 is just a little bigger than me, although a classified \u2018man-eater\u2019 maybe not big enough to go after me. I\u2019m in!\u201d The next thing that might have happened might be Dane eagerly jumping back in.
\nHowever, \u201cTHE MOMENT OF CONSIDERATION,\u201d and preservation, might look quite different if, after climbing onto the boat someone said, \u201cOh my gosh, do you see that? It\u2019s a 20\u2019 great white! You are so lucky man, and right where you were just diving!\u201d That\u2019s where \u201cTHE MOMENT OF CONSIDERATION,\u201d preservation kicks in, and Dane opts out of another free dive with Jaws, and lives.
\nIn the case of Jaws suddenly showing up, \u201cTHE MOMENT of CONSIDERATION\u201d would be a culmination of everything Dane had seen on Shark Week over the past 34 years of life, and his \u201cCONSIDERATION\u201d might sound like, \u201cDo not, under any circumstances jump back into that water!\u201d
\nA cocktail rush of hormones would shoot up his spine, and warm his body from head to toe, as his near death experience would be lived as if he had, in his \u201cMOMENT of CONSIDERATION,\u201d in fact jumped back in, and encountered his 5000 lb. hungry new friend.
\nThe \u201cMOMENT of CONSIDERATION\u201d has saved us countless times over the course of our lives, and arguably arises in us each and every day. That being said, our evolutionary skill has also limited modern people from huge opportunities, amazingly powerful relationships, fame and fortune.
