What is your Axiom?

My sons received the movie, WALL-E, for Christmas. There is a spaceship in that movie named Axiom. To me, that was a strange thing to name a ship so I looked up the definition of axiom. If you remember back to your math, an axiom was something that was accepted and didn’t need to be proven, but, there are other definitions. Two of them are, ‘taken for granted’ and ‘not questioned’. Those are the definitions that seemed to fit.

These definitions also got me to thinking about the axioms we have in our life. These are our “that’s just the way it is,” assumptions. Axioms are what keep people doing the same ol’ even if they don’t like to do it. In the movie, two people’s lives receive interruptions which cause them to see their world with different eyes. They have lived aboard the spaceship all of their lives but they only discover the ship has a pool after their familiar world is disrupted.

I would challenge you to interrupt your world. Start questioning the things in your life that you take for granted. Ask, “what if” questions to open your mind to new possibilities. Step out of the familiar. See the world from a fresh viewpoint.

Most people do not start a home based business because it is “unfamiliar” and “not normal”. They also live lives that gives their power to things outside themselves such as their job or their boss or even their friends. Take a fresh look at this. Take control of your life. Change your axioms.

Are you smarter than a flea?

Fleas can be studeied for their behavior. They are an amazing group of beings with amazing capabilities. If humans had their jumping capabilities in proportion to their size, we could jump 30 story buildings and land over two football fields away from a standing jump.

If you put these fleas in a jar with a lid, they have an initial desire to try to escape by jumping out. Initially, they will bounce off the lid. After awhile, they start aiming to miss the lid to avoid impact. When they start doing that, you can remove the lid and they will not escape.

Many people are like the fleas. When they initially discover that they are in a situation that they do not like, they try to get out of it. One solution for a money problem is to start a home based network marketing business. After experiencing some rejection pain, they start aiming to miss. They go through enough activity to convince themselves that they are “working their business” but they aren’t doing enough to succeed.

Working a business demands consistent output with the risk of pain before you succeed. That’s just the nature of the business. Keep your eye on where you want to get to and keep striving.
