The document discusses the complexity of human behavior and the futility of seeking step-by-step instructions for success.

Float Through Life Like A Butterfly
- 2. Many people crave a step by step method of doing something.
- 3. Just tell me how to make money and I'll do it.
- 4. Just tell me what to say to him/her to make them like me and I'll do it.
- 5. Just tell me what to say in an interview and I'll do it.
- 6. Just tell me how to lose weight and I'll do it.
- 7. The problem with this thinking is twofold. One is that humans are incredibly complex.
- 8. WAY more than anybody even realizes.
- 9. Meaning that even if you were to go back in time, and follow Bill Gates around since he was a little kid, you still might not be able to reproduce his behaviors and results.
- 10. Unless you WERE him, and could see the world the way he did, and respond to opportunities that way he did, you wouldn't get the same results.
- 12. Everybody has their own unique set of skills, learning styles, and desires.
- 13. For example, many rich people only got rich because they were always DESPERATELY afraid of being poor.
- 14. I don't know about you, but imagining some scary poverty monster chasing me my whole life doesn't sound like a lot of fun!
- 15. Another reason is that hoping to be told "what to do" is not such a great idea is because it's not really the best question.
- 16. The truth about you is that you came into this world ALREADY preprogrammed to LEARN ANYTHING you need to learn.
- 17. Which means you don't need to do more stuff in order to get whatever you want, you've got to do less stuff.
- 18. What stuff?
- 19. Stuff like listening to and believing those self doubts every time you've got a good idea.
- 20. Stuff like actually believing those memories where somebody told you you COULDN'T do something.
- 21. Stuff like that silly idea the failure is bad, or giving the wrong answer means you're stupid, or asking "stupid" questions means you're not as smart as everybody else.
- 22. I saw a goofy commercial once where a guy pulled into a service station, and wanted to know why he was getting such poor gas mileage. The attendant looked in his trunk and saw about 300 pounds of exercise weights.
- 23. "There's your problem!" He said.
- 24. Eject all that junk you've been lugging around all this time, and you'll feel fantastic.
