I’m on currently on a private jet (a Citation X…the fastest private jet in the sky!) on my way to Toronto from Seattle. I’m travelling with my amazing good friend Bob Proctor and we are in the middle of designing a new leadership program that we believe is absolutely transformational. Bob and I have a combined 90 years of living life from the leadership framework that is the basis of this program (we are two of the true seniors in this industry!). And you will soon have access to what will literally be the most transformational leadership program in existence today.
I love the question “what if...?”!
The possibilities that are awakened when I look at what is and consider “what if…?” are profound. The magic of the question is that it has the potential to move my experience of current reality into another dimension…the dimension of the ideal.
Possibilities don't exist in reality. If they did they would be examples! As a leader, I want to be in the position to manifest examples of my ideals…in my life and in my organization. When I look around I see examples of ideal possibilities existing in the lives of others. How do I manifest them into my life and my organization so that they are tangible examples of my dreams in reality?
The secret to this from a leadership perspective begins when I approach the future “as if” it already existed. I literally need to learn to live the future as if it existed today!
And, it actually does. This is 4th Dimensional Leadership. It’s not a form of magical thinking. It is the intentional act of living today as if the future were already here! The power of this is transformational…it moves me out of the paradigm from which I habitually live my life and into a different dimensional reality.
Let’s look at the phenomenon of time. It’s a paradigm that everyone lives within. Typically, when we think of time most of us think of it in a linear way…it has a past, a present, and a future. What’s useful to consider is what constitutes our experience of the present and ultimately creates our future? For all of us it’s a combination of the past and the future converging in this moment we call the present. For the overwhelming majority of people on the planet this combination is hugely dominated by the past. Most people live out their lives behaving in the present as if it was a continuation of their past. And, most people believe their futures to be the natural development of what has transpired in the past. In fact, most people view reality and interact with what they assume is reality with a mind and a body steeped in the past. Consequently, if a different future is desired it’s typically and quickly reduced to wishful thinking or futile day dreaming.
Time is the 4th dimension. It’s perhaps the most powerful dimension in which we exist because it contains all possibilities! Creation is finished...the entire content of all space and time actually coexists as possibilities in an infinite now. Instead of a horizontal line composed of a past, a present and a future, imagine a vertical line that is composed only of NOW. Imagine time as a vertical dimension in which all possibilities – all things that ever were and all things that ever could be – exist now. What if you could position yourself and your organization in this "vertical dimension" so that the possibilities you desire were manifested now? What would be required? The answer to this question is the focus of 4th Dimensional Leadership.
Stay tuned...there is more to come!
