When you shake someone’s hand, just who is shaking whose hand? And the simple answer is: you both are. Yet the person who initiates has the advantage. If someone asks you to ‘tell the truth’ and then you do, that’s not the same as if you initiate by telling the truth before they ask. The same goes for everything else. If I see you take action about something I have not yet asked you to do, I’m far more impressed than if you take action after I ask. In everyday things, which do you initiate and which do you follow someone else’s lead. This is an obvious (yet subtle!) way to show leadership. ————————– These are related: 11 Feedback – 13 Changing Change – 22 Attitude – 24 The Wedge – 31 Being at-Cause – 42 Leadership 43 Desire – 44 After – 59 Hesitation – 63 Free Will – 81 Second Impressions – 82 Limitations 85 Babies – 88 Will Power – 95 Ring/Knock

87 Barriers
A brick wall stops a car but not a butterfly.
But a gauze net will.
Bulletproof glass will stop a bullet
But not the light from a match.
Different things stop different things.
So what stops thought?
Thinking.
Aw, it’s just a thought in my head.
Yes, but that’s all that’s needed to stop other thoughts in your head.
Thinking “I can’t” is a brick wall to “I can.”
And no information as to how you ‘could’ will come to mind.
It can’t.
You put a barrier against that by thinking “I can’t”, remember?
The next time you think “I can’t”, remember who’s doing the thinking
and therefore who’s truly stopping you.
And how easily you can change!
Bring some things to mind that could make it “I can” and
see how quickly your mind also complies to that!

18 Being Triggered
“He makes me nervous,” said the Salesman, entering the boss’s office.
“Hmmm,” said the secretary, “He doesn’t make me nervous.”
Meanwhile the boss is on the phone and doesn’t realize they’re in his office!
Nobody ‘makes’ you anything.
You choose to respond that way.
Maybe once you were influenced to feel that way, but you continue it with parents, friends, coworkers, etc.
The less you are triggered = the closer that person is to you.
The better the friend, the lower the expectations/triggers you have.
Or silently ‘expect’ from them.
Use your eyes and ears to see / hear what is actually going on.
You will be surprised how much has changed. (Notably you!)

You only wish reading one Doodle would do it!
It’s a subconscious cross-index of select different Doodles
to ‘side-step’ your filters, that gets you what you want.
