The Power of the 3: Creating An Intelligent Individual pt.2

“Whenever we embrace the positivity in our emotions, then we can see a collaboration between the three  beginning to form.”

I want to begin by saying Thank You! Thank You! Thank you! Thank you all for staying with me over the course of this 5 part series entitled “Put in Extra: Think + Work + Emotion = Intelligence.” We have reached the finale and I hope that you have enjoyed this journey. If you have made it thus far I hope you have gained valuable knowledge that you can take with you.

In the finale of the series, we will be discussing part two in regards to The Power of the 3. During this feature in we will discuss the power of combining our thinking, our work, and our emotions. When all 3 are in agreement, we become all that we have desired and our intelligence is reflected. As usual, I invite you to not only read, but also feel free to share your thoughts and comments as we continue on our journey towards understanding intelligence.

The key to unlock the hidden potential between the thinker and the worker lies within how you choose to use your emotions. How we choose to use our emotions determines how effective our thinking will be, which in return determines how productive our work will be. Whenever our emotions are in a positive or a negative space, our brain is trained to process the information and communicate an action. The information communicated from our brain, which is triggered by an emotion is going to produce either favorable or unfavorable actions in return.  This is why the art and the mastery of our emotions is so important. The art of our emotions creates the beauty between our thought process and our work. In the end we essentially conclude with a development called The Power of the 3.

We must closely monitor how much mental capacity we are using to store constructive emotions. Whenever we embrace the positivity in our emotions, then we can see a collaboration between the three  beginning to form. The type of collaboration that is forming embraces the positivity in our emotions where our mindset and thinking becomes strategic. The type of collaboration that is forming embraces the positivity in our emotions where our work begins to manifest ideas. The type of collaboration that is forming embraces the positivity in our emotions where our perception on thinking + working is more satisfying. 

When you get to a point where you are able to consistently strategize and work through your ideas that are rooted from constructive emotions, then you will be in a natural state where you can be most effective. Once your emotions are in an arrangement of comprehensible thinking and practical planning you are able to see the revolution from your strategy into direct results.

At this stage a change in perception becomes visible on the basis of THE POWER OF THE 3. Notice now, that we have empowered ourselves where we free ourselves from limitations in our thinking. We have empowered ourselves from limitations in our ability. It is all because we had a shift in power over our emotions…and now it’s time to dominate.  With the shift in power, we open new doors and dimensions in the way we think and the way we work. We no longer become stagnant, because we are now are able to recognize boundaries which we have allowed our emotions to unconsciously create. Instantly we are able to progress and bulldoze through those same boundaries. In these moments, nothing can stop us because we have the power over our emotions to consciously breakthrough any boundaries, obstacles or challenges standing n our way.

And In the end there is only one thing anybody can say about you…..

“Now that is what I call an Intelligent Individual!”

The Power of the 3: Creating an Intelligent Individual Pt.1

“Nevertheless, whenever we take all three; thinking, working, and our emotions and input them into an action; we maneuver at intelligent levels.”

Here we go again and thank you for joining me for part four of the series entitled “Put in Extra: Think + Work + Emotion = Intelligence.

In this fourth installment of the series, we will be discussing The Power of the 3. This will be a two part series during this feature in which we discuss the power of combining our thinking, our work, and our emotions. When all 3 are in agreement, we become all that we have desired and our intelligence is reflected. As usual, I invite you to not only read, but also feel free to share your thoughts and comments as we continue on our journey towards understanding intelligence.

Take note from the previous posts in this series. If you only possess the intelligence gene and not the hard-working gene then you lack the above; The Power of the 3. If you only possess the hard-working gene and not the intelligence gene then you lack the above; The Power of the 3. Whenever you put the two together, you become more valuable and more profitable. Remember that when you are able to operate and function efficiently with your thoughts, work, and emotions then you provide value and profit through your actions. 

Now that you understand the importance of The Power of the 3, you may be wondering; What is the actual ending result of The Power of the 3? Well I am here to enlighten you with the most powerful result of them all. Once you understand how to properly function between The Power of the 3, now you have become An Intelligent Individual.

How can we become well-rounded in order to create ourselves into an intelligent individual? How can we be well-rounded in order to create the most productive worker? How can we become well-rounded in order to create the emotional intelligence needed to produce efficient actions? We use all 3 together and find a balance to function at an elevated adequacy.

Sometimes the hardest working one in the room is not always the most productive. Individuals that are natural thinkers have an advantage compared to an individual who only knows how to work hard. The thinking individual exalts less energy to produce efficient results. An individual that works hard realizes that in order to get maximum results, they not only have to do more, but they must work smarter. Hard workers need to spend more time using strategic action in order to deliver results to counter. In the same instance, the thinkers in the room do not always have the most effective working strategy. Individuals that are hard workers by nature have an advantage compared to the thinkers in the room. The hardest working one in the room spends more time taking steps to accomplish their goal, The thinkers in the room realize that they must not only think smart, but they also must put their thinking into action. The thinkers need to find more efficient ways to put action to their ideas in order to counter.

Nevertheless, whenever we take all three; thinking, working and our emotions and input them into an action; we maneuver at intelligent levels.

The X-FACTOR: Recognition

“Our secret weapon or our X-Factor is ready. We have the ability to recognize triggers in our emotions and we are now at an advantage. At this stage, we are able to work, think and act more productively, which puts us in a state of intelligence. “

On this third segment of the series, we will be learning more about our X-Factor: Recognition. Recognizing our emotions can become one of our most powerful skills if we engage in analyzing ourselves closely. Once again, I invite you to not only read, but also to feel free to share your thoughts and comments as we continue this series.

Recognition is a huge factor in becoming more intelligent with our emotions. We must recognize the role our emotions play in order to operate and function to the best of our ability. Once we take the time to recognize our emotions, then we become intelligent in how we think, work and  react to certain circumstances more productively. At this point in the recognition phase we can analyze ourselves closer and become more aware and responsible for our actions. 

Every decision we make is an opportunity to analyze ourselves and every opportunity we gain to analyze ourselves is a new opportunity to gain a new understanding of our emotions.

For example, I focus on always viewing myself as a brand. If we do a SWOT analysis on our brand then we can create a clearer picture. Ask yourself: What are my strengths? What are my weaknesses? What opportunities develop during these moments? What threats are relevant? Whenever we are able to analyze ourselves similarly to a brand, then we can plan and function clearer. This is helpful towards identifying whether the emotions that we produce are consistently helping our journey to success.

Through emotional intelligence, we gain recognition skills that help to differentiate between our emotions. We learn how we respond with our emotions  through different actions and through different effects.

Psychologically these emotions occur during a natural response during the fight vs. flight responses in our bodies. In the fight response our bodies show emotions that stimulate from an attack mode response. During the flight response our bodies show emotions that stimulate through an escape mode response. Following either response, our body then goes to a state of relaxation because our warning responses have all been turned off. Whenever warning signs strike we can recognize the responses of our own emotions.

Our secret weapon or our X-Factor is ready. We have the ability to recognize triggers in our emotions and we are now at an advantage. At this stage, we are able to work, think and act more productively, which puts us in a state of intelligence. 

Once we become emotionally intelligent then our thinking becomes more rewarding and our work becomes more valuable . When our emotions are in line then our effort in our tasks comes with a gain. We gain mental capacity, then our mental capacity provides more efficient effort in our tasks, which in turn equals more productivity.

So, why is that so important? Because our time is valuable. Have you ever heard the saying “time is money”? Productivity equals higher potential for profit. Our thoughts, our work and our effort are all intertwined with our emotions and when everything is functioning effectively we find more ways to produce profitable results.

Emotions vs. The Belief in Yourself as a Thinker vs. The Belief in Yourself as Doer

“Whenever we build on our emotional intelligence, we are able to operate at the top of our game. NO WORRIES, yes it is the 4th quarter, yes the clock is ticking, but when the ball is in my hand and the game is on the line…. I become MJ while the circumstance becomes the Utah Jazz in the 98′ Finals.”

Thank you for joining me for part two of the series entitled “Put in Extra: Think + Work + Emotion = Intelligence”. If you have not already begun following the blog updates, I invite you to follow along by entering your email address below and clicking the “follow” button.

 During this portion of our series, we will be taking a closer look at our belief in ourselves as a thinker vs. our belief in ourselves as a doer. When we look at the two, it is essential to understand how the two are shaped around our emotions. Please take the time to not only read, but also feel free to share your thoughts as we continue this series.

We are all put in circumstances every day, which come with challenges. Every circumstance has a challenge and every challenge has a solution. “How well do you function when a challenge is presented?” It all depends on the person working behind the circumstance and it depends the approach they take regarding the specific challenge. You might be intelligent enough to figure out the solution, but a thinking individual only thinks. You might have the traits of a hard-worker and be able to work through a solution, but is the solution the most effective?  It takes a hard-working individual and an intelligent individual to reach the effective solution.

Critical Question: “Are you a thinker or are you a doer?”

At some point you have to get those hands dirty and put in a little extra work. At some point you have to stop acting and put your thinking cap on and think a little more before acting. Believing in yourself and your abilities takes faith to get through the tough circumstances. It takes belief, faith, and action to see the process to its end until you reach your breakthrough. Whenever a solution is not initially presented, in those moments we have to keep pushing and fighting through the obstacles. “Our ability to think and our ability to do will not always be enough; but do we quit when we can’t figure out the solution? Do we quit when our efforts are not producing results?” You have to be able to analyze situations to figure out the best way to work through them and you must be a critical thinker.

Under difficult circumstances, you cannot allow the situation to produce an effect that causes you to think nor act on stressful emotions. For example, projects and assignments with deadlines can cause problems in our performance. If our emotions are not in check, then we find ourselves making simple mistakes in our work and we can become forgetful in our thinking process. We must fine tune ourselves mentally, so that our most important tool, emotion, continues to function at a level that overcomes any situation. “Whenever we build on our emotional intelligence, we are able to operate at the top of our game. NO WORRIES, yes it is the 4th quarter, yes the clock is ticking, but when the ball is in my hand and the game is on the line…. I become MJ while the circumstance becomes the Utah Jazz in the 98′ Finals.” 

So, as you build on your emotional intelligence you will find out that you have an ability to not only influence your actions, but you will also find out that this trait enables you to get tasks completed more effectively and more productively. This ability will influence the way that you think so that you are able to work smarter and think clearly through many critical situations. The emotional intelligence trait plays a major role in how we develop our actions and how we make our decisions to produce at our highest level.

4/18/19 : The X-Factor: Recognition

The Intelligent Thinker vs. The Intelligent Worker 

“Ultimately if we take a closer look at the effort of the two individuals, then I believe we begin to perceive them differently.”

Since grade school, we always praise the smartest kids in the classroom. We praise the class clown that keeps everyone smiling and laughing. We praise the most popular and the coolest kids who have a social knack for influencing the crowd. Time after time, we find ways to praise those who influence us by nothing more than casual effort.

However, we missed the hard-working kids who deserve some praise as well. We never notice the kid who is struggling in his math class to make an “A” on his next test in order to raise his grade to the next level. We forgot about the kid who did all he could do to pull out that “C” in order to graduate. Instead we think those kids are lazy and lack the intelligence needed to make anything of themselves. 

I think differently of those individuals who kept pushing and tried their hardest to PUT IN EXTRA EFFORT AND WORK to reach their accomplishments. I think the difference between the two is the level in which those individuals actually put in work. Ultimately if we take a closer look at the effort of the two individuals, then I believe we begin to perceive them differently.

Here are a few questions that I would like for you to ask yourself. How can we manage a balance between working too hard and spending too much time just being an intelligent thinker?  How hard are you willing to work at a task that comes difficult to you? How much time and effort are you willing to work to prove to yourself that you are capable of accomplishing a task that comes difficult to you? 

The intelligent thinker stops acting when they get a sniff of failure. The intelligent worker stops thinking when the pressure begins to mount and they over exert themselves on tasks that could be completed more productively. The solutions are natural for both, because both see it as the easiest solution.
