Inside Your Machine

To read this, you must use a computer like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. You have, at some point, learned how to operate your device and do work for you. We often use machines and devices without fully understanding how they work. As I press my keyboard keys, the computer displays letters on the screen that form words as I type. I don't analyze the complexity behind how keystrokes become letters on the screen, then words and sentences that you can read. I just learned the basics to get the results I'm looking for. We become proficient computer users without knowing or even being aware of the systems we use daily.

Humans, on some level, essentially function no differently than machines. Some processes we are aware of - like walking; some we ignore - like breathing; and some processes we are not mindful of - like organ functions.

Applying the machine analogy to self-development has several advantages. This is one of many simple ways to distance ourselves from our thoughts and give us the perspective needed to identify problems and apply improvements.
We only need basic strategies to improve how we use our operating systems. Deep knowledge of human psychology is nice but not required to begin making noticeable self-development changes.

Wouldn't you like to apply good habits just like you can program a computer? Select, click, and save to become all you want to be? This is precisely how we can accomplish these results for ourselves.

I'm guessing that if you have read this far, you desire to change something in your life, and I'm betting that you have at least spent time thinking about it or tried to make it happen for you but somehow didn't make it to the other side yet.

Try this approach and experiment with it; you may be surprised by what you discover when you look inside your machine.

You have everything to gain.
