Cause-ology: Predicting the Future through Action
I believe in Cause-ology. Cause-ology dictates that will the easiest way of predicting the future can be to get out of bed inside the morning as well as also also create the idea. Coaches call This particular living at ‘Cause’. Living at ‘Cause’ means holding true to the belief that will behaviour, actions as well as also also responses influence your outcomes/results, these outcomes create your reality as well as also also shape your destiny. Living at ‘cause’ encourages you to take control of your life, shaping the idea to suit your vision.
The opposite of living at ‘Cause’ can be to live at ‘Effect’, individuals at ‘effect’ believe their behaviours, actions as well as also also responses have little or no impact on their outcomes/results, they believe life can be shaped by factors beyond their control such as destiny, luck as well as also also circumstance.
So what difference does being at ‘Cause’ make? Individuals who live at ’Cause’ feel empowered as well as also also in control of life. This particular leads them to act on getting what they want, they are more dynamic, as well as also also they produce more results, generating more of a difference. Also, simply believing they are in control, allows these people to be less worried as well as also also more relaxed as well as also also happy with life.
Let’s use losing weight as an example, I wake up one morning, look inside the mirror as well as also also wonder who chubby staring back at me can be, then I decide to lose weight. We’ve all been there. I enrol at the gym, buy the sports gear as well as also also even a fancy water bottle – I am at cause, taking action to achieve my goal. I go to the gym three times a week as well as also also eat healthy – I am at cause, still taking action to achieve my goal. Then I spend three additional evenings a week on the sofa with my girlfriends trying to save the planet by going on a wine as well as also also chocolate diet only to say I have a slow metabolism – I am at effect.
So does your behaviour lean more towards generating you a ‘Cause’ or more an ‘Effect’ person? First, there can be no clear cut separation between Cause as well as also also Effect. The two are not mutually exclusive, instead they are as opposite ends of a sliding ruler; a person’s behaviour might either lean towards ‘cause’ or towards ‘effect’.
One way of figuring which end you lean to can be through the language you use. Beliefs influence whether you are at cause or effect as well as also also beliefs guide thoughts; language can be used to express thought/what you think. In a way, words are the clothes your thoughts wear to appear decent in public, so choose them wisely (lest you make the wrong kind of fashion statement). Let’s check where you stand with regards to cause as well as also also effect with This particular little exercise I created (remember to take This particular as a fun, non-scientific indicator):
Consider the below statements as well as also also rate yourself on how likely you are to say them on a scale of 1-5. Note down your score for each statement as well as also also sum up your scores at the end of the exercise.
1 = I never or hardly say that will
2 = I rarely say that will
3 = I sometimes say that will
4 = I often say that will
5 = I use statements like that will all the time/frequently
01. The way he/she looks at me makes me feel loved/Great/angry
02. I am late because of traffic
03. You are so lucky
04. Your comment last night made me happy/upset
05. Tom makes me happy
06. I just don’t have that will type of talent
07. Poor John, with the economy these days, there are no jobs on the market
08. the idea can be not what Ali said, the idea’s how he said the idea that will made me feel motivated
09. I am forced to make This particular decision
10. Tania made me take the decision to invest as well as also also its working out wonderfully
11. John loses weight so fast, he inherited that will by his dad, I wish I was the same
12. Maria has great genes; she looks half her age each time we meet
Higher scores; 40-60 indicate a person leaning towards ‘Effect’
Typically:
They might be less empowered, independent as well as also also enabled
They might view situations/events as something out of their control
They might experience the consequences of situations without attempting to influence the situation to their advantage
Lower scores; 12 -36 indicate a person leaning towards ‘Cause’
Typically:
They tend to be more empowered, independent as well as also also enabled
They tend to view’s situations/events as something they influence
They are likely to experience more success as they actively interact as well as also also influence situations to bear results that will are more beneficial for them
They tend to be more dynamic as well as also also optimistic, always ‘finding a way’ yet might run a risk of not knowing when to move on as well as also also invest efforts elsewhere
When people allocate responsibility for behaviour as well as also also results outside themselves, when people are passive, they are more on the ‘Effect’ side of things. Alternatively taking responsibility for behaviour as well as also also results places you more at ‘Cause’. You can move to ‘Cause’ by working using a coach to change your beliefs yet This particular requires support, practice as well as also also time.
Perhaps you want to be unpredictable This particular year as well as also also use Cause-ology to predict your future, how do you do the idea? Ask yourself what you want achieve This particular year in each aspect of your life? Keep things real; aiming to buy a Bentley on a 9 to 5 salary might be difficult unless you run the planet Bank by 9 to 5. Define what you want clearly generating sure that will the idea can be specific, measurable using a deadline attached. Get a clear sense of what the idea might look as well as also also feel like to achieve these things.
currently, what 5 steps could you take starting today to begin achieving your goal? Note them down, then go out as well as also also get them done, when completed, come back as well as also also think about 5 more steps that will get you closer to your goal – keep repeating This particular, until you get what you want. You reap what you sow – even the laws of Karma say so.
Happy Causing!
