    noiz viol8ion blog #451 – The Contrasts of Life

    A roller coaster that only went up would be boring.

    A song that played the same note over and over would get old.

    A friend that says the same thing all the time gets tuned out.

    When there is no contrast, no highs and lows, no melodies and harmonies, no color then life falls apart. There is no good times without bad ones. That is why it is best to embrace them all! Feel the bad and know it’s bad. Also know that the bad will not last. Then feel the good and enjoy it because you know it will not last.

    noiz viol8ion blog #450 – The Secret to Learning Anything

    The best way to learn something new is to related it to something you already know. Use a metaphor so “This = That”. In becoming an electrical engineer one of the thing my teachers always said is to imaging electricity as water. “Electricity = Water” Now imagine a huge water tank with a tap at the bottom of it. The tap is hold back the water pressure in electricity this is called “voltage”. The tap is a “resistor” this limits the flow based on how open or closed it is. The flow of the water is the “current”. The basic understanding of the water tower metaphor will teach someone electricity because everyone has seen a water tower.

    When you do not know something use what you know to help you understand what it’s like.

    noiz viol8ion blog #449 – Open Up to Receive

    Opening yourself up to receive. Receive compliments. Do not brush them off as a pleasantry. Let a compliment sink in and feel the gratitude.

    Open up to receive a gift. Understand what that person went through to get that for you. The work they do to make they money to pay for the gift. The time they took to go through the store or search online. The skill to wrap it and write your name on it.

    Know you are worthy of everything that is coming your way and accept the gift that life has to offer.

    noiz viol8ion blog #448 – Change Something

    Change your life by changing something. You never know what is going to happen even from changing the smallest thing. Change something small in your life. Change the time you wake up by 1 minute. Change the greeting you give to people. Change the look on your face. Change the way you drive home from work. Change something in your life and see what happens.

    noiz viol8ion blog #447 – This is the Best Thing to get Better at!

    One of the best things you can improve upon is your ability to listen. Listen to others. Listen to yourself. Listen to the world around you. When you listen you take the guessing out of it. You are receiving and absorbing information. If you listen you can give people what they want. If you listen to your emotions you will know what you want. If you listen the world becomes clearer.

    noiz viol8ion blog #446 – Fill Your Heart with Gratitude

    Think of a moment in your life when you were the happiest you have ever been. Close your eyes and re-live that moment. Hear the sounds. See the scene and feel the emotions you felt then. Enhance the memory and feel better than you felt then. Step into this memory and carry it with you when you need a pick me up.

    If you are feeling stressed, depressed, fearful it is probably because you are focused to much on yourself. Negative emotions come from loss, less and never.

    Loss – you are losing something. Something has been taken from you.

    Less – you have less of something. You think you deserve more or you compare yourself to others who have more.

    Never – you think something is never going to happen. There is no control.

    When we think about these 3 things we cause ourselves suffering.

    noiz viol8ion blog #444 – A Solid Foundation

    If you want to build something then you must start with a strong foundation. Your base and rock bottom must be set and then you can begin. Your foundation is your comfort zone that you can always go back to. It allows you to take risks because when the worst happens you will still have your foundation. It is the starting point of the journey. Do not do anything until this is solid.

    Groove by definition is a long channel or depression. Once you find your groove everything falls in place and everything becomes effortless. No matter what happens it just works. The groove make your path more enjoyable because you travel down it so often. It becomes familiar. It’s a needle in a record player. The ups and downs are pleasant as time passes.

    noiz viol8ion blog #442 – Every Team Needs a Leader

    Teams need leaders to make decisions. It must be clear who the leader of the team is or there will be no cohesion. The leader will do things that no one else wants to do and put the teams interests ahead of their own. The leader puts people in situations to succeed. They put people in the right place where people’s strengths are accentuated. There is no one style of leadership but the goal of leaders is to get results.
