SETTING A GOAL TO

SELF-ACTUALIZE SOMETHING

 

"The biggest puzzle is not solving and fixing problems, per se, it is fixing
the thinking that causes problems." (LeGault, Think! 2006, p. 309)

 

In spite of the current world-wide inundation of information and the
mythology that information is power, information by itself actually amounts
to very little.  The reason is because in order for information to be
useful, you have to transform it into knowledge so that you can "know"
something specific in a specific area.  

 

Yet even that is not enough.  After that you have to transform your
knowledge or understanding into comprehension.  Only when information has
become comprehensible understanding of something (e.g., how it works, what
you can do with it, its value, etc.) can a person then actualizes it in
action and use it for developing personal excellence and mastery.

 

This means that today our problem is not the lack of information.  Actually,
we are inundated by so much data, facts, and information and to such an
extent that we are overwhelmed by it.  Sometimes we are even defeated by it
because we don't know where to start.  With it we have too many choices, too
many possibilities.  Sometimes it is so much so that we are disoriented and
don't know where we are or what to do- paralyzed.

 

For a template for thinking about setting a goal to actualize something in
Neuro-Semantics, we use the Meaning-Performance Axes.  

 



              

The key to actualizing anything is unifying meaning and performance so that
they come together.  When you do that, you have the possibility of a
synergy- a unifying of what is highly significant and meaningful into an
action, or set of actions, that translates the meaning that you comprehend.
When the action is at a high level of competence- when it has a high level
of expertise, then the resulting action is at its highest meaning and best
performance.

 

On the meaning scale (the vertical line to the left) identify some
information that you have.  As you do, be sure that you clean it up with the
Meta-Model questions.  Where did you get it?  Who said?  How do they know?
Can you corroborate the information?  What evidence are you relying on?

 

Next turn it into knowledge.  What do you think you "know" given that
information?  This knowledge falls into what area or category?  How does it
fit or not fit with what is already "known" in that domain?

"Good information is still a rarity, and rarer still is the intellect that
can polish it and turn it into knowledge."  (LeGault, Think! 2006, p. 180)

 

Next, turn the knowledge into comprehension.  Now that you know what you
have learned, how does that enrich and expand your comprehension of
X-category?  What does it allow you to do?  How does it affect the way you
relate to X?  What questions does this comprehension answer? 

 

Finally, turn the comprehension into action.  What will you now do that you
know and understand that?  How will you do that?  What practice will you
give yourself to in order to become skilled in doing that? 

 

Along the horizontal line at the bottom are the actions and activities that
actualize what you know and understand.  As you practice an activity and
become increasingly skilled with it, typically within 30 to 60 days you can
become competent.  Ten years more and you can move to the place of expertise
(the 10,000 hour rule of deliberate practice, Anders Ericsson) and thirty
years of expertise practice will take you to the place of mastery.  All of
this gives you a way to actualize information so it becomes transformational
in you as you set and achieve your goals.
