Your Out Of Order Councilman Jim Dickey

Did you know that it isn't good when your system is out of order?

Now by "Out of Order" I mean when your mental picture of how things should be is very different from how things actually are. Human beings are always striving for order, and when our mental picture of how things should be matches reality, we feel comfortable and in control.

Who does this sound like? Picke me, pick me I know the answer. It is Jim "GOD" Dickey.

But what happens when they don't match? What happens when our mental picture of, say, I should be Council President is thrown out of order by my little itty bitty mind? Or our picture of how I should be the mayor of Fairmount Indiana, when that position doesn't exist?

Well, what happens is that we create inside ourselves a tremendous amount of drive and energy to restore order, to make our inner picture and reality match, once again.

For "GOD", does that mean it's my way or the HIGHWAY?

We feel highly motivated to be the Council President, to be the mayor of Fairmount Indiana, to do whatever is required to set things right in our mind.

Sounds just like Mr. Jim "GOD" Dickey.

Once order is restored, the drive and energy turn off because they are no longer needed.

Well, "GOD" may be the next council president, but I don't think the next mayor of Fairmount, Indiana. So hold on.

This is exactly how goal-setting works. When you set a goal and systematically visualize the end-result, no mater who you step on, you throw your system out of order. That creates the drive and energy to change reality so that it matches the picture you have been visualizing.

Question, how can "GOD" see that much in his itty bitty tiny weeny mind?

"GOD" your Out Of Order, sit down, relax and have a nice cold glass of lemonade.
