ISSUE 100 | HEAD, HEART & HAND

 

Each week The (Quantum) Leap summarises a key aspect of success into what you need to Think, Feel and Do to create a personal shift.

 

*** WELCOME TO THE SPECIAL 100TH EDITION OF THE LEAP ***

When we evolved into Quantum Orange, we did so in part driven by my desire to create a professional legacy that will create impact long after I’m gone.

In short, I want to make damn sure that before I retire, I go deep enough to teach you how to do this work without me. That I leave you (and the rest of the world) with a framework that supports you in discovering the wisdom within.

A framework that will reliably…

Create a balanced, happy and successful life.

Deliver passion, power and purpose for anyone who applies it.

Unearth the hero inside everyone.

… so that I’m no longer needed.

Whilst that framework underpins everything we do, I’d like to take the opportunity, in our special 100th edition of The Leap, to outline it for you.

 

THINK

There are three keystones we all need to develop a deep understanding of so that we can keep them (and in turn ourselves) in balance - head, heart and hand. Every aspect of our growth is connected to one of those three keystones. Together, they form both the foundation that supports (and the arch that protects) growth, wisdom and a life filled with passion, power and purpose.

For obvious reasons we began with the framework for mindset - what you do with your head.

If we think of ourselves as a machine, then the head keystone is the software. It’s full of bugs and glitches including outdated beliefs, reliance on old strategies and self-limiting opinions.

This clogged up software is responsible for about 25% of the blockages we experience.

Growth in the head keystone is all about the journey from confused to clear and committed. To create that growth, you’ll need to:

  • Know that your perception is deep and insightful
  • Have the courage to change your thinking and believing
  • Build unbeatable willpower

FEEL

The next major component of our work is heart. This keystone is about our inner strength and resolve - what we can handle - and will always win in a battle with the head.

In the machine analogy this keystone is the pilot - it flies (motivates) the machine. It is controlled by stories, legends, myths, unhealed events, cruel words, rejections, humiliations, fears and absurd beliefs.

In basic terms, the heart is driven mostly by irrational fears and an unwillingness to be uncomfortable. It’s responsible for another 25% of the blockages we experience, which is why we so often end up in previous destinations despite our desire to experience something new.

Growth in the heart keystone is all about the journey from fragile and brokenhearted to bulletproof. To create that growth, you’ll need to:

  • Heal old wounds to move forward
  • Develop bulletproof emotional strength
  • Learn how to find and eradicate blockages
  • Understand how to live fearlessly

DO

The final component is what we call hand - that is, the doing of things, taking action, getting stuff done.

This keystone is the hardware - it is the machine. It requires high quality fuel, regular servicing, significant rest and stressful exercising - within its operational limits. For most people, the machine is at high risk of burnout.

We run into about 50% of the blockages we experience in life in the hand keystone, more often than not as a result of overdoing it in an attempt to be more, do more and have more.

The thing that brings most people undone is trouble with the implementation of any learning. Knowing you should go to the gym is entirely different to actually walking in and working out.

Growth in the hand keystone is all about the journey from ineffective to unstoppable. To create that growth, you’ll need to:

  • Understand that life is a learning process
  • Use optimum strategy to reach your targets
  • Relentlessly implement new knowledge
  • Overcome the inevitable obstacles life delivers

When we get all three keystones working in concert, rather than against one another, we can live with passion, power and purpose.

We can unearth the hero within and become unstoppable.

And that's exactly what I designed the head, heart, hand framework to do.
