There is one thing that more than anything else delineates
when somebody knows what NLP is.
It is not a set of techniques, it's an attitude.
It's an attitude that has to do with curiosity, with
wanting to know about things, wanting to be able to influence
things, and wanting to be able to influence them in a way that's
worthwhile.
Anything can be changed.
That's something Virginia
Satir said the first time I saw her give a workshop, and it's
absolutely true. Any physicist knows that.
Any human being can
be changed with a .45—that's called "co-therapy with Mr. Smith
and Mr. Wesson."
Whether a change is useful or not is a more
interesting question.
The technology that you have been learning here is very
powerful. The question about how you will use it,
and what you will use it for, is one that I hope you will consider
very carefully —not as a burden, but with the curiosity to find out what's
worthwhile.
The experiences in your life which have been the
most beneficial to you in the long run, and which provide the
basis of your being able to have pleasure, satisfaction, enjoyment,
and happiness, were not necessarily utterly enjoyable at the time
they occurred.
Sometimes some of those experiences were as
frustrating as they could be.
Sometimes they were confusing.
Sometimes they were fun in and of themselves.
Those experiences are not mutually exclusive.
Keep that in mind when you design
and provide experiences for others.
When you master something so throughly that you can do it
perfectly, then it becomes a job, no different than running a staple
gun.
You could set up a clinic and have people come in and cure
phobias, over and over again, all day long. There is no difference
between that and any other routine.
However, when each of those people comes in, you could also begin
to explore how to make it more interesting and more worthwhile than
just curing a phobia so that someone isn't terrified of an elevator.
Why not make it so someone can enjoy riding in elevators?
Why not figure out how phobias are done, and give away phobias
of something more worthwhile?
There are some things worth having a phobia of!
Do you have any compulsive spending habits? —violence habits?
—eating habits? —consumption habits?
How about a phobia of
being stagnant and bored?
That might propel you into interesting new places.
No matter where you are or what you are doing, the skills,
the techniques and the tools that you have acquired here serve
as the basis for amusing yourself, and for learning something new.
Learning is a rare and unprecedented opportunity. And so is
every other experience in your life.
