"Opportunities multiply as they are seized."
~ Sun Tzu

As we approach middle age, we realize that our time, opportunities, energy and certainly, our experiences become limited.
While this may seem obvious, it can also provide a terrific wake-up call!
How much longer are you going to put off that trip “of a lifetime”?
How much longer are you going to put off that creative project?
Let this episode remind you to seize the moment and realize that each new day is a gift to seize the opportunities that are vanishing before your eyes.
NOW! Now is the time to make the most of your life.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.”
~ Mark Twain.”
Key ideas:
Whether financial or otherwise, recognize decisions as limited opportunities
Qualify opportunities that come your way and put them through a “20 years from now” filter.
Qualify decisions relative to the frequency of the opportunity.
Seize the moment by challenging yourself to do things that are important..
Be brave, be assertive and make the most of your time on Earth.
Summary
The time is NOW. Take action, NOW.
Seize opportunities that come your way.
While we may be eternal beings, this life - right now - is very limited.
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making plans.”
~ John Lennon

From the world of statistics: All models are flawed, but some are useful.
We asked Google’s AI experiment Gemini to “break” the “3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System” behavior model.
The short story (no pun intended), is he/she/IT could not.
The best Gemini could offer: “What about people who aren’t aware of their unconscious stories/thinking?”
It’s a good question and a nice attempt. However, an unconscious story is still a story (represented within the model), and that is the point of the latest book, EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY where the latest version of the model was revealed.
BTW: You are invited to try and “break” the “3 Circles of Behavior Echo-System” behavior model as well.
If you think you can, please email or leave comments here.
*Note: ChatGPT’s does not know the model yet, officially published in October of 2022. GPT’s latest update is from January 2022.

“The Three Circles of Behavior Echo-System” / The Grunburg Behavior Model is a holistic, fluid, and dynamic behavior-change model. It’s the very first behavior-change model to demonstrate how our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and even our environment vibrate (echo and reverberate) to influence each other.
Hence, it’s an “Echo-System” not an eco-system. All prior behavior models represent human behavior in a linear-flow type diagram.
Background here.
