With the current global financial crisis we are all experiencing challenges both emotional and psychological.  

Over the years I’ve read many self-help books by authors such as Les Brown, Tony Robbins, Dennis Kimbro, Zig Ziglar, and Neale Donald Walsch.  At times like these I find myself reflecting on their words of inspiration and resilience.  

There is one statement in particular I often use when facing challenges.  It goes like this: “It’s not about the challenges you face, it’s about how you respond to the challenges you face.”  This statement enables me to focus on what I can control – first and foremost “my response”.  No matter what happens to you in life, you always have control of your response.  

Even with this knowledge, which has been quite helpful, there is still so much I don’t know.  

Recently, I came across the MasterMind Matrix Chart created by Adam Sicinski (author of the IQ Matrix Blog).

In this one graphic he captures an enormous amount of information about the brain, how and why we process information the way we do, and how we can transform our lives to deal with any challenge.

Adam puts it this way: “Every Personal Development Guru I came across had a personal vision of the human psyche, and they represented it in a variety – of somewhat limited – diagrams that only showed a single thread of the bigger picture. It was frustrating, because nobody I had come across, had managed to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together into a diagram that actually made sense to me, and provided me with the answers I was looking for.

While searching for the answers, I continuously questioned how every part of my psychology directly influenced aspects of my life. Some of the recurring questions I had on my mind were:

•  How do my emotions interact with my beliefs, values and other building blocks of my personality?
•  What influence do other people have over the development of my personality?
•  How does my Brain interpret what I do? And how does it consequently influence my future decisions and actions?
•  How do each one of my choices and decisions influence all other aspects of my personality and life?
•  How do I know if I am on track moving towards fulfillment, or off-track moving towards disappointment?
•  And many others… 

These questions stimulated answers and further research, which eventually led to the development of the MasterMind Matrix Chart.”

He goes on to say:

“Upon first glance, the MasterMind Matrix may look complex. However, if followed section by section, you will hopefully begin to understand how all the pieces of your Psychological Puzzle fit together to lay down the building blocks of your personality. And once you have this understanding, you will be ready to take the necessary steps to transform your life and behavior forever.”

I encourage you to read Adam’s full blog post and learn more about MasterMind Matrix Chart – and yourself.
