Life Lessons to Learn from a Rubik’s Cube
There are exactly 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible configurations on a rubik’s cube. That’s 43 QUINTILLION!
Interestingly, scientists have found that in any one of these 43 quintillion positions you are only 20 steps away from solving the puzzle.
Even more interestingly, there are only 4 possible ways or strategies to use to solve the puzzle.
What does this mean for you?
You, your neighbor, your mom and everyone else in the world are all in different positions, phases, and circumstances in life. Two days from now it is possible that you will be in a completely different position. Your life is constantly changing and rearranging.
The good news is, you (…and your mom) are just like the Rubik’s cube. Compared to the endless possibilities you have before you, you are, thankfully, only a few steps away from weeding out chaos and achieving your goals and dreams.
Solving the Puzzle
Sure you will try to figure it out on your own. It’s fun and challenging. But eventually, you’ll either give up and set your dreams aside or you will find a cheat sheet. The strategies to achieving your success are readily available, you simply have to look to someone who has already done what you want to do and do what they did.
Enter the personal development crowd mantra… Get a mentor. Network. Wake up early. Exercise. Read. Sleep. Eat right. Take a cold shower. Fail. Fail bigger. Get back up. Start now. Never stop. Give.
It’s easy to get frustrated with the advice being given. You’ve heard it over and over.
Why does everyone claim these seemingly unrelated actions to be the only keys to success? Because they are most certainly the very few strategies that will lead you out of chaos and towards your goals with incredible anticipation.
Puzzles require patience
Like any puzzle you attempt to complete, you can take comfort in knowing that no one gets it right the first time.
It will take some tweaking and rearranging to get things to align. But once you have the experience of small successes, it becomes easier to feel the rhythm of how it all works.
Once you see the end in sight your confidence in the process will grow and the only thing left to do is to do it all again.
