Look over there. There are diamonds there for you. No, not over there on the other side of the field. Over there right next to you. Just bend down and scoop it up, and you will have the diamond right in your hand.

Dr. Russell Conwell, who was the founder of Temple University, delivered a lecture over 6000 times. Someone later documented his speech in the timeless and classic book Acres of Diamond. It is an incredibly well-told story.

Do the following periodically or as often as you feel you need some re-alignment. As with anything else, it becomes a habit, and the exercise takes less time every time you do it. 

Address your Concerns and Goals

Create metaphors for your problem(s) 

Assess your alignment to the Neurological Levels 

The Pyramid of Neurological Levels was first coined by Gregory Bateson and referred to a model created by Robert Dilts. 

Identify your current reality.

Analyze current obstacles.

Do a GAP analysis.

Ask the following questions.

The fascinating thing about these logical levels is that they mostly operate in the subconscious mind rather than the conscious mind.

Every goal you ever want to achieve or a problem in your life bothering you is within one of those logical levels, first in your subconscious. 

The good news is that once you understand the model, you can better understand your problem and use different thinking levels to solve it.
