C vs E
So what does C>E mean? In our branch of NLP we talk about empowering people. We talk about where most people choose to live their lives. Most people choose to live their lives on the effect side of the equation. What do I mean. I think the best way to explain it is with an example.
I know someone who used to be extremely skinny. Not unhealthy, just very skinny. This individual is now at least 100 lbs overweight. She tells people all the time it is because of her thyroid. She even used the quote “There is nothing I can do about it.” After listening to this for quite some time, I did some research into the Thyroid issue. Turns out the thyroid is responsible for a weight gain of approximately 5-10 lbs. Not the 100 lbs this person claims. Now because this person CHOOSES to live on the effect side of the equation there is nothing for her to do, it is not her fault. When in reality she refuses to exercise and eats desserts all the time. Her eating is attrocious. But see, if it is not her fault and she has no control over it, why change?
Now other people in the same situation, decide that means I have to be that much more careful about what I eat. And I need to make sure I get up and move. I need to start some sort of exercise program. This person CHOOSES to live at cause. This person CHOOSES to be empowered.
Now I don’t even know if the C>E equation is true. I do know however that I am much more empowered and much happier if I live as I am the cause. If there is something in my life I don’t like. I simply make another decision.
Hopefully, you won’t need to take a NLP training to choose to live at Cause.
