Key Takeaways for Personal Branding.
The Gap
As humans, we have thousands of thoughts each day. One occupies our mind until the next takes over the earlier thought.
Dyer’s “The Gap” is the space between your thoughts. It’s where the mind is free from mental chatters, daily distractions and decision-making.
The gap transcends your conscious thoughts. In the silence and stillness, you connect with your true self, beyond your ego.
Taming the Ego
Dyer reminds you to understand you are not your ego.
Yet, you can often personalise your ego with thoughts like:
“I am what I do.”
“I am what I have.”
“I am what others think of me.”
But, your ego is simply an idea. One that can disconnect you from the universal energy.
Universal Energy
Like many of the most compelling thought leaders, Dyer highlights his belief in a universal energy. He advocates for aligning yourself with that energy source. And becoming constantly aware of your oneness with it. The oneness is indivisible. It’s creative energy. An energy that creates all things. Therefore, Dyer, like many others, advocates for its ability to manifest your desires.
Remember that quantum physics states that particles themselves do not produce more particles. What’s needed is the invisible energy.
One of the best ways to align with the universal energy is through meditation.
In an increasingly busy world, Dyer understands structured practice, while desirable, may not always be possible. But, you can also find moments for meditation every day. Like finding several short minutes of meditation in your daily commute or when you’re waiting in line.
Dyer understands that your conscious mind can only do so much to achieve your desired goals. By meditating, you open your mind to new possibilities:
"The practice of meditation opens the door to the infinite, and that which is beyond the intellectual mind."
