THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL FORMULA!
The World's Most Powerful Formula has 4 parts:
A. CVS does not equal Reality!
B. From CVS to BVS!
C. From CVS to 10 X BVS!
D. From DPC to Breakthrough!
"CVS" stands for "Current View of the Situation."
"BVS" stands for "Better View of the Situation."
Acknowledgement: Most of the WMPF (including the
terms CVS and BVS) was developed by Dr. Michael
Hewitt-Gleeson, author of 'Software for Your Brain'
http://buildfreedom.com/content/other/brain_software.html
"DPC" stands for "Difficulty/Problem/Challenge."
A. CVS does not equal Reality!
------------------------------------------------
By "Reality" I mean "what exists out there,
independent of what you or I might think or say
about it" -- "objective existence," if you like.
(For the purposes of WMPF, please don't get
bogged down by notions such as "everything's
relative," "it's all in the mind," etc.)
We have a view of every situation -- our current
view -- CVS. It's really a mental map, model, or
representation of part of Reality.
Alfred Korzybski, founder of General Semantics,
explored some important aspects of our Mental
Maps and how these affect our interaction with
each other and with Reality. "The map is not
the territory." "The menu is not the meal."
There can be levels of this phenomenon. The
screenplay is not the movie; the movie is not
Reality.
CVS is not equal to Reality. Our CVS is analogous
to a "movie in our head" about part of Reality.
A CVS can be more or less useful, more or less
accurate. Science is basically an endeavor to
develop more accurate and useful BVSs -- Better
Views of Situations.
Being Stuck in and Defending Your CVS
------------------------------------------------
If in any area of your life you're not making
progress, you may be stuck in an inappropriate
CVS.
An inappropriate CVS, such as "I'm no good at..."
(whatever), can have a devastating effect on
your level of success, your happiness, and even
your health.
It's most important to realize that your CVS
is something you CHOOSE. Whatever you think or
say about yourself and the world -- Reality --
is a CVS you choose. You are free to choose a
better view at any time: "From CVS to BVS!"
Whatever you learned in school or from any
"authorities" is essentially a CVS you are
free to accept, reject, or change.
A while ago I received the following from Dr.
Michael Hewitt-Gleeson:
-----
THINKTIP: WHY? Why do I have this CVS?
Asking 'Why?' is one of the most effective
ways to begin the escape from your CVS.
Asking 'Why?' is a challenge.
Asking 'Why?' means you have stopped, for the
moment, defending your CVS and have opened your
mind to fresh information.
For example, here are ten Whys to challenge a CVS:
1. Why is this so inconvenient?
2. Why do I have this CVS?
3. Why do our customers hate this?
4. Why is this so complicated?
5. Why is it organized this way?
6. Why is this my reaction?
7. Why is this so difficult?
8. Why is this so unsafe?
9. Why does it make this noise?
10. Why can't I improve this?
-----
B. From CVS to BVS!
------------------------------------------------
The second part of WMPF (World's Most Powerful
Formula) states that we can always shift from
our Current View of the Situation (CVS) to a
Better View of the Situation (BVS).
Our CVS can never be "perfectly accurate" in
the same way that a movie can never be a perfect
rendition of those parts of Reality it attempts
to portray. No matter how thoroughly a documentary
is researched, it can never be a totally accurate
reflection of Reality. It includes some aspects
of Reality and excludes others.
Our Mental Maps or CVSs are always PARTIAL
representations of Reality. Our CVSs can also
be distorted in other ways.
No matter how accurate or useful we think our
CVSs are, they can always be improved: From CVS
to BVS!
Every invention that has improved our lives
came as a result of some scientist or inventor
shifting from a CVS to a BVS. Edison looked
for a better way (BVS) to provide light,
compared to candles or gas lights (CVS).
Mike Brescia of Think Right Now! has identified
11 Core Thought Patterns that largely determine
whether people fail or succeed.
Each of the 11 Core Thought Patterns in an
individual can be calibrated along a scale
from "very negative" to "very positive."
For each of these 11 Core Thought Patterns,
individuals can shift from their CVS to
a BVS -- from negative to positive; from
positive to more positive.
The more you shift your 11 Core Thought
Patterns toward the positive end of the
scale (and beyond!), the more successful
you become!

C. From CVS to 10 X BVS!
------------------------------------------------
One of Dr. Michael Hewitt-Gleeson's greatest
breakthroughs, in my opinion, is the idea that
you can shift from a CVS to a BVS that is TEN
TIMES BETTER!
Electric light is at least ten times better
than gas light. An automobile is at least
ten times faster than a horse and buggy. An
aeroplane is typically of the order of ten
times faster than an automobile.
A salesman can become ten times more effective
and successful than he or she used to be.
>From CVS to 10 X BVS!
In 1984, Jack Welch who was then Chairman of
General Electric Corporation, was introduced
to "CVS to 10 X BVS!" Over a period of 18
months, starting in 1985 when GE was a $30
billion company, the "10 X Program" was taught
to thousands of GE managers. By 1988, GE had
grown into a $300 billion company, and as a
result GE's shareholder value had grown ten
times!
Any individual, group, or company, by applying
CVS to 10 X BVS!, can become ten times more
successful.
And you don't have to stop there! You can
always multiply your success by a factor of
10!
D. From DPC to Breakthrough!
------------------------------------------------
Every Difficulty/Problem/Challenge presents
an opportunity for a Breakthrough!
Motivational authors and speakers often claim
that the Chinese words or symbols for crisis
and opportunity are the same. Though this is
a dubious claim, it's not completely without
merit.
It may seem paradoxical that a Difficulty,
Problem, or Challenge presents an opportunity
for a Breakthrough.
Reality simply "is" -- what exists. DPC is
how we interpret part of Reality. DPC is
"map"; not "territory." DPC is our CVS.
You will be astounded by the results if you
approach every DPC you experience with the
question: "What Breakthrough is available
here?"
If you go to sleep at night with a "DPC on
your mind" coupled with, "What Breakthroughs
are available here?", you may be amazed by
the answers you wake up with!
I highly recommend that you test "From DPC
to Breakthrough!" for yourself.
Is This Really the World's Most Powerful Formula?
-------------------------------------------------
Well... I confess that I might be exaggerating!
But what other formula can you apply to improve
anything by a factor of 10... over and over
again?
Maybe someone will come along and say that this
entire formula is just a CVS and he or she has
developed a 10 X BVS to replace it!

Sharing the Formula with the Rest of the World

I'm particularly interested in this article
being shared with individuals, groups, and
organizations who practice and advocate peace
and non-violence -- people who reject coercion
(the initiation of force, fraud, and violence).
