DO YOU KNOW THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED A BIG JOB AND  YOU TURN TO WITNESS YOUR MAGNIFICENT ACCOMPLISHMENT, ONE THAT MAY HAVE TAKEN MONTHS TO FINISH? WHAT A GREAT FEELING HAVING OVERCOME ALL THOSE OBSTACLES!

WELL, THE REAL FACT IS THAT BY YOURSELF YOU MAY HAVE PLAYED ONLY A SMALL PART IN MAKING A BURNING DESIRE BECOME REALITY. MAYBE IT WAS YOUR IDEA OR YOUR PART WAS ORGINAZING EVERY ONE INVOLVED TO WORK IN HARMONY TO COMPLETE THE TASK. IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THE PRODUCT LOOK PERFECT OR TO PUSH THE WHOLE ENDEAVOR OVER THE LAST BUMP IN THE ROAD.

WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT, YOU WERE PART OF A TEAM, AND IF THIS TEAM WORKS TOGETHER ON MORE THAN ONE PROJECT, IT IS CALLED A MASTERMIND GROUP. THE MASTERMIND GROUP CREATES POWER —  WHICH IS NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH ANY GOAL. ONE NECESSARY INGREDIENT IS POWER. THIS POWER IS APPLIED BY THE MASTERMIND GROUP.  IDEAS AND PLANS ARE  USELESS WITHOUT SUFFICIENT POWER TO TRANSLATE THEM INTO ACTION. HOW MAY AN INDIVIDUAL ATTAIN AND APPLY POWER?

POWER MAY BE DEFINED AS “ORGANIZED AND INTELLIGENTLY DIRECTED KNOWLEDGE.” ORGANIZED EFFORT IS PRODUCED THROUGH THE COORDINATION OF THE EFFORT OF TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WHO WORK TOWARD A DEFINITE END IN A SPIRIT OF HARMONY.

THE MASTERMIND GROUP PROVIDES INFINITE INTELLIGENCE, CREATIVE IMAGINATION, AND ACCUMULATED KNOWLEDGE. THESE MAY BE CONVERTED INTO POWER USED TO CREATE DEFINITE PLANS, AND THE GROUP THEN EXPRESSES THESE PLANS IN TERMS OF ACTION. NOW THE MASTERMIND BEGINS TO FEEL THEIR ACCUMULATED EXPRESSION OF ORGANIZED POWER. VOILA! THE BELIEF SYSTEM THAT GIVES BIRTH TO THE MASTERMIND GROUP BECOMES A REALITY!

UNTIL NEXT TIME…
