Choosing to live in the FlowZone

Jerry Clark of Club Rhino fame, is one of my all time favorite motivational speakers. He's funny, he's smart, and he uses dynamic examples with staying power.

Many years ago I heard him speak about the four zones that people choose to live in -- and I knew I'd heard something profound.

He said that some people live in the NoZone. They won't hear anything new and they won't budge from their cast-in-concrete opinions and beliefs, even if it means vast improvements in their lives.

Some live in the SlowZone. They'll move slowly but persistently to improve their lives.

Some people live in the GoZone, taking lots of action and working diligently, maybe even passionately to achieve their goals -- and they will prosper!

And then there are those who live in the FlowZone, in the flow of life, where all things line up in their favor, the traffic moves in their direction, and they will find prosperity with seeming effortlessness, without struggle.

Jerry said that except for the NoZone slugs, we typically move around between the zones, and when we are willing to understand what's really going on, and how universal laws work, we will spend increasing amounts of time in the joyful state of the FlowZone.

The message clearly stuck with me. Recalling what Jerry said helps to remind me that ife doesn't have to be a struggle. No, life is meant to be lived joyfully in the FlowZone.
