Tuning In: The Frequency of Opportunity

I've had an idea I've been mulling over in the back of my head for about a week now. I thought about it then and then thought I would just let it go and see if it resurfaces. It has … again and again. So, I want to get right into and discuss what’s been on my mind around this idea. It's simple really but don't mistake the simplicity for a lack of depth. There is more to what I'm pointing to than meets the eye. It has to do with opportunity in its simplest for. The definition I'm working with when I say opportunity in this case is "a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something." In the examination of opportunity, I want to break it down into three separate equal parts that each play a huge role in defining and working with the opportunities that show up in your life. It all comes down to, in this model - Frequency, Perception, and Power.

1) Frequency
What I'm referring to hear is the necessity for you to organize your organic antennae in such a way that the opportunity has access to you. Bottom line, you gotta know what you want. There's multiple layers to this but let's keep it simple. Your body is radiating at a particular frequency. A radio needs to be set at a particular frequency to 'catch' the signal that's always there all around us. That radio station plays all the time but if you can't tune into it, it's as if it never shows up for you. Getting your mind, body, heart, spirit, whatever all aligned on the right frequency, in a nutshell, gives those opportunities access to you. If there's inner conflict between the different levels, it can be hit or miss for the opportunity to show up in the real world so best to have it all righted.

2) Perception
Frequency is about the opportunity having access to you, Perception is about you having access to the opportunities inside the opportunity. This essentially boils down to your ability to notice for what you're noticing about the opportunity. There are things that the opportunity shows up with that only someone perceptually suited to it can gain access to. Dogs can smell and hear things and specifics and distinctions that humans can't. Perception is about opening what you can, for all intents and purposes, smell and hear so that more information becomes available to you around and in the opportunity. Let's say the radio signal gets in ... if you don't speak the language of the speaker on the radio station, you can't understand what they're saying no matter how much of the station you can hear. Not only that, music can play and you can enjoy the beautiful sounds and that might be enough ... but you'll still not understand a word they're saying. Vast amounts of information will go unnoticed.

3) Power
Now, Power is simply your ability to do something with the information you receive, your decision to do something with that information, and then doing it. Opportunity shows up because you're in the right frequency, you notice what you notice about it, and then what? You take action on the information that comes in. Because the action you take comes from the right frequency you tuned and you've honed you perceptual framework to notice for the best information that'll get you what you're looking for upon action taken around it, the information that will most likely bring about the best outcome regarding the opportunity, you reinforce the right action being taken further tuning and honing these parts in the overall picture creating a feedback loop of sorts allowing you to notice for the things you do that bring you closer to the outcome. Since you already know what you want by this step, the actions you take are about staying in the right frequency, noticing for the right information, and continually updating with every action you take the new information that comes about for you as a result bringing you either closer or farther away from your targeted desire inside the opportunity. You adjust and you take action, and you evaluate and make new adjustments or readjust to a place where you can take action again. Simple as that.

Now, all of this being said, I want to make it very clear that I'm NOT saying the opportunity will always work out for you, especially in the beginning when you don't know what to notice for nor how to ensure your vibrating on the right frequency but paying attention to what you're getting access to and what has access to you will further reveal over time through the actions you take the best possible path forward for the subsequent patterns you are integrating into this mechanism you call a body. Where the rubber meets the road is if you don't know where to start, you need to decide what you want. That lets you, at the very least, get your frequency in order. With that, opportunities can show up that you can take action on even if it isn't the right action. With each action more and more information becomes available to you that opens up future possibilities that weren't there before. It really is as simple as that. Get all the parts of you working towards the same goal and you just might get it.
