A lot of people confuse the narrow concept of system thinking or system approach to accomplishing a task with a real sensation of a deep system alignment, which can only be achieved emotionally and spiritually. I always state that if you get into the state of clear mind and harmony of your being and then start thinking about anything, including business, creativity, personal life - if you start feeling deep contentment, this means that the system of a subject under the question functions perfectly. When coaches, tutors, mentors state in their ads on the Internet that they always stick to a System approach in coaching - I already know that most probably this guy is limited in his/her mental capacities, unfortunately. The one who KNOWS what a System feels like, is unlikely to cry about it, since it is not easy to put the sensation of a completeness of a system into words. Human language is marvellous, still limited. Again and again, I am sure that we can conceive of a harmony of our given system only provided we are in a specific state of mind, and only putting trust in our feelings. No mathematic formulas or business rules are going to get you even close to real System thinking. Also, people like making concepts complicated, which often indicates the narrowness of one's mind. Everything genius is simple - because the concept of Simplicity includes all of those unfathomable for most humans laws of the Universe. OK, to put it into simple words - try not to think your business or any other type of system, try to feel it. It always works and saves you millions of dollars:) The phenomenon of a feeling of alignment with the Universe is too high a plain for thinking of the majority of people. They hire multi-million dollar consultants and feel that all is not so well anyway. If you start feeling your business and ponder it based solely on that state of harmony, you will be flabbergasted with your mental and financial accomplishments. Feel good!
