21 Personal Evolution Strategies

To evolve more quickly and easily…

1. Surround yourself with new ideas instead of recycling your beliefs.
Beliefs can limit your ability to experience life as it unfolds.

2. Make chaos your friend.
The unexpected is a good thing as long as you’re open to it.

3. Let your environments do most of your evolutionary work for you.
Evolution occurs as you adapt to such environments.

4. Use tolerations to your advantage.
Every single thing you are putting up with is an opportunity waiting to be leveraged.

5. Constantly experiment.
Synchronicity is the reward.

6. Spend more time in nature.
Nature nourishes and recalibrates our natural systems.

7. Become the host of a thriving network.
Let your network evolve you as you serve them.

8. Continuously integrate all aspects of your life.
Integration evolves you from being needlessly complicated to being richly complex.

9. Invest in your virtual environments, not just your physical environments.
Life is becoming more virtual.

10. Design your sources of energy.
You can then operate at a higher frequency.

11. Become superconductive.
Reduce the energy you consume by 90% by reducing your resistance to life.

12. Master the evolving set of Cyber Skills.
Extend your intelligence by connecting with everyone.

13. Surround yourself with people who are eagerly evolving.
They spark you. You spark them. Evolution occurs effortlessly.

14. Stop resisting.
Assimilate events the first time they occur.

15. Choose a goal that is bigger than you are.
Be pulled forward by it, instead of pushing yourself.

16. Get over yourself in every possible way.
Arrogance holds you back.

17. Learn how you naturally operate.
Come to honor your personal dynamic.

18. Know your gifts.
And design your life to fully express them.

19. Emotionally heal.
Healing maximizes your emotional IQ.

20. Cause something and surprise yourself.
Initiative is a muscle.

21. Make what you don’t know more interesting than what you do know.
Enjoy learning more than teaching.

Wow, just reading the list sent me up a few levels in vibration! I was amazed how the 21 points link together to certain themes: evolutionary growth, the people and networks and situations we surround ourselves with, and letting go of trying to control things.

First of all, Andrea, I’m sorry for the loss of your grandmother and join in the celebration of her life. Sounds as though, at 92, your family has received many lessons and many more that they will continue to digest.

Thank you for these lessons from Thomas. I’ve read them when first published… but seeing them again, realize that I have put many of them into practice over the past year. I have taken my coaching to brand new places in combination with being a pastor for the past 25 years.

As doors in the church were closing (economic crisis…) I stopped resisting that reality and channeled my time w/out fulltime employment into building out my passion and dream. I spent the last several months venturing full steam into the cyber world, and am pursuing this huge goal of creating a virtual information and education network — Talk Early, Talk Often with Aging Parents.

In the course making friends with the chaos and new found freedom in my life, I kept going to free workshops that were offered so I could keep learning new ideas. Now I’m also certified as an Advance Care Planning Facilitator and Instructor. Met some new people on the journey who are expanding their company and who got excited by my energy and my website.

Starting Monday I will be working for them fulltime — a job they created based on my gifts and interests. I will be 1/2 time hospice chaplain and 1/2 doing education in the community based on what I’ve created — while I continue to build out my dream.

Thanks for giving voice again to Thomas’s guidance and insights. Superconductivity really does shape the world differently when you stop fighting for an old reality and discover the rich new possibilities being offered.

Reading Dale Susan Edmonds’ comment was thrilling. Thomas would be so happy to read the value she got from this.
And I personally got a kick in the butt. His message is really timeless, Andrea, and bless you for keeping the flame burning.
love, shirley

This is like traveling back in time. I love seeing this list again after possibly a decade.

I’d like to share this with clients on my blog/website. Is that allowed? Offering it as inspiration, not for sale.

Please advise and thanks, as Shirley says, for being a revivalist, for honoring Thomas and for allowing us to be taught and inspired by him again.

This was like having Christmas all over again. I will always remember meeting him on his Coach tour – remember? I flew to Colorado Springs to go to the stop in Denver. What a blast.

Thank you, Andrea. Great connecting with you again, too.

He continues to be a magnet and a bright light, doesn’t he?
