The Rubik’s Cube Theory
I had a few really weird dreams last night. One of them was about solving Rubik’s cubes. I was watching a competition where people were solving the mind bending puzzle in just a few seconds. After the competition the competitors were showing the audience how they did it. The problem most people had solving the puzzle was learning that you had to break down your success in order to move forward.
| You see, it is not that hard to get one side of the cube to work. If you concentrate on just one color it is possible to get one side done. Then if you just look at that side – you can begin to think – wow look at me I got the green in order! Yee Ha! In fact we can get so impressed with the success of one side of our lives that we will ignor the rest and even refuse to change anything on the one side to achieve success in another.

Too bad the other 5 sides are a complete mess. But who cares we got the green and the yellow down!
In order to really solve the puzzle you have to let one area of success break down in order to move forward. We cannot obsess over one side not being completely done all of the time. In fact some areas might even get a little more chaotic before they get better. But we are not focused on just the completion of 1 or 2 sides. That cannot be our goal. We need to have a complete life, and if the goal is a complete life, a complete cube we need to focus on that and not on just one side.
I’ve been writing a lot this week on this topic, and I’m doing that because I think that it is extremely important to get into our brains. We have to focus on the whole.
I’m not talking about giving up on a side. That is not solving the puzzle either. If we get the gree right, and then destroy it in order to get the blue right, did we really accomplish anything? Not at all.
Life has to be solved in tandum.
I found this video on the net as well about how to solve the cube. Sorry I cannot embed it. He had disabled that feature. He says he is going to help you solve the cube problem in less than 3 seconds. He does so by throwing the cube away. Not exactly a solution, but that is what some of us do about life as well. If we cannot solve it all. Or be happy with only a few sides solve then they just throw it away.
The other thing about the cube is it always seems to get messed up again. No matter how many times you solve it – one of your kids will come around and goof it up again, or your boss, or life in general. But if we learned to solve the whole puzzle once we can do it again and we will do it faster this time. We get better and better at handling all the circumstances life throws at us.
My ecncouragement to you today is to not throw it away. Nor to focus on just one side. But to live a whole life so that in the end we are complete and get better and better at solving the messes life can throw at us.
Be Healthy – Enjoy Life!

U R Right, one area in life might be super sucess but other areas might be complete mess.From outside it all looks cozy but inside, it still gives stress and probelms.The success of every individual is not to work on only an individaul area but to make other araes working in coordination too.
Yes,you are right.Life philosophy is interesting and important also.Video clip is very nice.I learned so many things about the success of life.Many problems in life but we will try for the success.Which tells us about the success of life.Thanking you.
This is a nice article through which we can learn game of Rubik’s cubes.This is very interesting Puzzle game.I have learned through this article only.
That was a pretty profound dream there. I'm sure there is a T-shirt or bumper sticker or something in there somewhere.
