Word Choices can Help in Problem Solving
Thought, word, and deed for reframing your reality
“These newsletters serve a demographic of highly intelligent readers, with a passion for ideas, critical thinking, and unknown possibilities. Readers of my posts are usually really tired of being patronized elsewhere by fact-less, opinionated know-nothings, who complain about everything they don’t like, but lack a willingness to think about, find resources, or create life hacks, shortcuts, and solutions to fix what they don’t like.”

On a personal note: Please excuse grammatical errors, typos, repetition, and any general nonsense, and such in this post. I am getting a bit older now, and I have about 20,000 pages of information that must get published before I leave the mortal coil. I simply write and publish more than my humble editors are able to correct. If you find enough errors you are welcome to contact me about being an editor of my work.

Q. Lewis, How does how we speak influence our reality in terms of problem-solving?
A. Much of self-improvement and personal development involves creativity addressing challenges, obstacles, and other types of problems. There are three key thoughts that connect systems of thinking and language (linguistics) in relation to decision-science, general decision-making tips, and dealing with challenges, obstacles, and other types of problems (COP).
When dealing with complex COPs it is best addressed in systematic partnerships with experts, and with a solid support team who can help you to communicate your needs clearly, and productively. One of the cornerstones of Our Work* is the saying that the quality of your communication is defined by the result it gets irrespective of your intention. With this saying in mind, it will be easier for you to define whether the response you received from a specific communication has met your needs.
After exploring this process I wanted to delve ever deeper into the concept of specialized language. This was not some idle exercise or mind game. What I was exploring here was going to influence the form of life game I was going to create for me.
This led me to the writings of the philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, who I mentioned earlier in this book. I had been asked to study him in college but at the time, I was lost and overwhelmed by the very first paragraph of his book Philosophical Investigations. Wittgenstein’s important, earlier book, Tractatus Logicol Philosophicus was even less accessible to my unformed intellect. Rereading his work opened a door in my mind that made all I had been exploring in game theory come together. His ideas served as a “skeleton key,” enabling me to understand any idea or belief if viewed through the “lens” of game theory and HAGT*.
With an understanding of specialized language, one has the opportunity to choose how to live by rules, codes, and standards. One can decide whether they wish to live a pedestrian life of habit and reaction or experience a life of purpose. No matter what life game we choose to create for ourselves, the words and phrases we use will influence the social, emotional, and intellectual experiences we have and set the fundamental patterns of our life.
“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”
― Roy T. Bennett
Basically, ordinary individuals will play an ordinary life game and will use the ordinary, pedestrian language required to play an ordinary game, as they live an ordinary life. Extraordinary individuals cannot survive in such an environment. They have a need, a drive, and a passion for playing an extraordinary life game and will seek out others with the same sense of mission, passion, and drive. When they come in contact, they are likely to create the unique, specialized language required to play that extraordinary game.
Each of us will be ordinary at times and extraordinary at other times, but there are some who are on a journey to be extraordinary as often and consistently as possible. For such a person, the game they choose and the players they choose to play with will define how ordinary or extraordinary the game they create will be, and how specialized the language used will need to be in order to play that game.
