You are an amazing creation that is always learning. Those that study behavior articulates the idea that doubt is predicated on the attribution theory of partial reinforcement and extinction of negative thoughts. The mind has the magnificent responsibility to protect the body by regulating the brain, and some may say, also the gut, to warn off danger.

A personal experience in putting Gench Gebutsu to practice, involved my first skydive. Listening to many others on their apprehension to jump from a plane that is not on the ground, seemed preposterous. Then I considered those that jumped, and they described it as an exhilarating experience that I will never forget. I went to see.

This is what I saw. I observed groups of anxious people unsure of this new experience. I observed the jump instructions on how to put on the gear and what to expect, from walking to the plane to landing on the ground. I sat outside and watched planes take off, watched for them in the sky, and waited with anticipation as jumpers jumped. I observed how newbies landed and raised their arms in triumph! The community that developed in that moment, but for an hour, was very memorable. But to observe the action steps of overcoming a fear and the camaraderie of encouragement from those left on the ground is heartwarming.

This go and see experience for me was several visits over a few years. Cognitively, I was very aware and prepared for my first skydive, tandem of course. However, my body, in its role to protect me from danger ignited all the chemical neurotransmitters of fight, flight,

freeze, and fawn. The reality of opening the plane’s door ten thousand miles in the sky sent my gut into flips and my body in to freeze. All the preparations for observation were totally dismissed.

Oh, what a wonderful mind you have when you prepare and go and see for yourself. The ambitious task at hand was to jump. So, my mind shifted to the instructor strapped on my back, it shifted to making certain everything was secure by pulling on the straps several times, it shifted to the realization that I am about to accomplish a goal set for myself. I looked at my husband, who lovingly joined me in this experience, without the mental preparation of years of observation. He is very good at expressing wonderful commitment.

I felt secure and confident that the only way to squelch these butterflies in the gut was to jump and so I did. Instantly the nervousness was gone, and I was able to experience the freedom of a free fall and observe the beautiful nature below and thank God for all those that had the vision and innovative fortitude to design a flying machine and the apparatus of the parachute that allowed me to join others in overcoming a fear and raising my hands in triumph.

There is a foundational concept to ambition. I subscribe to the thought that “sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.” The first time this catchy saying was brought to my attention was on a motivational calendar my son gave me as a gift. I later learned of and read John Maxwell’s book titled, Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Learn.

Those that study behavior articulates the idea that doubt is predicated on the attribution theory of partial reinforcement and extinction of negative thoughts. This theory aligns with the idea that ambition can be enhanced if we learn from our losses. According to B. Weiner, there are three principles:

1. Attribution is a three-stage process: (a) behavior is observed, (b) behavior is determined to be deliberate, and (c) behavior is attributed to internal or external
2. Achievement can be attributed to (a) effort, (b) ability, (c) level of task difficulty, or (d) luck.
3. Causal dimensions of behavior are (a) Locus of Control, (b) stability, and (c)

Casual explanation is stated differently by Harold Kelly:

1. Consensus: whether other people act in the same way in a similar
2. Distinctiveness: whether the person acts in the same way in different
3. Consistency: whether the person acts the same when the situation appears

The state of being in that external influence of Locus of Control can be manipulated. It can be manipulated by your internal values and motivation to overcome the external influence of others and dive deep into the things you are called to accomplish.

What is your skydiving moment to go and see? The attribution theory is also built on reasoning.

Are you willing to reason with yourself, and go and see? Are you willing to encourage your ambition by the things you learned and the things you accomplished?
