My OperaThe DNA of Bugs Bunny
Wednesday, November 30, 2011 6:28:10 AM
Why is it that no matter what he’s facing, Bugs Bunny always wins? Regardless of whether he is in a face to face battle with dim-witted rabbit hunter Elmer Fudd, at odds with explosive Yosemite Sam, building creative ploys to prevent Marvin the Martian from ruining the Earth, or matching wits with Wile E. Coyote, Bugs Bunny always finds a tactic to climb to the top. Other than the fact that the writers designed it that way, here’s just what makes Bugs Bunny’s winning DNA distinct:
1. Bugs Bunny expects to win. Always. And what that implies is that he is never discouraged and has not even a shred of self doubt. He is confident of achieving success and goes about his merry way anticipating good outcomes.
Do you anticipate winning in your career? Do you expect to win in your life? Or are you the type of person that expects things to go bad? Are you sure of your success or do you contemplate if your time for success will ever come? Your outcomes are a direct product of the expectations you have. Begin to look deeply at the true anticipations that you have for yourself and consciously direct your thoughts to have better expectations.
2. Bugs Bunny is always calm, finding a way to minimize or refocus the conflict in every scenario. “Ehh, What’s up Doc?” is his humble way of disarming other characters and building relationships. He never frets; he believes it will all turn out fine.
Are you consumed with fear? Do you find yourself nervously dealing with events in your life? The worry, guilt, frustration and anxiety that we feel (usually over things that we can't handle) consumes our energy and adversely impacts our outcomes. Just imagine experiencing life believing that things will all end up fine, feeling relaxed and at peace always. One of the most powerful methods for creating a calm frame of mind is the process of journaling and using the exercise of writing to get rid of the fear and redirect to ideas that are empowering and align with the outcomes you are searching for.
3. Bugs Bunny is resourceful and makes use of all kinds of witty ways to distract and confuse his opponents. He invents new paradigms and offers them to his enemies. In one episode called ‘Hare Tonic’, Bugs escapes Elmer by deceiving him into thinking there's a terrible outbreak of “Rabbit-itus”.
Are you using all of the resources at your fingertips to assure success? Do you tap into the people, the technology, the books, and the historical success clues to help you mobilise your efforts towards winning? Write a list of all of the means that you have access to and plan how you will methodically tap into each.
4. Bugs Bunny goes the distance. He does whatever it takes to win. He's willing to hide in a cannon, perform an opera, and dress up just like a lady to have the job done. He's open, he's willing and he knows exactly how to have a great time in the process.
Are you ready to go the distance to get the job done? Are you willing to suspend your fear, even temporarily, and go ahead to reach your goals? Create a vision of your success and write it down. What does it look like? What does it feel like? What do you have to do to make it happen? Are you ready?
Bugs Bunny is a winner. Do you have Bugs Bunny’s DNA?
