Default Re: Another spin on why we don't succeed...'One solution'

I read the excerpt from Robert Fritz's book earlier and it had a somewhat profound effect on my thinking after I got through with it.
I've spent the last few hours driving around in my car thinking about the 2 "elastic bands" for "VISION" and "CONCEPTUAL COMPLEXES". Some heavy stuff and very on the mark.
I wrote down all of my conceptual complexes and visions and have spent a good deal of time this afternoon and this evening thinking about how to eliminate the negative obstacles. I think I've got something, at least for now:
This might sound extreme, but what if, instead of trying to re-program one's thoughts, they simply identified the things that "pull" them from their vision and eliminated these things completely. For example if one of the things that has kept you from reaching new heights in your business is the late-night TV shows, then what if you were to take your TV, box it up and put it up in the farthest, darkest corner of your attic, behind several other large boxes. Then, the following evening, when you feel compelled to watch TV, you wouldn't be able to, and the hassle of climbing into your attic and going into the farthest, darkest corner and moving the other heavy boxes wouldn't be worth the few hours of satisfaction. Of course, this is just one example. It's kind of like a "cold turkey" approach to eliminating one's conceptual complexes.
Now I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of something like this, but I'm curious as to what some of you think of this idea of taking your conceptual complexes and then eliminating them in whatever way they need to be eliminated.
In some cases, this may require making some extreme adjustments, but if that's what it takes, right? wrong? let's talk about it. I'm fascinated by this concept of structural tensions.
