Host: What is the importance of the measuring component?

Gary Ryan Blair: The second is measurable and the same way that we keep score in sports, if you look at a score card and this is a great thing about sports because life really is a game. In sports they actually keep score throughout the entire game form beginning to end and you know any given moment in time if your team is winning, losing or if the game is tied. Depending on what your score is and how much time is left on the clock, that will dictate your strategy. Now in relation to goal directed behavior, we also need to look at how things operate in life.

Well, we know that if we drive the road all of sudden we have this little yellow light goes on in a automobile for a gas gauge, that is going to tell us real quick that we go in get some gas, it is a quick measurement system. If we take the time to even look at a recipe or cook book, you will notice that the ingredients specify a tablespoon, a teaspoon for certain type of ingredient everything in life is measured you get it on scale there is measurement system, it gives you an output. You get pulled over by the police for speeding, it was clocking your speed. Your child is sick from as you want keep them home from school one day, you probably going to take your temperature and that is going to give you some type of a number and that lets you know if things are working or if they are not.

So essentially what a measurement system does, it will let you know if you are winning, losing or tied and the best way to look at it, it is the behavior modification system because if you are behind, if you are losing, then you can take corrective action and the only way you know that is through measuring.
