Those NASTY people out there are REFLECTIONS from YOUR inner mind!

[Guest guest]

Defensive mechanisms, shit I don't have any of those ;>, so I can't

just dismiss this post, and if I don't do the drill then I will stay

where I am - damn it Doc that means I have to improve and enjoy my

life :>

 

Ok, by taking responsibility for whatever happens in my life, gives

me the power to be at cause (rather than effect). For example, if I

am unfit, then I could make excuses and says its because I have to

work long hours, travel extensively, not have time to workout etc,

etc. So I stay in a stuck state because I am stating that other

things have power over me. Or I could find out how I got from 'how

I was before' to overweight. Then plan how I can achieve my desired

state and then do step one, then two.....until my goal is achieved.

 

Regards,

 

Michael.

Doc,

 

What a load of crap.

 

" Everybody " knows that God, the universe and the

government are responsible.

 

If God wanted me to be rich I would have been

born into a different family. And he would have made

me skinny so all the Cheetos and pop I consume while

watching TV wouldn't go to my waistline.

 

If I would have prayed hard enough my business

wouldn't have failed and my girlfriend wouldn't have

left me for a bisexual sideshow roadie. Just because I

was inexperienced and ignored all the advice I was

given doesn't mean God still shouldn't have saved me.

 

Spending time every day doing the drills and

studying takes too much time away from hanging out

with my drinking buddies. Besides, if one of them wins

the lottery I'm sure they'll share.

 

Damn it! I'm an American and deserve my monthly

check. And you have all those immigrants that come

over here and live in poverty while working 16 hours a

day until they save up enough to start there own

business and become millionaires. They're taking away

jobs from us " real " Americans. Ship them all back.

 

My life sucks because it was " meant to be. "

 

-Doug

 

P.S. I think I just made myself sick typing all that.

I agree. Becoming conscious of my responsibility for my life and everything

that I had, up until now, attracted (or not) is what allowed me to take

responsibility for attracting more of what i want into my life. Acting the

same way as I always have done will bring me what I have always had so if i

want something different I need to put something different in place.

 

Whenever I felt tired and thought " damn I don't feel like treating today " ,

clients would cancel in droves so I took control of my thought process and

after eighteen months my business is more successful than my colleagues who

have been in business for ten years or more.

 

With responsibility has come greater understanding of what my motivating

factors are and have been.

 

I believe that I chose this life for the lessons I need to learn. In many

ways it is up to me to decide whether to learn them the hard way or the

easier way.

 

I think that the law suit culture, amongst other things, we live in

encourages a victim mentality. A victim (in much the same way as a patient)

is not empowered. With responsibility come rights and the right to have

something other than that which I don't want.

 

And none of this means that i no longer have blocks/stuff I don't want etc

etc......I just have less of it and more of what I want.....

 

Bit of a " stream of consciousness " post but what the heck....

Hi Chris,

 

I could not have expressed this whole concept better.

 

Thanks,
