I never seem to notice if something is EASY or not. Just, do I WANT IT?

This was interesting to me.

 

Let's talk about metaprograms a bit.

 

When I was a kid growing up, I got one pair of tennis shoes for all

year, and all weather, freezing snow, rain, blab, blab, blab.

 

I did not even know that underwear existed until I went to Junior High

school and " noticed " during PE that all the other guys were wearing

something underneath their pants.

 

And I was a real skinny kid.

 

Why?

 

The food around the house didn't taste good.

 

French toast was made with powdered milk and no eggs.

 

Pancakes was made with water added to flour.

 

The noon meal at school (this was before government handouts) was a

shitty peanut & jelly sandwich...which I always tossed into a field on

the way to school...so no lunches...

 

You get the picture?

 

So, real early on, I found out about money and what money could get me

that I could not get without it.

 

So here's this real skinny 6 year old kid picking black berries all

summer, at 50 cents a gallon, making tons of money...then the paper

route...blab, blab, blab...

 

So, to me, the lack of money was something that I noticed was my

responsibility when I was almost in diapers...

 

....and the acquistion of money became something that was a simple

task. A task I " was responsible " for, and no one else.

 

I think I told the story about wanting a Gran Prix radio, and I told

me father. He just looked at me, and told me, sure, go ahead and get

one, but did not give me any money, just the permission...

 

....so I started doing work for OTHER PEOPLE (NOT sleazing off of

friends and family) and made the money in about 5 days, and went and

bought it.

 

My point is, right now, we've 5 working computers in the home...

 

....we have 3 working computers in the office...

 

And, when one goes on the blink, we get it fixed, or buy a new one...

 

....always going for the DEAL, of course;-)

 

....I must have 80 pairs of shoes (though the only ones I seem to wear

are those Nike slip-ons)...

 

At one time I had 18 Rolex's (I finally sold 10 of them)...

 

I've got 3 pickups, two cars, 7 motorcycles...

 

My barn, my garage, and my 3,700 house is filled to the brim and

overflowing with " goodies " ...

 

I've hundreds of thousands of bucks worth of personal jewelry, which I

never wear, in fact most of it has been stored secure for about 9

years...

 

When I carry a gun, I normally carry two guns...

 

And I'm not going to tell you how many I actually have...

 

When I carry a knife, I always carry 3-5 knives...

 

And I bet I have at least 1,500 knives in storage, knives that I love

and have used at one time or another...

 

When I want more money for a new truck, or a vacation, or whatever...

 

....I just focus a bit, using that special state of mind, and I figure

out real quick, how to get what I want...then I take immediate action

and go and get it.

 

And I never seem to notice if something is EASY or not.

 

What I notice is, " Is it VALUABLE TO ME? " ...

 

.... " Is it VALUABLE ENOUGH to me, to get off my ass and do what is

necessary to get it? "

 

....If the answer is, YES, then I just DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, until I

HAVE IT!

 

So, to me, life seems real simple.

 

Group?

 

How is your life going?
