GTC - Lesson 2

As I mentioned in your previous lesson – people will often cut short positive actions – like meditation or learning an instrument -- because they just don't "feel in the flow" that day. They further argue that setting boundaries by committing to a set amount of practice or study time each day is "unnatural."

Boy isn't our Divided Mind cunning... It picked a term like "unnatural" to stop us from committing to consistent actions that would make us happier, healthier and wealthier.

After all, being all-natural, green and organic is the way to go.

But if someone has smoked a pack of cigarettes every day for the last thirty years – I can guarantee you they are going to find that it feels very "unnatural" to stop smoking.

But smoking certainly isn't natural. We didn't come out of the womb smoking cigarettes. Sure, in Indonesia you can see videos of kids smoking as early as two-years old.

One toddler on the island of Sumatra -- who has become world famous – "would go crazy, slamming his head on the floor and even got sick if he doesn't have his two packs a day." The video was horrifying.

You only have to look at the somewhat "freaky" video of that overweight toddler smoking 40 cigarettes a day to realize that it may be "uncomfortable" for him to quit – but it certainly wasn't natural for him to continue.

Likewise, whenever we set new boundaries on our life (either to avoid a bad habit or create a good one) it may be uncomfortable at first. But if it is going to make our life better then it's certainly not unnatural.

You know what's really unnatural? Not being able to stick to something if we know it's going to improve our lives. That's unnatural!

And it's certainly not "living in the flow." That is living in fear of taking action.

Not taking action may be "comfortable." Especially if that's what someone has been doing all their life. But it sure isn't natural.

We humans give way too much importance to emotional likes and dislikes. "I love this. I hate this." We'd be far happier if we focused on what we WANT instead of what we "like."

To start going after what you really want in life, building incredible amounts of will power and determination, stay tuned for your next lesson.

P.S. One of the things that makes my approach so different is that I focus more on stories rather than thoughts and beliefs.

Most teachers try to help you change negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs into positive ones. But what if we could get to the root of all thoughts, feelings and beliefs?

What if we could literally re-write the stories being retold inside of our subconscious?

Every experience you've had, every book you've read, every TV program you've seen has all been recorded as stories in your subconscious. Those stories are guiding your life.

You need to decide which stories you want directing your thoughts and actions and which need to go.

Stay tuned for my next email...

Because I'm going to give you a quantum leap towards doing exactly that. :)
