Here’s A Challenge For You!
As I was sorting out all the information we received from Mike Kemski as part of our Banabu business package, I was particularly intrigued by a challenge he makes in one of the free reports you can get your hands on…
Basically, it is very simple…
Do not, under any circumstances, complain about ANYTHING for 1 week!
Hah!
Just four weeks ago, I lived my life in a veil of cynicism… This would almost be impossible to achieve!
Even a short road-trip to the local supermarket with me was an “experience” to be endured… It’s absolutely amazing how many idiots I can find to grumble about on the road in the (really long) 1.1 km trip to the supermarket in the country town in which I live.
Silly old farts, stupid hoons, “what the’s” left, right and centre! They are everywhere!!!
Imagine how I was going to “survive” a much longer 18 hour (return) road trip to the big city with all that traffic and everything else!
So… instead of trying to cut out complaints about “ANYTHING”… I decided just to concentrate on the more obvious “road rage” I had… not that is was really all that “ragey” in the first place
Just low level verbal muttering…
Well, surprisingly, just me being “aware” of the fact that I was so openly and verbally critical of other drivers, made a difference in the first few days of my challenge.
The road trip? It went well… and with the exception of a couple of minor lapses of concentration (why DO they insist on doing line-marking on major highways in school holidays anyway???)… I’m here to report that the journey was actually quite pleasant! Especially tiring after nine hours behind the wheel on the homeward leg, but nowhere near as exhausting as it could have been if I’d been so on the alert for all the idiots!!!!
And just yesterday as I headed off to the supermarket again (some four weeks after my challenge started) I didn’t notice anything or anyone I could really complain about!
In fact, in general, my cynical-meter has been operating at a very low level as well… Now that has to be better for me (and everyone around me) too!
Enough about me… What about you?
Go ahead… give it your best shot. You’ll be surprised at how conditioned your behaviour is, and the effects it is having on you.
Take just one thing in your life that you are unhappy about (for me, it was my road “rage”) and consciously attempt to change it!
And when you DO make the change, you’ll notice the benefits of NOT adding all that negative energy to your life experiences.
Then… take it to the next level and make a decision to ONLY find the good and right in all the things you experience.
Oh… the free reports?
Sorry… I almost forgot!
Just enter your name and email into the boxes at the right, and we’ll send it to you. What I discussed above is in the “bonus” report that comes in a couple of days.
