thanks for the input and for dropping in…

cheers

I have had to come in and help repair and heal some of the damage done by these myths in clients’ lives. A lot of this has reinforced the idea that if it feels good it must be true attitude. This kills off the ability to discern what is really happening, accept personal responsibility and see clearly.

It is soooo seductive to become “insight junkies” thinking a change in thinging or pespective is all I have to do. It takes new thinking and new action.

This is good and will serve. Thanks!

It was a tad late when I wrote that comment. Its all good

you’re getting way too smart.

Stop all that reading!

I might challenge you on the –

“Motivation is THE first thing that makes us want to take action towards what we want to do and what decisions we make”

I think you’ll find pleasure and pain are where the motivation comes from in the first place… our desire to move away from pain or towards pleasure..

thanks for your thoughts.

maybe you and I could do a duet… we’d enjoy it evem if no-one esle would!

For those who may not have seen this TV program (or any of the 1500 franchised versions), it’s essentially a singing competition.

There was a young girl auditioning who had a voice that could bend metal and make your eardrums bleed. To use the correct technical term, it was BAD. Having been told by the judges that she couldn’t sing and would not be going through to the next level of the competition, she violently protested that the judges didn’t know talent when they saw it.

As an exercise in humiliation (and let’s face it, that’s mostly what “reality” TV is based on), one of the presenters took her to a local bar and challenged her to sing in public. The deal offered to the patrons was that if they liked her singing they should stay put, but otherwise they should vacate their seat and move temporarily into the next room. It took this girl approximately 30 seconds to empty the bar.

I’m all for setting your goals high, but there are definitely some things that we need to be realistic about. Personally I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’m never going to be Ella Fitzgerald, but I’m still going to enjoy singing and participate in whatever way I can.

mmm, me either.

I agree… there’s lots I can’t do but lots I can…

We can all succeed if we work at it.

thanks for saying hi.
