On a Scale of 1-10...
I don’t know about you, but I had a REALLY good weekend. Part of it of course was the season and having my kids home an extra day to enjoy. My wife also cooked up a really nice Sunday dinner which in turn provided for a really good afternoon nap. (I never nap, but maybe once or twice a year, so that is a special treat for me.)
Part of this “feel good” mentality I’ve been experiencing lately is what I’ve been feeding my mind. Now that I’ve decided to let the Traditionalists argue among themselves over whom, (Kim, Scott or Coach) goes to the bathroom more, life is a lot less stressful. I just haven’t had any desire to discuss such issues.
Don’t get me wrong. There was a huge issue for Traditionalist totally unrelated to our industry they warned me to be fearful of, which was responded to by hitting the “delete” button on the computer.
I’ve been able to allow them to live the way they choose, without feeling any need to force my beliefs on them.
It’s all about choice.
So why is it that I can let this all go, while others seem to have a tremendous amount of difficulty?
-Writing affirmations down on notecards?
-Thinking "positive" thoughts?
-Trying to "want it" more?
-Setting goal... after goal... after goal... after goal...?
-Assuming that "massive action" will solve everything?
-Working harder?
None of the above really. (Although, some are viable tools.) I simply let go of their beliefs.
If I told you that you had purple skin, you’d look at me like I’m nuts right? You’d look at your skin and think to yourself, “Where did you come up with that? Everyone knows my skin isn’t purple!”
It’s such a ridiculous notion that it’s really not worth arguing about is it? Nor would you take any ownership in such an outrageous claim. You can see with your own two eyes and can confirm any time you wanted what color your skin is.
So why do we in YTB want to take ownership of some of the mud being thrown up? Come on, you know what I’m talking about, I know you do. I’ve done it. You’ve done it. We’ve all done it at one point or another.
I remember when I first heard this myth that our $226 Million in Travel Weekly were “fees” and not “travel sales”. To be honest, I was livid. I mean it REALLY upset me. Here was our first chance to have a viable third party confirm that YTB does sell Travel, and I see this spin about numbers being “fees”.
How dare they!
You look at the Travel Weekly publication, you look at all the documentation provided from many different sources, and yet it pushed a button for me. Why?
Because the emotion is deeper than that, they’ve been living below the surface. You’re inner world creates your outer world. Just like the roots of all the trees that are starting to bud right now. Where did you think that nourishment came from?
Below the surface.
What’s been shoved down our throats by some is that Network Marketing is bad. We’re supposed to be crooks who take advantage of people, and we have this unattainable dream that we can actually make money doing this. It goes against the conventional, the traditional, and we are changing the way things have always been done. These beliefs are being promoted by those who have no or very little experience in Network Marketing themselves while my experience has been completely the opposite.
You can argue all you want. You can read publication after publication, book after book, listen to tape after tape, call after call of “feel good” stuff, but it won’t amount to much until you remove the underlying limiting beliefs you have inside that head of yours.
I’m going to ask a question, that only you can answer, and you’re free to keep this a secret if you’d like.
All this negative attention YTB has been getting bothers you right? What kind of feelings does it bring up for you? Frustration, anger, resentment, limited self worth, doubt, FEAR.
The good news is, that’s what it’s designed to do. All this comes from “ego” and “ego” is designed to protect us, to help us feel safe and secure.
I’m not going to give you the answer just yet. I want you to think about this for a while. I want you to sit with these emotions, and I also want to give you permission to feel any way you care to about all this.
It’s neither right, or wrong at this point, they are yours, but I want you to think about how you feel about all this. Sit with it for just a day.
Write it all down if you’d like. Write down all the things you don’t like, how awful this all feels.
Just do me two favors.
One, don’t take this out on anyone and two come back tomorrow to see how you can start letting this all go.
The answer will surprise you, but it’s also based on a very old technique that’s been around for centuries.
What’s even cooler is that this technique can be used for any limiting belief or problem. I even saw a television show last night on it on TLC. But I’ll fill you in on that tomorrow.
For now, on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate how you feel about all this? One being nothing, and Ten being extremely charged about all these issues.
The higher the number, the more reason to check back tomorrow.
