The Second Step In Beating Addiction Is To Stop The–

Hi everyone,

Once you understand that you create your own reality, and that you can change your reality, you have to learn that everything you’ve been taught is this:

A LIE!

Your parents may have told you years ago: “You’ll never amount to anything.”

And, YOU believed them.

Why?

Because they were your parents.

Your parents aren’t supposed to lie.

And, to be honest, they didn’t mean to lie, most likely.

They were trying to get you to kick-start yourself.

But, they didn’t understand how the human mind works.

Your mind was designed to believe whatever it is told.

Let me demonstrate.

If I’m standing in front of you right now, and I say, –

Hold on, before I continue that.

Don’t look right now, right next to your foot is biggest hairiest spider I’ve ever seen.

Did your heart accelerate for a minute when you read that?

(And, if there actually was a big hairy spider, I apologize, but I’m glad I warned you in time.)

You see, your mind, for just a split second, may well have believed that you had a spider at your feet.

And, your body reacted by a quickening of the pulse. And, a fear started to set in.

And, even though it was a lie–

your mind and body reacted as though it were the truth.

And, that’s what’s happened your whole life.

The government will tell you that college is your best shot at success.

Yet, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, (Microsoft and Apple) respectively, never completed college.

Do you start to get the idea?

Just because you’ve been told something from a person in authority that you respect–

DOES NOT MAKE IT THE TRUTH!

But, that was part of your reality.

So, for example, when somebody tells you that quitting smoking is six times harder than quitting heroin–

you have chosen the reality to believe that.

(I can’t testify to that fact, because I never did heroin.)

But, even though you now know that might not be the truth, how do you apply that information to help you to quit whatever your addiction is?

Next time, we’ll explore that.

(Ain’t you glad this isn’t a television series finale that will make you wait until next January to see how it ends up?)

Make it a great day!

    It is no secret. It’s part of why we Live Large On No Budget. We moved from Billings, MT to Stanley, ND where we purchased a house for $7,500 cash, which has seen a 650% increase in value in 13 years.
