Rich Beyond Words

John Carlton had an interesting post on his blog today titled death by habit. It’s true – habits make or break us. Our whole lives consist of habits. You only do what you do because it’s a habit you’ve developed.

There are some obvious things which we all recognise as habits and put them into their classified boxes. Smoking is an example – every body knows it’s a bad habit. Even so many people still puff away. Jogging is considered a good habit.

But if you go deeper you’ll realise that even the way you think is a habit. And as far as I’m concerned that can have horrific effects. Take sleeplessness or anxiety – that stuff begins in the cerebral area and is induced by fear provoking thoughts. Sure you can have a shrink prescribe you feel good pills and heavy valiums but as long as you don’t get those thinking habits solved you’ll become addicted to pills and then you’ve just added another bad habit to the personality.

I’ve been plagued by countless bad habits in my time from smoking to not earning enough money. Whoa! Earning little money is a bad habit? Sure it used to be for me. I just wouldn’t adopt a responsible attitude towards money and over spend – not balance my books etc. Not doing something is the same as having a bad habit.

Watching drivel on the idiot box is also a very bad habit. Just think of all the time that gets wasted and all the stuff that gets impregnated onto the subconscious mind. It’s a fact that we get emotionally involved with the stuff we’re watching and reading. So spending time with crap means you’ll always be resonating on that level and then the law of attraction becomes impossible to work positively for you. (The law of attraction works 24 hours a day whether you believe it or not) Staying tuned in on that level will only bring all that closer to home. That’s why people love watching all those awful reality shows – cause they can relate. Rather they should be watching uplifting programms and taking self development courses and soon they’ll leave all that behind. But yeah having you looser friends leave you can be scary.

I’ve always been looking for ways to improve my life. i just never was satisfied with the status quo.  It took a long time and I’m still learning that this is my game – it’s always up to me and not up to them. I think that’s the hardest part – often I want to blame a bad habit on some one else.  Like when I used to have money problems it was somebody elses’ fault. When I smoked cigarettes I always had a reason – they stressed me, they do it to or they don’t know how i feel. I honestly believed that cigarettes were helping me. Ask smokers they believe if it weren’t for cigarettes they’d be highly strung, nervous etc. All just an excuse to keep on ruining yourself.

Now I know that absolutely everything in my life is dictated by me and not them. You can say aah but the recession is not my fault. Truth is times have never been better for me. I was having a recession when the economy was thriving. It takes effort to watch every thought you have and to disclipine yourself. But if you honestly and truly love yourself you realize you are worth the effort and nobody else is gonna do it for you.

I’ve tried many programmes and read tons of books to better myself. Some had an effect and others didn’t.

Here’s a video of me showing you the CD’s I used to break lots of bad habits.
