My email box is always full of too many offers to change my life. I don't have time to read them nor do I want to. Yes I signed up for them hoping to gain some insight into understanding life, just a little bit more. Yet so few are real. It is all about the sell, sign up and follow me. I have found the road to a better life. Sometimes I do come across some honesty and I take what I can use from their teaching. Tony Robbins was one of the first speakers I listened to years ago. He didn't play with his words and he spoke with a common sense approach to improving people's lives. He just made sense and the rest was up to us to take what we learned and make use of it. I guess that is why he is still having a big impact on the lives of millions of people, including me.
Today I decided to clean up my inbox and so I opened three emails and started to listen before deleting them. Within minutes I had to turn them off because it just didn't connect. They played with their words and twisted them around over and over again. Seriously they were not making any sense. Now I have almost twenty years of studying this stuff and I guess I am able to spot an attempt at a good marketing scheme. I am sorry but no thank you. People are real, their feelings, pain, and stories are real. There is no way that some of this stuff is ever going to do them any good. Actually they are not going to get it and it will just make them feel worst.
Am I going to be able to make a difference in some woman's life. Can I tell her something that she is going to accept, despite the elements of her story. I guess I am going to try and fight fire with fire by telling her another story, one where she can maybe find some understanding and acceptance.
Well back to work, I have a crystal ball to work on... just kidding!
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own hearts is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
