Attitudes aren’t born, they are constructed over time
The last few days of T4D’s about the power of positive perception taken from Beyond Illusions have brought lots of wonderful and insightful comments from you guys. One from Daniel of ”Down Under” of Australia was especially relevant. He references a posible solution for those in our lives who are are in a miserable state…and unwilling to change. He says the solution may be a wet fish?? Daniel writes….
Kirk,
James Allen opined that people “…are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they there-fore remain bound.” has gone straight into my favourites…
No doubt you have heard as often, most likely far more than me, when speaking to someone who is in need of an attitude transfusion and encouraging them to read a few good books…they respond, “Oh but I’m not like that, I’m not like you, I’m not into that positive stuff”. It’s times like this I wish I was carrying a *wet fish in my pocket, I’m sure just a gentle slap would do it, to assist in their understanding that maybe they need to read to become ‘like that’ themselves. Attitudes aren’t born, they are constructed over time with diligence and application.
cheers, Daniel (*No fish were harmed in the creation of this comment)
Don’t know about the rest of you ….but tomorrow in my effort to inspire some of my miserable co-workers to be less miserable…. Ill be bringing a wet fish to work. Thanks Daniel ! :) ~ Kirk Out
