How much TV do you watch?

Your mindset is in fact, your unconscious, and yet it
drives every action and reaction you make whether
you realize it or not, and the results show in whatever
profession you are involved with as well as your life.
There has been a boatload of talk about mindsets in
recent years, but very few people know what they
are and even less know how to address and change
them.

In a nutshell, your mindset is your mental programm-
ing, and to a very large extent, we are all programmed
and being programmed everyday by the society we
live in, our surroundings, where we work, by the people
we associate with, and where we worship. Our mindset
is determined by the combination of all these
experiences and more. Our values, beliefs, self-image,
attitudes, and habits that are lodged in our unconscious
mind form our mindset. They determine every action,
reaction, and every result we have in our life. You can
typically double or triple your results by dealing with
the very causality that forms the foundation of our
mindset. I have witnessed this time and time again,
and I’ve personally experienced it in my own life.

Whatever we tell ourselves over and over, it leaves
an imprint on our subconscious mind much like the
grooves of a record. The same thing keeps repeating,
and repeating and our results never change. Have
you ever heard the old saying, “If you keep doing
what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what
you’ve always gotten?” That is very much the truth.

Every time we turn on the TV, we are bombarded by
commercial after commercial with the fast paced
“Lettering”, the “Flashing” of images on the screen.
Now, think about all of those commercials you see
everyday or night and ask yourself how the commercial
may have influenced your thinking. Bet you have to
admit, it did at least a little bit. What if you watch that
same commercial over and over again, how deep in
your subconscious mind did it leave an impression?

All of this has been proven to leave subliminal
messaging on our subconscious mind. This subliminal
messaging does work. If you have any doubts, watch
someone suck on a lemon and see what goes through
your mind. Sit down to relax, turn the TV on and see
a commercial about someone quenching a thirst, then
see if you suddenly become thirsty. Watch someone
yawn, how much time passed before you yawned
yourself?

Think about the last song you heard on the radio.
Was it a happy song, or was it a song of “Deep, dark
depression”? What did the song have to say that was
positive? Did the singer sing of a divorce, did they
sing of losing every thing they had? Did the singer
sing about getting drunk, on drugs, owing more than
they could pay, or some impeding disaster? What did
the words of the song say to you? How many times
have you heard that same song, and what impression
did it leave on your subconscious mind? Did it leave
you with a feeling of comfort, or a feeling of despair?
Did the song leave you feeling good about life, your
family, did you rejoice or did it leave you feeling
numb? What did you feel after you listened to the
song?

If I tell you not to think about your bills, what do
you end up thinking about? If I say something like,
“Gee, you sure look down in the dumps today”,
what effect does it have on you? If you happen to
see someone at work you are not particularly fond
of, but tolerate, how does it make you feel? Like it
or not, we are all mentally programmed everyday
by someone or some thing. If we don’t get control
of what goes into our subconscious mind, whatever
goes in will get control of us. Now, doesn’t this make
you want to pay a little more attention to what you
listen too? It does me.

And I’ll leave it on that note till next time.

The Brick

A young and successful executive was traveling down
a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new
Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from bet-
ween parked cars and slowed down.

When he thought he saw something As his car passed,
no children appeared.Instead, a brick smashed into the
Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakesand backed
the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been
thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed
the nearest kid and pushed him up againsta parked car
shouting, "What was that all about and who are you?
Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and
that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why
did you do it?"

The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister...please,
I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do," He pleaded.
"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."
With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the
youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's
my brother, "he said "He rolled off the curb and fell out
of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive,
"Would you please help me get him back into his
wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow
the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly
lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair,
then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the
fresh scrapes and cuts.

A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful
child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the
man simply watched the boy! Push his wheelchair-
bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The
damage was very noticeable, but the driver never
bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the
dent there to remind him of this message:

"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to
throw a brick at you to get your attention!"

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.
Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He
has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen
or not.

Down Time

Okay, that’s enough down time. Now its time for me
to get busy and make this blog work. By that, I mean
to make this blog what it didn’t start out to be – a
blog for a payday.

I must confess, I do not enjoy putting on that uniform
every day and driving forty miles to work (which
takes me an hour), getting off at 10PM and driving
forty miles back home. That’s ridicules! The air
pollution people are out in numbers telling us to car
pool but never stop to think about those of us who
have no way to make that work for us. Maybe they
can car pool or ride a bus, but there are vast numbers
of us who can’t. If we end up being born without a silver
spoon in our mouth, we have to work for a living. Often
times, that means driving, driving, and driving.

As I looked at the paycheck situation, work situation,
and the chances I’d win the lottery jackpot, I decided
to put my noggin to work on a plan to make money
without the lottery. Anyway, I think I stand a better
chance of being struck by lightning than hitting the
jackpot. So, making a paycheck with this blog is the
direction I’m going to concentrate on now.

Nuff said for now.
