“Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it.
Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.”
~ Buddha
Tony Robbins teaches that we all have a primary question we ask ourselves whenever we’re under stress.
And it’s not nice.
Can you think of a question that has gone thru your brain for most of your adult life whenever you get a little stressed?
Mine?
“Am I going to look stupid?”
Not a very empowering question. To say the least.
Think about it. The answer to that question is never going to be: “Oh, No! You? You’re going to look like a genius right now! Go for it! Everyone’s going to love you!”
It’ll be more like, “Yah, you will look stupid. Remember when you forked that thing up before? Everyone looked at you funny? You got all sweaty and freaked out? Yah. That’s gonna happen here, too. Fer schizzle. Whatever you do, DO NOT(!!) do it!!”
Yikes!
So….Any more ideas on what your question might be?
Anyhoo, my question stopped me from doing ALL KINDS OF THINGS (from dancing to relaxing in bed (“OMG! Am I going to look stupid?!!?) :))
The idea?
Get clear on the fact that you have a question that’s running the show. Figure out what it is.
And, most importantly, replace it.
My empowered question?
How can I let God flow thru me?
THAT is a MUCH MUCH MUCH better question to ask myself when faced with a stressful situation, no?
Yours?
Change the question and change your life.

Well, I have considered myself to be very fortunate in that I have been able to do mostly only that which my inner self told me to do… I am also aware that I do receive much criticism from the outside world for what I do and some people actually get angry at me. But this does not really touch me because I feel that these people do not live in he same world as do I.
