No, I took a second option, self publishing, cheap? Definately, but very little exposure, so, few people see it, but who knows, those few people might eventually tell millions, my dream has been achieved, although still in the making, it has started. Thank you very much for your site and e mails young man; YOU ARE DOING AN INCREDIBLE JOB.

Thank you for the great post

Life can be wonderful if u follow this.

By a dialectical process we eventually arrived at the conclusion that she should reconfigure her consciousness to end the perception that life is a near-impossible struggle up a near-vertical mountain to reach a near-unattainable peak from which the only possible progression would be downward.

The reconfigured perception is that consciousness is like a journey on a long, long river and the journey continues no matter what you do. Along the way, you have “attachments”, where you share your consciousness with things, whether career moves, hobbies or whatever. But you have to accept that as the journey continues you may become detached from some or all of them.

We talked about Richard S. Fuld and how he had always worked for Lehmann Brothers and finally became CEO and boss of 30,000 people. He speculated that he must have felt that he had achieved all of his career goals and was now in a kind of Nirvana because he had no intention of leaving and there was nowhere higher he could go. But if he was still to motivate himself with goals, they had to be business goals, and increasingly bold and daring.

Then Lehmann Brothers collapsed. It turned out that being CEO of Lehmanns wasn’t Nirvana after all, it was an attachment and now he was detached from it. But he was still alive and still conscious and able to look back on the whole thing as something that had happened somewhere back up the river. It was a FEATURE of his life but not actually his life.

My Best Friend is finding it hard to abandon the goals that seemed to be the entire purpose of her life. But now we’re focusing our minds on how to retain the aspirations and accord them their appropriate value, but see them as ongoing ideals, and – no matter how vitally important they may be – treat them as “attachments” to central consciousness.

I wanna talk about EXPECTATIONS. You mentioned that you have all these ideas in your head of exactly what a fun event will be. But, you know what? Of all the things I’ve heard of that make people unhappy, disappointed and frustrated with their lives, expectations have to be Number One. People are disappointed by a great stage show because it wasn’t quite what they expected. People are disappointed when they have a date with someone because he/she didn’t act quite how they expected. People buy an amazing dress for a party or some other major event then take it back to the store next day because when they tried it on in their own bedroom it wasn’t quite what they expected it to look like. You see what I’m saying? All of these things were absolutely FINE in themselves, and the problem is caused by the dissonance between the actuality and the expectation. Expectations are damaging and corrosive. They are unhealthy. They can make people bitter and cynical because everything always falls short of what they hoped for so life is one long series of disappointments.

So what I’m saying is that it’s better to keep your mind as blank as possible about something that’s about to happen. Don’t anticipate it. Don’t picture it. Don’t fantasize about it. Don’t worry about how it might turn out. Switch off your imagination and try to put all of your concentration into ACTIONS rather than creating mental scenarios. Got it?!
