"Courage
is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you
can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any
virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage." - Maya

Drops
of Dye...
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea
Waltz
We
often say that we want people to reprogram how they think about the
word "No." But really, is this possible?
Imagine a large bowl… a FISH bowl, let’s
say… filled with water. And imagine that someone puts a
small drop of BLUE DYE into the water. Would the SINGLE drop make the
the entire fish bowl BLUE? No. The drop would dissipate and disappear
in the water, almost as if it were never there.
Imagine however that, over time… a steady flow of blue drops
were added to the bowl. Eventually you’d see the water begin
to turn pale blue… then sky blue… and eventually,
with enough dye, the water would turn a dark navy. Now, if you wanted
to CLEAR UP the water in a fish bowl, all you have to do is DUMP IT OUT
and replace it with fresh water.
Oh… if only it were so easy with the human mind!
With the mind, the rules are very different! Because once a
DROP or THOUGHT has gone into your mind…
it’s… there… forever. There
is no way to simply dump them and start over.
The only way to change the water in your mental fishbowl is to
add positive drops of a different color… say YELLOW, for
example.
Of course, like the blue drops, the YELLOW DROPS will not be noticed at
first, either. But… over time… if we add enough
yellow drops of POSITIVE thoughts to the BLUE water in our mental
fishbowl, eventually it will begin to turn GREEN!
We have all been programmed to think of failure, rejection and hearing
the word “NO” as being bad or negative.
It’s going to take a lot of drops to counteract the limiting
messages that have been “dropped” into your mind
over many years… and RE-COLOR your perspective. But it CAN
be done! (If you don't have it yet, check out our 'Reprogram
How You Think About No' Audio CD.)

"I
think that I have learned by my so-called failures, because I believe
anybody who's out there doing anything constructively is doing
something that they've never done before. They're pushing out of their
comfort zone, so we're subjecting ourselves to a so-called failure or
success every day." - Connie Kadansky
