Your Guilt

Published: Sun, 10/05/14

You know , if you look at the
blog posts, statuses, videos, etc. that we
personal development types put out, many
of them have the same basic message...
 
Get off your ass and start living actively,
not watching other people do it.
 
Of course we try and say it nicer than that,
with a little more respect (smiling).
 
Because we don't want to make you so mad
at us that you tune out.
 
And also because most of us really do love
and respect you. I know I do, even if you've
been sitting there watching your life go by.
 
Then there are some trainers who yell at you,
curse at you, get your attention by appealing to
the guilt you feel over not having done what you
say you want to do.
 
I get it. Larry Winget is one of the best there is.
 
Not my style. In my 25 years of coaching and
counseling experience, I figured out attracting
people by appealing to their guilt just brings on
more of the same.
 
They'll pay for what you've got. But they usually
don't stick with it. 
 
They'll do the deal for ten minutes, or ten days.
 
Then they flake, and feel badly about themselves.
 
Until the next thing entices them.
 
And the process repeats.
 
You get the idea.
 
This wasn't supposed to be a note about your guilt.
 
It was supposed to be another one of those,
"Stop letting everyone else be successful while you
sit on the sidelines and watch" notes.  :)
 
And it still is. There's a great blog post that goes
along with it. You can CLICK HERE to check it out.
 
The people who take the risks and do the deal and
make the mistakes are the ones who get rich.
 
And lose weight, and get healthier.
 
And get better relationships. And (I'm guessing)
die with a sense of peace, not regret.
 
The ones who watch other people do it are
only living halfway.
 
And from experience, it's often because they're
held down by a sense of guilt.
 
Either for mistakes they actually made...
 
Or for messages they got along the way, that
they wound up believing.
 
It's the Number One thing Diane and I see in
The Guru Code.
 
And the Number One thing DeAnna and I see
in  The iii Method For Ultimate Health.
 
We have amazing ways to help you get more
influence, more leadership, more money...
 
More health, more muscle, more energy
and less weight.
 
But the age old thing is true...
 
You've gotta see yourself as in it and of it.
 
Not from the sidelines, watching other people
do it.
 
And you have to feel good, beautiful and worthy
of the success that goes along with the commitment.
 
Focusing on your guilt doesn't do that.
 
It just brings more of the same.
 
We're going to be offering some more stuff.
Top quality. I'm not embarrassed to say it!
 
But if you want to position yourself to take
advantage of whatever training will help you
succeed...
 
Lose Your Guilt.
 
The best starting place I know of is
HOW TO RECEIVE.
 
Because it will help you lose the guilt, and replace
it with whatever is supposed to come next.
 
Whether that's self-love. Or a sense of commitment.
 
Or dissatisfaction with how you've been living,
which is a totally different emotion than guilt.
 
More on this subject soon. I've got stuff to do!
 
Much Love,
Larry
 
P.S.: It's OK to criticize other people, even yourself.
It's what we have to do in order to grow.
 
But please do it from a place of knowing what you're
capable of...not other nonsense, belittling messages
you bought into from a less enlightened past.
 
I love you. And I believe in you.
 
If that helps you start the journey...all the better.
