Hey thanks for the feedback UnleashReality i really appreciate it!
Oracle thanks you aswell! You make some great and valid points! You give this subject a whole different perspective but i think you are missing the point that i was trying to make.
I wouldn't say that someone with a marijuana addiction is a junkie nor is that person going to be sent to rehab for it...at least not here in the states
! A person that is going to rehab has a bad bad drug problem to the point that they are destructive to their self and their surroundings. Im talking needles and selling their body for drugs etc.
This was strictly written from a non NLP point a view. This is based soley off of raw observation in myself, friends and family.
I didn't say anything or write about people that start things with good intentions. If you want to loose weight and fail then you don’t want it bad enough, regardless if it’s hard or not. If you’re not willing to go through the pain or ease involved than you don’t care enough to do it. They don’t mind that they are overweight or out of shape, if they did they would do something about it for their self.
Truthfully I need to loose a good 25 pounds in order to get rid of my sugar gut
! I have "plans" of getting rid of it but my focus isn't caring about that right now. I have tried a few times started working out then got off track and stopped because my intentions weren't geared towards myself.
My focus wasn't strong enough to continue with it. Something else caught my eye and I went after it like a loose dollar bill on the side of the street. My focus got shifted so quickly because I really didn't care either way. I am still happy and people still love me but like i said there is "plans" to do it later down the road if I feel some really strong intentions!
The true reason why people start things that end up failing is because there intentions aren't right in the first place. Bottom line, that is the main reason.
It doesn't mean that your not good at it, it means that you don’t want to put the effort into it because you don’t really want it. They like the idea of a puppy but don’t like the responsibilities and effort involved of keeping the puppy. There intentions are warped!
You are right oracle sometimes people get into things and realize how hard it really is then they get lazy and quit. But before one makes a decision and starts things, you must evaluate your intentions and invest time to see what is truly involved!
Think about the things people succeed in. It’s the things that they put their whole body spirit and mind into. This has nothing to do with morals or good and bad people. It has to do with doing what you want.
A lot of people start their own myspace page with the intention of doing it because everyone else is. They try it, they end up not liking it and then they scrap it.
Then there is the rare exception of people that start a myspace page because everyone has one and they end up loving it and didn't know how they could live without it! They got lucky.
In the real world we do need to make money in order to survive and pay bills, but that doesn't mean you have to do what you are doing. Were your intentions of getting a job not to pay bills? Did your intentions involve that possibly you may not love the job? When you are getting paid happiness is often put in the gutter because you are getting something in return!
If someone got into customer support working with phones that pays pretty well but the person is shy and hates confrontation. Well id this person outweighed there intentions. They have a choice to stay and keep making money or to turn away.
I quit college after one semester and I don’t regret quitting it at all because it wasn't what I really truly wanted. I was seeking approval from a relationship I was in. I thought it was something that I "needed to do" and not what I wanted.
I had to come to that realization to get where i am at today. I love my life and sometimes I will say you have to go through some faulty times in order to get to your real passion in life. You have to fail to succeed and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Everyone I have ever known has told me that there needs to be a complete feeling involved along with dedication and commitment.
The world can be separated into people that want it and people that don’t.
You need to analyze yourself and make sure your intentions are made from solid internal desires and not soft external desires.
