20 ways you make sure your life SUCKS!! (15-20)

Dated: date December 5, 2008 – 10:11 am

Okay, I admit it. I got bored with writing this one two points at a time. I had all 20 and I was just stringing you along. Well, I’m tired of the string so I’m giving you all the rest today :)

15. Being too serious.

You are going to die. There is nothing you are going to do about it. Many cultures believe you choose your time of death before you incarnate. Being serious means you are scared. Being scared is an ineffective state.

16. Working from a dis-empowering context.

I have to. I must. I should. I need to. None of these states are ever true. You always have a choice. Most people make their life suck by pretending that they don’t have a choice thereby creating a context for life that isn’t empowering. Give it up!

17. Not doing what you said you would do.

Opportunities are attracted to reliable people. Your goals and dreams are a function of the promises you make and keep. When you don’t keep your promises, everything gets harder. So think about this, “If your life is hard, consider you aren’t keeping promises.”

18. Doing things half-ass.

Your life is what you are putting into it. If you are not doing things as they are meant to be done, then your life will suck (code for not being the way you want it to be)

19. Not trusting people.

The Drunk Monkey (your mind) is designed to keep you alive in a world where you are definitely going to die. You trust people in direct prorportion to how much you trust yourself. You are getting what you put out.

20. Gossiping.

You get what you give. If you gossip, then people won’t trust you fully. They figure if you talk sh*t about others, then you must do it about them as well. If you gossip about others, then you are tarnishing your own reputation by tarnishing others. Even if what you are gossiping about is true.

Well, there it is. 20 ways you make your life suck. I hope you got value out of this list and stop pretending that outside circumstances are effecting you. If your life sucks, it’s all your fault.

20 ways you make sure your life SUCKS!! (part 7)

Dated: date December 1, 2008 – 6:14 pm

Isn’t it crazy how many things you can do to make sure your life totally sucks? My clients make their lives so difficult by being unconscious and irresponsible. But then again, it’s not easy to be conscious and responsible. So let’s keep the list going.

13. Talking about the past verses talking about what you are committed to.

What you focus on will manifest. What you talk about people hold you accountable to. If you are constantly talking about the past you will get stuck in the past because people will expect your past to be your present. If you talk about what you are committed to, then people will begin to expect that from you and like gravity you will be pulled into it. What have you been talking about lately? The way it is or the way you are going to make it?

14. Being too serious.

One of my mentors, Stewart Wilde, says “Seriousness is a disease of the ego”. When you are too serious, you miss the point of life: Living! Now. Fun. Energy. Presence. Beauty. Connection. Why do you get so serious? Because you haven’t done the inner work and realized that you misperceived your life and yourself early on. You haven’t recontextualized your existence and realized that all is well, there is no where to go, nothing to get, nothing to prove. All of that is in your mind (The Drunk Monkey).

When you let go of being serious, you will start being really happy. When you start being really happy, all of your goals and dreams will happen naturally. Consider being serious slows down your dreams which makes you even more serious and then this just gets worse. Being serious makes your life suck.
