These people Make Mistakes: Loans officers who never have a bad loan are so very conservative that they exceed the built-in allowances of their company. And turn down too many people under the guise that they don’t want to be seen as making a mistake in their company. Sales people who never have a ‘return’ are so conservative that they avoid any sale that is not 100% bulletproof. This results in a lot fewer sales than they would otherwise make. You, who strive to never make a mistake, avoid so many situations where you could actually learn “how to” rather than avoid “lest you”. All are mistakes! Inoculations / vaccines introduce the very thing that you are trying to stay away from, so your body can learn and build immunities. In future when you take on the LIVE equivalent you have no problem with it. The next time you instinctively avoid something, lest you make a mistake, take a chance and (possibly) make a mistake, if you see what I mean. ————————– These are related: # 21 Interpretation – 40 So What! – 45 Problems – 66 Opposites – 98 Third Time – 106 Plan B

158 Anarchy
What if no one is in charge?
That’s what happens when you destroy an idea someone has without putting forth an idea to take its place. Or fail to create one in the first place.
Then there is no idea.
As we create a new company (with ‘breakthrough’ smart health products!) we need a strong Statement of Purpose & Intent. Otherwise we have Anarchy.
What do you say when someone asks you if these products ‘cure’ this or that?
Without a pre-decided reply some people inadvertently mislead others.
But with a firm statement in place, all you have to do is follow it.
Same for a course of action.
If you shoot down a proposed course of action without proposing one of your own, then you are saying that NO action is better than action.
Try telling that to children.
Just telling them to “Stop it” does not work.
Don’t worry, don’t be nervous, … afraid etc, does not work.
However pointing out something they can do almost always works.
Same for adults, companies, friends etc.
The next time you want to say “No” replace that with something that can equal a “Yes”.
(Let’s go here, or Let’s do this, instead.)

155 Do Not Disturb
Wilma came to my Self-Improvement class in a wheelchair.
After two days she left the chair and walked around by herself!
Oh, she was not ‘healed’ she simply stopped thinking: “get older = become invalid.”
I thought she would make a great example & teacher of my course.
(By the way, Wilma breeds cats. An entire line of cats is named after her!
Wilma can and does get results.)
Yet she failed to attract students for my course.
To help her, I gave my 6, one-night-a-week, lecture series on the SubConscious Mind. I always have standing room only in these lectures. No matter where, or when.
“Great” she said, “I’ll send out a note with the dates, etc.” (No email in the 1970’s)
“OK, we start two weeks from now on Tuesday evenings.”
“Oh no,” she replied, “we have to give people plenty of notice. Three or four months from now that would be fine. It would not disturb anyone.”
Of course I said we start in two weeks.
The place had standing room only. As usual.
And some people complained they had to cancel something they had planned. Could I not have given them a little more notice?
And that was Wilma’s problem. She acted in such a way as to never disturb anyone. Ever.
So no one went out of their way to do anything when it came to Wilma and whatever she was involved in.
I explained all she had to do was to actually allow she was as important as other people. Oh, not more important, but as important.
She never could give herself the permission to be as relevant as others.
And she closed her Training Centre.
In every situation you are equal to the others involved. Act accordingly.

151 Revenge
Often we harbor Resentment for something someone did to us. Or didn’t do! A sleight in front of others, no credit when credit was due, etc. Well, that’d be Ok if that was all that happened when you felt Resentment. Just that feeling. However the next ‘automatic’ part is Resistance. Whenever something happens involving this person you exhibit some resistance to whatever they are asking /saying. And that simply adds fuel to the fire, so to speak. YOU are now feeding this. And even then it’s understandable if it weren’t for the next (and last!) part: Revenge. Should there ever arise an occasion where you could do something crucial (or not do something crucial) and that would result in getting some sort of Revenge on that person, well then you’ll most likely do that! Now this seems a simple illustration of what a normal cycle of human behavior looks like. And that’s true. However, no
one else was there for the first two stages (Resentment & Resistance) so your action of Revenge is not seen as a third part but rather as a complete-by-itself thing. And you are silently judged by that. Do you want to be seen as a revengeful person? With no apparent reason for your actions! Is that what you believe would enhance you with your friends and co-workers? It is one of the harder things to do but the next time you start to feel a Resentment build up, let it go! (See # 132) Certainly if you are already at the Resistance stage, then definitely let that go. (See #13) Many people will admire you for not taking any action when they see (and they do!) you are being slighted. (See # 81) ————————– These are related: # 13 Changing Change – 18 Being Triggered – 27 Responses – 81 Second Impressions 132 Taking it Personally

146 Always Right
Do you know anyone who’s always 100% Perfect, 100% Right, 100% Knowledgeable? Anyone?
I didn’t think so.
Do you like people who pretend they are:
100% Perfect?
100% Right? Never make a mistake because it’s always someone else’s fault.
Never wrong, never at a loss for words.
100% Knowledgeable. Always pretend to know everything you talk about.
So why do you feel bad when you’re not always right?
Trying to always be seen as Right makes people think of you the same way you think of people who try to imply they’re always right. (Think about it!)
Relax and let yourself be what you are:
Sometimes right and sometimes not.
