I do think they are that good. After thinking about them, only one I think needs help. That is the last one. Prepare for the worst... That one does not sound right? The rest are very good. :) Try it, it won't hurt anything. Just ask them if you could submit them? I can look to see if I have a number too. I may have a more current program.


You really hit the nail on the head with the ammo. I thought that later of coarse.

And yes that has been the way I nornally respond. I want to get MY side of things brought out so she could for one moment see where I am coming from. But in her eyes all she seams to see is excuses, excuses, and more excuses. When these excuses are choices in our life that have to with making our lives run smoother. Like not having the money, Not wanting to go some place during the busiest month of our business. She has answers like use a credit card. Well we have to pay it back. She says hire somebody to tend to your business, Its not that kind of business where someone can fill in for you. People use you because they want you and they will wait for you to get back. Well thats the problem too. When things get backed up only you can do the work.
For us we can do things in 6-7 different months much easier.
And your are right when you say I was not as affected by it because I knew I can't get her to give the kind of reaction I needeed her to do. So I am learning but its grueling!!! Good stuff, Mike. Thank you. ;)

Well the plan for the worst might not sound right. I'm just thinking that if you make preparations to prevent something like say saving money in case you have some kind of emergency in the future, you would be covered for it but yes it really doesn't sound right. It kinda says to worry.

Yes so you see that if you give people reasons why you can't do something then they will just find some response to "fix" that reason.

Yes, I sorta knew what you ment, but as a general statement it just didn't sound right. All the others really were very good though. :)

I do see that giving people reasons "why" they will try to fix that. Then It could open things up for debate. Always learning.... ;)

Yes i didn't realize how negative it sounded until you had mentioned it. I'm wondering if i can change it a bit.

Sales people i think utilize this method to get people to make purchases. They ask questions to get information and then they use that information as ammo. Same goes when people try to convince you to do pretty much anything really. Without that info they have nothing to manipulate you with. "Sorry I can't" is probabbly the most effective statement you can say.

Oh and you will probabbly like this affirmation or new belief system better then the rest...i just thought it up today.

Thank you life (or god or whatever you believe in) for giving me all the problems and obsticals in my life in order for me to grow and all the inspirational people and resources in order to overcome them!

Oh I bet your right on the sales people. That does seam to be thier style. I got lots of information out of that experiance, and keeping it simple is how I will look to handle her in the future. :)

I do like your new affirmation! The only thing I could add is: Maybe these experiances that we get are not from the creator but from as you say Life its self. Our higher power does send us people, resourses, in order to overcome them.
(Thats just how I believe anyhow.)
Thats another good one, Mike! I do like them all. :)

Ya i just realized that about the sales people. I am glad you learned from the experience, this definately makes up for not responding in the way you would have liked to.

Our beliefs definately are diffrent though. Life really is my higher power. The way i see it, We all came from one giant ball of energy that broke off into little pieces. We are all these little pieces and are all linked through our subconsciousness. I believe it is this universal consciousness that determines the lessons we need to learn and the things we attract in our life. One sign of this is when people get these so called "vibes" about other people. You seem to feel really comfortable around people whom you have never met before and just started to talk to even though there is nothing else to prove that they aren't actually really nasty people. For me this means that everybody in this world has significance and can make a diffrence.

Ok i have come up with another really good idea.

I took pictures of certain people and put some of my affirmations and such underneath the pictures. Here are some of them. I have also used that last affirmation i put up under a picture of that guy who i was really angry about. My friend he met through me is also in that picture but i won't post it.

Its ok to have different beliefs, a forest would not be very interesting if all the trees were the same. :)
I have met great people from all walks of life with different beliefs.

I liked your pictures too. Sarah Boyle sure has a intresting story, and a beautiful voice.

AND GOOD picture of yourself! Nice looking guy that you are! Good Job Mike! :) :) :)
