Selling Your Self To Cheap With Excusitis, Excuses Dont Cut It

by Lloyd christie

Hold a Imaginary conversations with yourself

Have you heard the saying, what you practice in private your get praised for in public, A Few years ago I would spend hours, rehearsing imaginary conversations. Imagining that I could read, Imagining  being a manager at work.  I was to Some degree shy around people, especial the girlies, I would hold these imaginary conversations In my head, always seeing things the way I intended for it to work out. All That time pumping up my mental and emotional confidence,  Until had to EXPlODE into Action -

I became the manager!, I Learnt how to be comfortable in conversation with the ladies, I learn how to competently read and write, this all started by practicing in private in the Comfort of my mind. This helps you to expand your mental and emotional comfort zone, keeping in your physically comfort zone.  This was only Possible when I let go of the excuses!

What are the top excuses you use?

We’ve all have had excusitis at some time, Not facing up to reality, Hiding behind the veil of ignorance like Anickin skywalker. Excuses are dark Side, far from the light of truth. excuses don’t teach you, or get you shiz -

Throwing wet fish,

Excuses Lead you down the road of selling yourself, cheaper and cheaper, ever time you OPEN YOUR MOUTH to use them. Excuses have no real value. In fact Excuses devalue your Value, Excuses lower your sense of Self-efficacy. Excuse’s send your Pride into a state of Recession every time  you borrow form the bank of fishy excuses. Excuses are false economy – to cheap in value and to high in Cost and Interest. In reality it’s a waste of time, throwing wet fish (excuses) -

Most of the time, when you throw around excuses you’re only convincing yourself. no body else buys it, not anybody in their right mind that is. The only people who do subscribe to the of Channel Fishy Excuses, are the people who hold similar excuses, this is because they’re putting up with Your excuse to conceal their own fallacies‘ and ignorance.

The Real Reality of excuses

In reality – If you’re honest with yourself, you can  know when your lying to yourself and you know when someone else is lying, Throwing around a Pile of Bull fish – Their excuses are far to cheap, you can see them clear as day, like Fish in a bowl. Excuses offer no hiding place, You know your throwing around poo, the other person known’s your throwing around Poo, its all poo, it’s to cheap, come clean, tell it how it is, it my be uncomfortable but, the power lies just beyond the point of uncomfortably. If you think lying to other people is bad, lying to your self is even worst.

Selling excuses is like taking an intellectual suicide pill. When you lie to yourself you literally close shut mental door, after door – making you dumber and dumber… I’ve been they myself.

Can you smell Poo ?

Have you got any poo (excuses) suck to your shoe. sometimes poo is hidden at the bottom of your shoe, you might not see it, but you may smell it… Reflect have a good look at your thoughts, what excuses do you sell to yourself… Have a good sniff around and see what you can find. Like politicians  Our internal self talk is good at rapping excuses up in fancy packaging . And like lying politician we can Hide behind double talk and overcomplicated language designed to miss lead, baffle and all out confuse the listener into Mental Submission.

The truth only becomes apparent when you take a moment to sit down and Really think about TRUTH – Then the FALLACIES and LIES becomes as Clear as Day… You’ve been had!… Your Ghosts Has  done a George bush, Tony Blair act on you - you see your own flying Bull shizzle. Some times we do this to ourselves, don’t fall for your own bull crap… Think to yourself… Excuses are to cheap…

  • Search out the lying Politian Inside, challenge the sly fox who’s terrorizing your golden hen of Possibilities. Put a end to the Fish philosophy and seek out solutions.

What is the fish philosophy?

Well for one, the excusitis fish philosophy is the opposite of the Philosophy of Personal Development and must not be confused with the workplace management FISH philosophy… For one, people who own the fish philosophy live constantly out on and sea, in their own made up world. People who live by the fish philosophy hardly step foot on dry land… Very often they are faced with some discomfort or challenge or difficulty they simply throw their line out to sea and pull OUT A BIG WET FISH  (Excuse) any fish will do.They will hold their wet fish, there In Your Face as a good reason for why they can not return to dry land.

This wet fish is there reason  why they cant Do this, accomplish That, become this, go there, and  If you so happen to get hold of  Their fish (excuse) and Throw it back Out to sea, they will simply get their rod and throw another line back out to Sea, and get another fish. And if again you get hold of their fish, they will do the same thing all over Again and return their line to the ocean and start fishing.

Many people who use the fish philosophy, fish for excuses with nets, when you meet such a Person, it takes a great deal of energy to get the fish out of their boat… its can simply be a waste of energy, the ocean is a big place with a lot of fish, if you do want to help them, get them to read this or write down the explanation of the Fish philosophy for them to ponder, this my help them in the long run – they may Catch themselves in the act of fishing. a change in Philosophy is the only freedom

The Philosophy of Personal development

When your live on dry land, practicing the art of Personal development, fishing takes on a new form. instead of fishing for creative excuses, You fish’s for creative solutions and you fish for opportunities.

The Philosophy of Personal development, is a philosophy of personal growth and transformation. Right now I am on a 31 day mega peak performance challenge, – The mission is To stretch myself in order to discover new Plateaus. I let go of the fish Philosophy years ago when I decided to challenge dyslexia and all that come With It. I started to discover that I am amazingly talented in my own special way once I let go of my pile of fish – and dyslexia was a Whale of a fish.  I’ve achieve and experienced  more then I could have imaged. Since then it’s been all about, I’ve got to grow, got to Build bigger muscles. I would think to my self Lloyd, Don’t sell your self cheap – to cheap adds no value, you can be more, if difficulties don’t kill you, there can be weights to make you stronger, smarter, wiser.

Think I got to increase Think growth

Excuses just don’t cut it, Lack of Time excuses, Lack of education excuses, To cheap, lack of Knowledge to cheap of an excuse, Lack of skill to cheap of an excuse, I Thought to my self skills got to be increased, knowledge got to be increased skills got to be increased Education got to have a philosophy of continued education Confidence, I got to increase Drive, I got to increase. This means you have to work your brain and emotions to the next level of Complexity, perturbing the system is the term -

  • Have a look at were you are, are you Selling your self  short?.

Look for the mother of all your excuses, the source and deal with it, for myself it was not being able to read or write, but was just to Cheap and didn’t cut it. Resolve to be what you truly wish your self to be.

Venturing Forward

  • Are you selling yourself to cheap, with  Your internal self talk?
  • Are your beliefs  supportive ? if not have a look at your Philosophy

Perhaps your beliefs are a result of certain beliefs that have become Imprinted on you, though meaningful friends, or though TV, music, books magazines. perhaps your excuses are a result of things that you Have taken in unconsciously, Again; don’t sell your sell to cheap. Remember that other peoples opinions, beliefs, excuses don’t have to be yours. It can hard not to be influenced by Other people Excuses, But keep you from venturing Forward.

Perhaps you are single and remain so because you hold, am negative Self Image, a self image that prevents you from sharing your true self or true Personality with others. Maybe you hold negative beliefs  that keep you Safe from possible heartbreak , Maybe  you rationalise excuses as real because it Keeps you safe. But this belief or excuse will never lead you to any of the Richness of life’s experiences, you will never experience your self. Holding an excuse, excuses you from facing the truth.

Jedi Time Management… The Philosophy Of The Force And Time

by Lloyd christie

  • Do you feel the need to be more organized and more productive?
  • Do you feel a longing, a calling deep down inside for order?
  • Do you Feel you can be more then what you are displaying?

Well its time to join the ranks of the Jedi Order and consider all your past experiences up to now to be preparation for wielding the force with the mastery and precision of a Jedi master.

Time management is the weapon of a Jedi Knights,

Wielding the force of time is not as clumsy or as random as leaving your goals and tasks to chance. Time management is an elegant weapon form a far more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, The Jedi Knights were the guardians of the mysteries of personal management and The To Do list. Managing peace and justice in the Old Republic, Before the dark times, Before the Empire and Information overload, before corporate media and mind Dumbing TV.

Good Personal management equal’s good Time management.

I have something here for you, your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn’t allow it. He feared you might follow old Antony Robins on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did. It’s your father’s time management tips, they will help you increase your productivity and help you to stay cool, calm and collected as you face the empire.

Let’s start your Jedi training

1.Young Jedi understand you must, that the time is held in an intimate relationship with the force. The force and time are one and the same in essence, time is the observation of movement and movement or time is the force, of which you can manipulate.

2.“Good Time management is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s unites the Jedi to an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together, keeping the galaxy working like clock work…

3.Time and space are universal constants, you can’t change or stop time/motion, but you can influence the outcome of events in time and space by organizing your to do list wisely.

4.The Jedi use the power of the force to work with time, leveraging it to get favourable outcomes, be wise know when to use it, and when to go with the flow. Making minor adjustments to your plan, in order to compensate for new opportunities and things that pop up, be flexible, be mindful, use wisdom.

5. Practice the Jedi disciplines and develop what the weak minded call Jedi mind tricks it will serve you will. When a Jedi develop his ability to sit still calming mind, body and sprit the Jedi’s sense of perspective opens up, things become clearer, you may have heard of this technique as meditation.

In meditation a Jedi knight can shift his conscious perspective to a more objective state and make time stand still, at lease from his perspective, at this level of conscious awareness the Jedi can step out of the box and look at his activities from different angles, many great Jedi have found the solutions to their greatest successes using this technique.

6. Be still when the mind is clouded and confused, allow your mind to clear and trust the force to emerge with the correct course of action for events. With daily discipline you will develop greater wisdom and power of discernment. Remember your mind is the greatest tool of time management, good personal management equal good Time management.

7.The Jedi Paradox  Be detached

The Jedi knows were he is going so he can stay happily detached. A Jedi is a one with his/her duties but not consumed by it. The Jedi maintain a deep desire and a passion for their work and duties but at the same time they are detached from it.

He does not lose his self in the chaos of events but he brings harmony to it in the present moment. This is important because the Jedi who exercise’s the force by way of business, Blogging or some other entrepreneurial endeavour often find themselves performing many different task during the course of a single day or week, month, year.

8. Time is the master teacher

Balance your duties young Jedi , pay attention to how the force is needed to complete each of your tasks in good time, its a learning curb, sometimes you my get it wrong, take those results as feedback which you can use to develop more wisdom in order to get it right. A true Jedi balance his/her duties wisely and learns from the results of their experiences. This consistent learning fills the Jedi with a sense of certainty, peace (he always knows he will grow stronger and wiser at the end of each decision and action).

9. Realize…

that time management is a myth created by the dark side. What I mean is that the Jedi aim for personal management in spirit, mind, body and in action. A Jedi see’s personal management as activity management… activity management starts in the mind.

10. Time Management Starts in the Mind

Time management starts with the management of your thoughts this is what is meant by personal management. Personal management can be further categorised as thought management and activity management, there’s a time and place for each. There’s a time for action and there’s a time for thought.

  • Step 1 of thought time…  Is balancing the mind and force.
  • Step 2 of thought time …  Is about Knowing what you want to achieve. (What is you intended direction what are your goals or outcome)  Envision the direction you wish to guide the force and creation.
  • Step 3 of thought time … Is to review your current location (where are you in relation to your intended direction or outcome, what do you need to do to get yourself on the correct course to meet your goals).
  • Step 4 thought in action… repeat steps 2 & 3 but this time make them solid on paper.

  • Step 5 get to work, be joyful and have fun.

Implementing your personal management plan.

Think of this as an extension of time management step 1 to 5 the objective is to use the force and momentum to change your behaviours over time to achieve the mission objective you’ve set for yourself. Such as increasing your productivity with the use of the force and decreasing your stress to increase your effectiveness. So you need to not only set your specific goals, but track them over time with a Jedi diary and journal.

11. Jedi Law of Cause and Effect – How to Influence Events

A Jedi is forever mindful of the great law of cause and effect, this is because cause and effect are at the source of the force. Which is the essence of the Jedi power?

Use the law of cause and effect to stay ahead of the dark side you most prioritize ruthlessly. Setting your performance benchmark is necessary in order to direct the force progressively,

12. Start each day, month and week with a time management session prioritizing and category the tasks for the month and days ahead. If you have 30 tasks for a given month, have a look at delegating it to a Padawan or outsourcing it.

13. Establish routines and stick to them as much as possible. Over time your routines will become habitual. Its all about persistence you are one with the force, choose a direction and the force will do the rest.

14. Take a break

Plan for a well disserved rest break or change of scenery as apart of your personal management routine to bring balance to the force.

Many Jedi have been lost to the empire, disillusioned by the magnitude of their duties which cause’s a blockage in the force and weaken a Jedi’s self confidence and productivity. Overwhelmed by fear and worry, which leads them on to the path of the dark side.

This can be a result of lack of variation, so leave room for good relationships, fun and spontaneity. To move everything into a totally mechanical order is to flirt with the dark side.

If you have younglings you can use play time with your kids Chill out or give yourself a workout, younglings love jumping, dancing doing rollie pollie cart wheal and stuff. Younglings have tons of energy. Be creative, relax have fun doing art, acting, singing or some other creative form of expression.

15. Jedi journal first step to effective time management.

Keep a Jedi journal and dairy… organize the day ahead. It adds structure and builds routine. Look out for leakages in the force if you’re really serious about wielding the force productivity, journal of your activities , so you can better gage what you’ve done and make better judgments the next time around.

16. Be sure that you’re systems are organized.

Are the files on your computer slowing you down? If it is redo it, so it’s organized to the point that you can quickly click, click on what you need.

If you work in multiple locations? Online data storage makes it easy to access your files any time, any where, weather you’re on the bus on holiday or training at Yoda’s swamp.

17. Use droids

Here are some of the more modern weapons of the Jedi nights to help you get more organized and productive: Droids makes it easy to work wherever you are and they come in many different shape and sizes R2 units, PDA’s laptop’s, mobile phone’s will help you stay connected.

18. Use the force to combined tasks

How much of your tasks can you combined into your recreation or travelling time, for example you can drive half way to work and walk or jog the rest of the way, you can use you commuting time to read, relax or review your day.

19. Personal time-wasters are Agents of the dark side,

Remember, the focus of time management goals is actually about managing the tasks activities and routines in your life. A good place to start managing your time is to look at eliminating the agents of the dark side, your personal time-wasters. For one week, for example, set a goal that you’re not going to watch videos, TV or sports when you could be studying developing your self, working on a project planning your life.

20. Where do you leak force?

Find out where you’re wasting time and the force on fool hardy crusades. Do you waste too much force on you tube, face book or watching videos, reading emails, making personal calls? Listening to shitty waste man music, where can you leverage your time better.

21. Set a time to move on.

For instance, Relaxing, reading and answering emails doing research for a project, may be necessary but it can consume your whole day if you let it. Instead, set a time to move on.

22. Use time wisely be creative with the force

From Dentist appointments, to travelling at light speed in hyper space on your way to Alderon, it’s impossible to avoid waiting for someone or something. But you don’t need to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs, put a pen in your hand, do some pen spinning, practice your breathing excises, have a bit of a stretch and relive some tension, blindfold your eyes, get your lightbsaber and practice deflecting blaster attacks from hovering training droid . Always take something to do with you, such as a report you need to read, or just a blank pad of paper that you can use to plan your next marketing campaign, project ,article, DS brain training take control of your time feel and use the force.

Remember young Jedi

you can’t

control time with your to do list, but you can guide what happens in time by using the force. Not to use the power of the force wisely is to let this great power held in time slip through your hands into the hands of the dark side, as a Jedi you have a responsibly to use time and the force productively because prioritisation, productivity and wisdom are the secrets of the force.

  • Understand the power which is held in the moment,
  • Understand the power in a plan,
  • Understand the power in action…

Understand that you can accomplish wonderful things in the moment or at least sow the seeds for wonderful things, Jedi who use and understand time, understand the force, their overstand the art of Creation. Time waits for know man or Jedi, do with it as you wish.

“The galaxy does not stay the same…

It changes from day to day,

and we must change and grow to meet new challenges. As Jedi, we must never allow ourselves to become stagnant or self-satisfied. We must be ever vigilant, aware of what is happening around us, and ready to adapt to changing circumstances.

“May the Force be with you, always?”
