How do YOU waste your life?
A student of mine watched a movie last night. In the movie she heard the following dialogue:
"Thank you for saving my life" "Don’t waste it."
She cried. Later her husband was picking a fight with her. She stepped back ((she'd learned how to in the Second Phase Activators course)) and didn't react.
An hour later the husband came downstairs. She offered him tea. He apologized for his behavior.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because one way or another we are all wasting our life, or most of it.
The most useful question I have found to snap me out of this wasteful way of being is:
What is using your perfectly good life right now?
Here are some examples. All are life-wasters that you can eliminate by doing the work we do, especially the activators.
Blaming
Worrying
Thinking about the future
Thinking about the past
Wondering what it means... (whatever it is at the moment)
Wondering what they mean
Wondering what you should be
