Personal Power 2 The Driving Force: Is it relevant after 15 years from its release?

Yup, that was my first decsion.

2nd one.

Well, hate to say it, but is true. Finance a mess. Big time.

So bancruptcy is the way to go to start over.

Do want a new family in the future, but money situation has to be resolved.

So 1st action to support decsion.

Find cheapo lawyer: Found one that will do it for $200, cool.

2nd action: start the pre counsel sessions online needed before I can file. Pay filing fee.

3rd action: get a list of al creditors to give to lawyers.

Of course, somehow someone I know told a lot of people I mooched off them big time month after month, even after I had a heart attack and did not feel well for 6 months afterwards. Oh well, I will pay them I guess what most people would consider a pittance every week for years on end, to show that I was not using them for money, just wild sex every other day. 😱

Day 2 journal assignment to be revealed tomorrow. Folks its a doozy.

Any way nite nite all, sweet dreams. Big day tomorrow, the bosses are back after having the day off, crapola, can't wear jeans for the next 3 days.

Home early, moving to new building and phones lines are up in the new building, but computers are in old building. So I got sent home, hope I don't get fired for low production lately. A new guy is supposed to start with me tomorrow. Hmm, guess some sort of compettion or something, maybe I will be let go. Have to see.

Any way, DAY TWO of the Driving Force 2:

The twin forces that direct our lives: PLEASURE AND PAIN and most people will do far more to avoid pain than we will to gain pleasure.

Makes sense. So the crux message is: USE PAIN AND PLEASURE INSTEAD OF LETTING PAIN AND PLEASURE USE YOU.

So the assignment in the journal is focus on what is most real to you. Therefore to change behavior you must focus our attention on
1. How not changing your behaviour will be more painful than changing it.
2. How changing will bring measurable and immediate pleasure.

OK.

To take control of our lives, we MUST take control of the force of decision. THE POWER TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN LIFE IS BORN THE MOMENT A REAL DECISON IS MADE- WHICH BY DEFINITION IS SOMETHING YOU TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION UPON.

K.

The assignment is:

1. List 4 new actions you know you should take now.

2. What is the PAIN you have associated with these actions that has kept you from followin through? WRITE IT DOWN.
3. List any PLEASURES you were able to get from not following through on on these four actions.
4. For each of these actions, describe in a paragraph what it will cost you if you DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH. What will you MISS OUT ON? WHAT will you LOSE?
5. Now begin to associate pleasure with takin action by asking yourself these questions, (questions are just evaluations by the way)
SELF:
1. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS YOU'LL GAIN BY TAKING ACTION IN EACH OF THOSE AREAS NOW?
2.HOW WILL IT ENHANCE YOUR LIFE?
3. HOW WILL IT CREATE GREATER JOY, HAPPINESS, SUCCESS (ANOTHER WORK FOR EFFECTIVE) FREEDOM OR PRIDE?
Write your answers.

NOBODY GIVES A FLYING ****, MAN.

Hmm..
1.Four new actoins I should take now:

2. The pain I've associated with these actions in the past:

3.The pleasure I from not following through in the past:

4. What it will cost me if I don't follow through now:

5. The benefits I'll gain by taking action in each of these areas now:

Will have to look into this homework assignment and get back with some answers in a few hours.

My G and g on the computer is stuck, so if any g is missin in words typed sorry about that;.

Unless you are trying to be rude to get someone out of your life, you really should not be negative at all. I know how to do that and have references, some recent. YES, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!inopity+

However, forums are about sharing experiences and information.

Guess Wilco singer is right, some people just want to go online to say no, the sky is not blue with white clouds, its white with blue clouds.

If you don't care then umm, why comment, go away and be contrary somewhere else and say hmmm, thats not for me.

All the drama and trauma, please take it to you mama, gma or your shrink or take another prozac, get drunk or smoke crack, or shoot up smack, or eat another box of jelly donut cakes, or whatever you do to make yourself feel good. 😛

Nah, its just an annoying pest, why get authority figures involved? Had a girl follow me for years and even showed when she found out a had a gf.

Went to a special lake in Illinois and the 2nd time I was there with my gf, she showed up. Did not tell gf as I am sure she would have kicked that girls butt; then at a Outback Steak House in the frickin middle of nowhere Illinois with my gf, the girl was there with her hubby and some other guy, probably dad in law. Thought it was funny because there were flys all over in that restaurant and then when I am walking out behind my gf after the meal, I see the dingleberyy girl at another table and she quicks looks away. She has quite the maggot face with a lot of acne sores, the girl that shows up to greet me in person. Oh well, what can you do but laugh, shake your head and walk away.

Again did NOT want to say anything as then gf gets scared easliy and or prob would have kicked her butt. Guess that girl had Private Investigator tail me or knew someone in l/e to tail me and get back to her.

Would not surprise me none. I could tell you another dozen situations of her showing up out of nowhere, even saw her at my new place at the airport, no less on my bday. Odd, one girl likes me enough to be at the airport when I dropped my daughter off, and right when I got home the other sweetest ex gf calls me on the phone to wish my Happy Bday.

I will pass on both as far as ever getting married to them. Just not my cup of tea, hope the other stays with her hubby and the other one finds a hubby that suits her well.
