So why should you change? Or should you change?
Ok let’s imagine you are going on a plane to Hawaii for a holiday and you are all excited. The plane is in the air, and about half way to Hawaii, you hear the co-pilot over the PA system saying to the pilot – “Captain, we have a problem with our on-board computer – 80% of computer programs the wrong ones”.
What would you do? What would you think? Do you believe that you could reach your destination, or more likely, believe, that you will land in the sea, or worse, crash?
Behavioural researchers have estimated that the 70-80% of our ‘programs’ are simply the wrong ones.
If you ever wondered why you do not seem to be making progress in life or feel you are going backwards, and cannot seem to make ends meet or feel held back, or that it is just unfair. … Well, you now have some understanding why this is.
Life is like a mirror – you get back a reflection of how you see yourself. Your thoughts, attitudes and habits shape this view.
Now imagine this, how easy it to copy files from one computer to another? Very easy – once done the new computer has the exact copy of the file on the original computer. Now imagine you have a virus on your computer. This will also get copied to the new computer, and cause the same havoc. Using this analogy, this is what happens to with our children – we simply copy all our ‘programs’ to them – you can now see how children will pick up habits from you – both good and bad. In addition, they copy the programs out there – from teachers, friends, relatives and any other capable medium, such as TV and radio.
If you can weed out the bad ones, and replace them with good ones, the chances are that your children will pick them up.
You only live once, and when you put that into perspective and compare this to say the age of the universe, your life is an eye blink – so why not make it worthwhile and leave a good legacy?
