NO, I WOULD NOT LIE TO YOU
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY DAY-TO-DAY LIFE
...AND PROBLEMS I NO LONGER HAVE...
"Getting Started" page 1 of 3
I consistently keep 24 promises to myself every weekday, including daily planning before 7am, exercise, and emptying my email inbox.
But without self-discipline or perseverance.
I never procrastinate on starting something I need to start.
But without pushing myself.
I keep working at tasks and goals tirelessly without getting frustrated.
But without patience.
I am persistent in eating super healthfully.
But rarely depriving myself.
I quit or fail at many of the things I start.
But without discouragement or self-criticism.
It wasn’t always this way for me.
I’m up to some important things in my life.
But without stress.
My life has a fair amount of routine.
But without bordom.
My life has many of the uncertainties and risks as the lives of others do.
But without worry or anxiety.
I never feel betrayed or taken advantage of by others.
Because I keep good boundaries and I manage my expectations. Therefore, I never have to forgive others (because there is nothing to forgive).
I am quite patient with others.
Because I never feel I am wasting my time.
It wasn’t always this way for me.
Others often see me as generous.
Because I find ways to give to others selfishly.
I rarely feel defensive.
Because I know that I have nothing that needs defending.
I am open and self-expressed with others and I am never lonely.
Because I’ve made friends with my fear that others may disapprove of me or reject me.
I am confident I can resolve almost any conflict with others.
Because I believe that our self-interests can be complementary.
In every year, starting in 2015 I have hosted about two hundred soirées in my home, with a total of more than six hundred strangers as my guests, savoring snacks and conversation together.
Because I know that life is my playground and everyone is my playmate or potential playmate.
Ending three wars: the path to happiness and success
It wasn’t always this way for me.
Give me a chance to prove that you too can have any of this.
