" GOODBYE TO YOUR BIG BUT " - by G.O. BLANSON

Is there anything BIGGER THAN a " BIG BUT ?" One of the books on my list of books to read in 2017 is " The Magic of Thinking Big ," by David J. Schwartz. It may even be the reason for the title of this article and the comment that came before this sentence,Lol . Ok, I have something to confess. I purposely used the word " BUT " to mislead you. Since I found out that people have been "conditioned " to react to words, I can't help myself ! So please forgive me. Well, what thought came to your mind when you saw the word " BIG BUT?" When most people see the word " BIG BUT " together, they usually don't come up with the " BIG BUT " that I am referring to in my article. The " BIG BUT " which I am thinking about has to do with the excuses that people use. They are always saying things like," I would quit my job ," BUT !"...I want to go back to School ," BUT!"... I wish I could take a vacation," BUT!" I want to buy a house," BUT." I would like to start a Business," BUT!" You see,they keep letting their " BIG BUT " get in the way ! In his book, David J. Schwartz didn't refer to them as a " BIG BUT." He call them " EXCUSES ." He said that people who had a " BIG BUT " usually were suffering from the " FAILURE DISEASE " known as, " EXCUSITIS." Although people are infected with many,many variations of this debilitating disease, he only included these four in Chapter 2 of his book. 1. Health Excusitis 2. Age Excusitis 3. Intelligence Excusitis 4. Bad Luck Excusitis. His Four suggestions for curing Health Excusitis are : 1. Refuse to talk about your health( Unless you are going to say something good about it. Personally, I [G.O. BLANSON ] religiously repeat these Two words, " I AM " followed by these Seven words, " WHOLE, PERFECT, STRONG, POWERFUL, LOVING, HARMONIOUS,and HAPPY ! ).2. Refuse to Worry about your health [ If you pray don't worry,if you worry don't pray ]. 3. Be genuinely grateful for your health { Practice Gratitude,without a negative attitude }. 4. Remind Yourself often," It's better to wear out , than to rust out!" His Three suggestions for curing Age Excusitis are : 1. Always look at your present age in positive ways{ The way you look at things,affect the way you feel }. 2. Calculate ( based on a 80 year Life expectancy ), just how much productive time you have left to accomplish your goals in life. 3. Start investing your time in doing the things that make you happy and that you really want to do { you only have one life to live, so don't spend it living someone else's life ! }. His Three suggestions for curing Intelligence Excusitis are : 1. Never Under-estimate your own Intelligence,and never Over-estimate the Intelligence of others{ Your Subconscious Mind is capable of connecting with an Infinite amount of Intelligence }. 2.Remind yourself several times daily , " MY ATTITUDES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY INTELLIGENCE !"( " As A Man Thinketh,So Is He ). 3. Remember that the ability to " THINK " is of much greater value than the ability to memorize words and facts,just to parrot them back !{ Use your mind to create and develop ideas and products, so that you won't " HAVE TO " depend on a job that you don't enjoy or like }. His Two suggestions for curing Bad Luck Excusitis are : 1. Accept the Law of Cause and Effect. [ Righteous Knowledge about Self and Awareness about things ]. 2. Don't just be a wishful Thinker ( Don't count on or wait for so-called Good Luck.Learn how to harness the Great Power within your Mind,Body , and Soul ). Well. I guess it's time for you to say " GOODBYE TO YOUR BIG BUT !" I hope that " NOW " you can see that " YOU " are the " ONE " holding " YOU " back, and " YOU " are the " ONE " causing " YOU " to fail ! Yes , " YOU " and the " false beliefs " that you have accepted from yourself and others throughout the years.You need to cut the proverbial " UMBILICAL CORD " that is keeping them alive,and preventing you from becoming the person you were meant to be ! In closing, I would like to leave you with this quote from Albert Einstein : “ Everyone is born a genius,but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree,it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid !" DON'T LIVE THE REST Of YOUR LIFE BELIEVING THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH A “ BIG BUT!” Please go to this Web-site for"YOUR FREE " Download of some more of the Principles from the book," The Magic of Thinking Big " by David J.
