Clebrity Night Shot

"Visit any bar and what will you hear? Gossip. Complaining. Bitterness. Negativity. Visit any lunchroom in any big company and what will you hear? Gossip. Complaining. Bitterness. Negativity. Eavesdrop on any family gathering around dinner time and what will you hear? Gossip. Complaining. Bitterness. Negativity." ~ Joe Vitale, The Attractor Factor

The average person feeds on GCBN. They thrive on it. Being focused on other people's lives, complaining about their own, being bitter over a past incident and general negativity are national past-times. Since life mirrors mind you create a miserable experience by taking steady doses of this mental poison.

I was reminded of GCBN this morning. NBA superstar Lebron James had an off game against the Celtics in the play-offs, putting his Cleveland Cavaliers on the brink of elimination. After wrapping up a phenomenal MVP season you would have thought the man was an arch-villain. He's the greatest thing since sliced bread and the best player on earth one minute, the next he's a bum. Of course Lebron doesn't share the same view of himself and he doesn't get caught up in the negativity. That's why he's at where he's at and the angry, negative masses are living unfulfilled lives. He doesn't thrive on GCBN and they do.

Gossip

The gossip rags and shows sell. Hours are spent chatting about celebrities' lives because our lives are so empty. We need a filler. Find a definite major purpose. God didn't give you the gift of life so that you might waste it wishing that you were someone else.

Complaining

Person 1 - "It's just not fair!"

Person 2 - "What's not fair?"

Person 1 - "I don't know, but I'm programmed to say that it's just not fair."

If it happened you caused it on some level, or you consciously chose it. Maybe it was your programming. Doesn't matter. The moment you take ownership of an situation you cease to become a Loser and begin to become a winner.

Bitterness

Stop moaning. The pill ain't too tough to swallow when taken with a dose of humility. It's not about you. Tell your ego to shut up. Whatever situation or person you're bitter at didn't direct itself at you. Don't take it personally, you're not that important in the other person's life. The alleged affront was all about them. It's their karma and it's up to you whether you decide to drink their poison with them or let them do it by themselves.

Negativity

The average person has a negative mindset. They know what could or will go wrong. When Dr. Vitale mentioned those gatherings we knew what he was talking about. Unless you are spending time with an exceptional person the topic of conversation is not going to be visualization or removing energy blockages.

The remedy? Begin to spend time with exceptional people. Lose or limit the time spent with those who aren't. It's not your responsibility to ruin your life in the name of "duty."

When's the last time you mistakenly took a dose of GCBN? Have you recovered?
