"Let's make a deal" life

“Let’s Make A Deal” Lifestyle

Do you have a “Let’s Make A Deal life”?
Do you remember the TV show where Monty Hall would ask contestants to choose between 3 curtains to see which “prize” they would get.

It could be a new car, or a vacation package… or a donkey! Each time the contestant would win, they would be given a chance to win a bigger prize, or keep what they have and quit. If they get the bad prize then they are finished! They loose- they get “ZONKED”!

Life is a lot like this show. If you don’t plan your life then you are stuck choosing unknowns. Curtain #1 may look like the way to go, but curtain # 2 looks ok too. Which way do you go?.

You need to just rip down the curtains in your life so you can see what your doing- this way your choices make sense.

There are 3 curtains that hide your choices:

1. Your lack of a solid plan – You don’t know what you want so you pick blindly, taking whatever comes along.

2. Habits – You are used to doing things a certain way so making a different kind of choice is avoided… even when it is the best way to go.

3. Fear – You fear what might be behind the curtain because you could loose what you have and be worse off than you are right now.

The best thing you can do is to tear down these curtains so you can see which is the best choice.

3. Get rid of your fear – It is the “mind killer”. It keeps you from making rational intelligent decisions.

2. Change your habits – Understand what you do and why you do it.

1. Plan your life – Choose what you want and make steps to achieve your goals.

By planning your life, you can build a new habit – one of success. With a habit of success, you can overcome your fears. As you can see, this is a cyclic process (plan- habit – success).

You will go from:

Blindness – to – vision

Bad habits – to – success habits

Fear – to – fearlessness

Getting ZONKED! – to – winning the prize!

Stop wasting you life away making blind decisions… or not making any out of fear!

Rip down the curtains, and WIN!

Two Wolves

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson

about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said,

"My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,

self-pity, guilt, resentment, Inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,

benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,

"Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied,

"The one you feed."



The battle within each of us is rarely a violent one. In fact, it is usually so subtle that you don't even realize it is happening.  The problem is that every decision you make... or don't make feeds one wolf or the other. 

Most people don't pay attention to these decisions because they are little things. They don't see that each decision builds upon the one before it. They soon become a habit, and you know how hard it is to break a habit.

Have you ever done something "out of habit" and only realized what you did afterwards. THAT is a scary thing, especially if what you did was wrong.

don't fall into this trap. 

Choose your decisions carefully.

Feed the right wolf.
