Cause that’s also life! It’s a matter of deciding who the audience is, because they have certain expectations out of language.

That’s real life!

I think it was more elegant that way.

In the cartoon Darth Vader gives the speech but he advises Always Be Stalking.

I can’t see those two words together without laughing and I can’t find the cartoon to show you.

What I mean by it, I guess, is that you ought to always be starting things, turning things on, making connections, getting things going, as opposed to shutting down, closing off, etc. What ends up happening when you do this is you begin to build forward momentum and things start to snowball and come to you. I guess you could think of it as watering the possibilities that you have sown!

I recognize that I need to work on clarity within these statements!

Tim, what do you mean by this: 5) Always be activating.

Weird.

“I don’t immediately see the value in this, but perhaps other people will who are at a different place than myself. I value Tim’s work, so I am excited to see where he goes with it and am open to the possibility of learning something from it, as well as comfortable with the fact that - hey, maybe it’s just not for me!”

I, in fact, no longer think this stuff is bullshit. It’s a matter of boiling down to the most precise and concise language in your communications with people (the Sixth Stratagem, in fact). Or, as Thank You says, eliminating “wasted value.”

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall possess the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I’m fine with Tim just posting his thing as such. I’m guessing he’ll elaborate later, but, man–in the end it all comes down to: are you gonna do the work or not? If it don’t work out and you honestly did the work, then its up to you to tailor it for yourself or come up with something else, keep moving forward–observe, analyze, take action, assess and modify.

In the end, you gotta make whatever “method” simply something that you do in your way, automatically. Otherwise, yeah…go to a zillion Tony Robbins Mastery Academy classes, get the little Tony Robbins necklace to wear around your neck, and stay exactly where you are, except maybe slightly happier and slightly more broke. There are worse things.

But standing alone without commentary, these slogans seem like standard fare, Tony Robbins, stuff like that.

I think you see them differently in an experiential way, because you are using them in your life and seeing results, but that experience is personal and subjective. The power doesn’t seem to be in the words themselves.

Its kind of like posting a verse of scripture that you are excited about without commentary. People won’t see your internal process just from the verse.
