Focus On Your Goals

Posted on 14. Jul, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

One of the biggest keys on getting free from your Goo is focusing on what you want instead of what you don’t want.  Where you want to go instead of where you don’t want to go.

A great example of this takes place at high performance driving schools where they teach people how to drive race cars.  They do an exercise where an obstacle course is set up and the student will drive through the course with the instructor sitting next to them letting them know when to “turn left, turn right, turn left.”  It never fails that the student will hit one of the obstacles even though the instructor is telling them exactly when to turn so they don’t hit anything.

Cheeseburger in Paradise

Posted on 06. May, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I often use the example making a perfect cheeseburger to explain how we all must find our own answers.  (my apologies to the vegetarians reading this, please feel free to substitute a veggie burger or a portabella mushroom for your example)

My perfect cheeseburger would consist of a plump, juicy beef patty grilled medium on the BBQ grill, served on a toasted onion roll.  The bottom of the onion roll would have a nice layer of garlic infused mayonnaise spread on it.  On top of the burger would be a slice of melted sharp cheddar cheese, grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms, three slices of crisp bacon, topped off with a generous portion of hickory smoked BBQ sauce.  An additional portion of bbq sauce would be served along side for dipping.

“Can’t Never Did Anything.”

Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

When I was growing up, anytime I told my Dad that I can’t do something, he would reply, “can’t never did anything.”  And as annoying as that was to hear I knew he was right.

Think about it.  Name one thing that has ever been attributed to “can’t.”

The Wright brothers had a bicycle shop.  Why were they the first ones who succeeded in developing motorized flight?  It certainly was not because they told themselves we can’t.  They did not ask why are we qualified to pursue this?  They just asked how to do it and kept going until they found the answer.

It is said that Thomas Edison failed over 1,000 times before he discovered the incandescent light bulb.  He had over 1,000 opportunities to say “I can’t” but he didn’t because “can’t never did anything.” (more…)

Cake for Breakfast

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

A couple days ago I woke up wanting cake for breakfast.  You can’t eat cake for breakfast I thought.  That is just not right.  But it was what I wanted.  Man did I want it.

I ate a banana in an attempt to distract myself from this craving.  Didn’t work.  Maybe a hard boiled egg.  I am just need some protein.  That will take care of things.  Nope.  I simply need more to eat, but it needs to be good for me so how about a bowl of oatmeal.  Well the oatmeal was good, but I still wanted cake.

Screw it!  No one is here to see me eat it anyway. (more…)
