When I was talking about "parasites" I was talking about INNER ones- useless patterns, bad moods, stupid repetitive thoughts that had me creating the same rotten results over and over.
[Kick the morons out of your life, and you have a pretty good life without having to do anything, don't you?]
I've found that to be true but it was something I would never have believed 20 years ago. There's no anger in that, believe me. I'm sure when you were young you knew people that when you hung around them you always got into trouble but you still felt that they were "friends." To say "I'm not going to hang around with you anymore" is the same thing as kicking them out of your life, that can only be positive.
I've simply noticed that "progress" isn't accumulating certain things it's getting rid of the non-useful and that does include people too. In case you've never really seen it this way, when someone calls someone else a "jerk" (or something similar) it's almost ALWAYS when that person wont let the other person USE him in one way or another.
You want to have the most fun you've ever had in your life? Do this: the next time someone says something offensive in anyway toward anyone, just walk away. The next time someone starts gossiping about anyone else and they look at you as if they think you care and want to hear it, just walk away. Do this to everyone you know and pretty soon they'll start not liking you and YOU HAVEN'T EVEN DONE NOTHING TO THEM. And the funny thing about it is, it's NLP (interupting their patterns) and simply not participating in stupidity at the same time. That's what I was talking about earlier- most of the NLP stuff is just WHAT SOMETHING ELSE WAS before it was called "NLP."
Most people's "patterns" include us going along with whatever they want no matter what it costs us in time, money or whatever. To refuse that isn't being negative. I had a friend for over 10 years until one day I just said to him "I can't sit here and drink beer anymore and ***** about life. I just can't and won't do it again." To this day he won't even talk to me. It was "all or nothing." I was either on his side and agreed with everything he thought or I'm a dick not worth the time of day. The Creed song "my own prison" is pretty freekin accurate.
