Guest guest Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - "Mental Housecleaning"How much unnecessary junk is accumulating in your attic? No, not the one inyour house - I mean your mental attic.Since we are closing in on what many of us call "spring cleaning" time, manyof us sort out and discard possessions we no longer use and give them tocharity or sell them at a garage sale. But have you ever thought about howvaluable it could be if you took the time to perform the same kind of mentalhousecleaning?Removing the superfluous, the unnecessary, the destructive, or the outlivedfrom our mental attics is a vital part of making room for new possibilities.I know a man who often says, with his jaw tightly clenched and a no-nonsenseexpression on his face,"I know who I am!"But we can't possibly stay the same if we are living creatures. Eachsurprise, each unpredictable turn, each new venture, produces the potentialfor new insights, new responses, and new resilience. A willingness to changeis a prerequisite for openness to life. And without that willingness, webecome stuck in our need for stability and certainty. Eventually, if we staystuck long enough, we stagnate. We exist, but we don't really live.Is there any junk in your mental attic that you would be better offwithout - a grudge, a hurt, maybe an outgrown assumption? A job, an outworn"must" or "should," or an old anger? Why not clean it out?Lou TiceThe Pacific Institutewww.thepacificinstitute.com"TPI teaches people how to manage change, set and achieve goals, lead moreeffectively, and think in ways that create success."---------------------------------------------------The Pacific Institute copyrights 1997-2005.
