Whoa. The, “I refuse to give up on you. That’s my standard.” line made me well up when I read it. There is one specific issue I’m working through where I’ve not been able to figure out how to get past the counterproductive payoff I get for not progressing. I think that line holds the key.

Thank you.

Food for thought, Dave. Thanks for this – it’s a great kick in the butt, and though it’s often hard to look behind that face in the mirror, we might be amazed at what we see. Especially if we’ve created something good.

i am a newborn baby. what artificial information or artificial emotion are you going to put in my brain. in what language? why?

awareness only arrives for me from the viewpoint of me as a newborn baby with a mostly empty brain.

when i think of the ridiculousness that parents, government, school system, media, previous society people installed in my brain that i have had to repair, delete, correct, improve makes me hope people on this planet are in for a massive awareness awakening at some point.

i need not be accepted, approved of, enabled or justified by the people in my brains recording of the outside world.

i create a new improved path based on improving consequence.

thank you for your articles to consider, dave.

For three years I have been trying to please my partner and could not find time to study really prepare a thesis. Today he gave me the boot said my actions spoke louder than words. So much for trying now I have to look in the mirror and influence me to regain my balance and do the things I must. Thank you so much NEW beginning new influences.

I agree with all you have said, and the sixth, the customer as Carol said, and then your staff maybe?
A great post, thank you.

This one’s a doozy, Dave!

The words that just jump right off the page for me are:

“The next time you pass a mirror, look straight into it and no matter how you feel about yourself in the moment, say these words: “I refuse to give up on you. That’s my standard.”

Very profound, very powerful, and …

Very influential!

Person #5, the one in the mirror. That’s where all the work begins. Spent some time with very successful friend last week. Guess what? In our time together, it was clear they battle person #5 too! There is hope

Dave,

Just a few days ago, you said, “Give up” and now you say, “Just don’t give up.”

And both are perfectly justified by their context. Fun! I love contradictions that make sense. People are multi-faceted.

My main comment is that when I started to read this, I thought it was going to be about how these others influence your very definition of success.

You know many people want to drive some particular brand of car. Truth is most of them got the very idea of having that car from others, including ads, but mostly from the people named above.

It’s just another thing to look into: Are your definitions of success YOUR definitions of success or are you co-opting them?

Nothing wrong with those definitions, but you (we, everyone) should take the time to investigate where you got those definitions and if they really are the things that would leave you happy, peaceful, and fulfilled.

Cheers!
Toby
