MESSAGE #1559 THE SCARIEST STORY!

Happy Halloween. Today, children and adults all over the country are celebrating All Hallow’s Eve. Many dress up as devils, ghosts and goblins, to honor the dead. Some people go to haunted houses, haunted hayrides, watch horror movies, and tell ghost stories by bonfires. That’s part of the fun of Halloween. There’s even a haunted prison near where I live. Scary stuff.

Want to know something else that’s scary?

When we do things that we know will hurt our performance, like not practicing, not eating healthy, not doing homework, or not making sales calls. It’s scary because we know what we need to do, but we don’t DO what we know.

Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

The scariest story I know is the one we keep telling ourselves…

“I can’t do it.”

“I’m not good enough.”

“I’m not smart enough.”

It’s fun to scare and be scared on Halloween, but when you wake up tomorrow morning, stop doing scary things that will hurt your performance and start taking positive action. That would be the greatest trick of all.

Happy Halloween.
