Thou Shalt Not Whine

While recently talking with a friend, she said, “Life is never easy.”

“Sweetie, did you hear what you just said?” I asked.

“Oh, I did, didn’t I?” she said. “Thank you for catching me.”

We talked about how words program our lives. I told her about a sign on one of the stalls where we board our horses. I noticed it last week while talking to Tara as she brushed down her horse. The sign said, “Want To Go Broke? BUY A HORSE.”

“Great mind programming every time the owners come into barn,” I said, pointing at the sign.

Tara said the sign had been up there forever. The owners always seemed to have excessive expenses and problems, but last month while a horse was running by itself in the arena, the animal stumbled and broke it’s leg. “It cost them $20,000.”

Maybe it’s time to take down the sign.

In my Bushido Training, I usually process participants on their “soap operas.” These are the stories, bitches, moans and groans that we verbalize without thinking. Here are a few examples: “All the men I meet are jerks.” “I never have enough time.” “I have messed up astrology, because my Aries doesn’t line up with my lover’s Capricorn.” “My wife doesn’t give me enough sex.” “Money is always a problem.” “Greedy corporations have screwed up the economy.” “I have a procrastination problem.” “My hemorrhoids are acting up again.”

Those close to you know your soap operas. They’ve heard them so often they could repeat them word for word. And you could repeat theirs.

Today, you can even whine on a vanity license plate. In Arizona, I saw a plate that said, “LOSER.” When I told that story at a recent Florida training, hypnotist Dan Cleary told me of a man with a tattoo on his arm reading, “Born to Loose.” He meant to say Lose, but he was such a loser, he misspelled it.

Every time you climb into your car, “Loser.” Every time you look in the mirror, “Born to Loose.” How could you be anything but a loser?

Here’s a short process from the seminar. I have the participants close their eyes, lightly alter consciousness, and then I ask, “What is your primary soap opera -- your number one gripe or complaint? When does it get aired? Who is your primary audience? Your mate, your friends, co-workers, relatives, strangers? // / / / / / / Now summarize it in one sentence, ‘My primary soap opera is ...’”

If you were in a seminar, I might have you express your gripe out loud over the sound system to the rest of the participants. Or I sometimes direct a group mill, which is a matter of having everyone walk around, and when face to face with another person, say, “My soap opera is ...” Pretty soon they’ve told everyone else in the room their soap opera and no one can deny that they sound like a stuck CD.

After a few minutes of group milling, I like to play the old Linda Ronstadt rock song, “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me,” at a very loud volume. When it’s over, I ask the participants to close their eyes and listen closely to my words: “It’s time to realize that every time you repeat your soap opera to others, you program your subconscious mind with more negativity. Every negative thought generates a cause-and-effect reaction, assuring that you will continue to experience this negativity in the future. How about deciding to end your soap opera here and now?”
