“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.” ~Kris Kristofferson~
If you go for broke, then you'll bring poverty to yourself. Go for wealth instead!
Throughout our lives we hear and blindly believe many non sequiturs. These nonsensical emphasizers’ of speech can actually be destructive to our psyche at times, and often move us from a panic to a shipwrecked state in a flash.
One such phrase is “Go for broke,” and its kissing cousin, “There’s nothing to lose.” Think about it this way. I want you not to think about pink elephants wearing yellow brassieres. Your mind can’t help but focus on what you are not supposed to think about: pink elephants with yellow brassieres.
In the same vein, when you say “Go for broke” or “There’s nothing to lose,” the dominant thought in your mind is “I’m broke” or “I’m losing” or “I have lost.”
If you say, “I don’t want to be fat,” your mind chews on the idea that you are fat, fat, fat! which makes you charge to the refrigerator to console yourself with a triple-layered pastrami and six cheeses sandwich, a quarter-pound of German potato salad, and Diet Coke to slosh it all down before going beddy bye.
Do not allow bubblegum, nonsensical, negative thoughts to reach the gate to your mind unopposed. Be careful everyday of who and what you listen to. That news report that tells you many people are being laid off can undoubtedly plant the seed which will lead to your firing.
Be aware every waking hour, and focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want to come into your life.
