It's Pressure, Jim...But Not As We Know It

I thought about something to write just now...and I was sure that I had written something about it before.

I was right...in the post for October 1st 2002...I wrote what I was going to write about today.

Don't you think it's strange that you can have literally the same thoughts, on the same subject, 16 months apart?

It was only about me being sad by being able to memorize song titles and intros. (I've recently progressed to working out what the song is from just spoken lyrics from ANYWHERE in ANY remotely popular song of the last 20 years!)

You may laugh...but I'm really quite proud of myself for being able to do that!

Isn't life SO much easier and more fun when you don't need to TRY hard to think of stuff?

In the same way as I am with music...I'm getting a similar way with personal development and the Internet.

On Saturday, I was asked at almost no notice to speak for 15 minutes on the subject of Napoleon Hill's Law of Success.

As I stood there listening to my introduction...I only knew what I was going to say in the first SENTENCE!

(And...I even that came out the WRONG way!).

So...what did I do? Panic, stumble, umm and aah, turn red?

Nope. I just talked about one of my favorite subjects.

Even as I talked...I didn't really know what I was going to say next...but after almost twenty minutes of talking about how important this 'mind stuff' is...I had finished.

And...it seems that I did OK!

Afterwards I realized that I had succeeded precisely because I just let my SUBCONSCIOUS do the work...and didn't let any of CONSCIOUS worries get in the way.

And all because I KNOW that I LOVE the subject...so for me, there was NO pressure.
