Environment Trumps Discipline
Hi Again Jason,
I actually gave a talk the other day at my Toastmasters meeting on this very subject on the Dangers of Television. I actually went over the TOP in how Dangerous it really is. Some of the members got really scared at the level of detail I had went into. LITERALLY. That said, I too currently have a weakness for Television and can feel and see the negative consequences. I recently disconnected (Last Night) the one in my room. It is STILL PHYSICALLY there however just not plugged in. I know that It will be GONE (sold, or garbage) this week. In order to kick the habit, I was "trying" to use will power and discipline. THAT was obviously not working for me. But I heard this quote from somebody recently which said that "ENVIRONMENT TRUMPS DISCIPLINE" I have been repeating it, to myself and others because it is both simple and yet "profound". The applications are numerous. So, as per your post and Steve's, I see that you changed YOUR environment by throwing out the Television instead of using will power. You are now receiving benefits of Making things Happen as well. CONGRATS to you all on your T.V Victory! I will be with you shortly because ENVIRONMENT TRUMPS DISCIPLINE" :-> Duane Adolph Quote:
