You can’t tell people what to do

I was watching the Bill Maher show last night and wow what an amazing delivery of realism and truth. You know when you catch certain conversations that lighten your spirit and open you eyes to a new idea or set of care values. So many people live jaded and unauthentic lifestyles. You know what I mean people put on fronts and facades to illuminate or elude a presence that isn’t true to that persons core beliefs and values.

Bill was interviewing Brad Pitt and they really hit it off on the wrong foot. Bill had an agenda and Brad wasn’t going to fall into the typical Bill Maher style. This energy that was created you could feel the vibe of resistance and friction going on between the two of them. As my buddy and I discussed the interview we both agrees that the interview wasn’t going well.

As soon as we hit on that note the show changed the conversation became present and really authentic. Brad and Bill both started a smooth dialect and found a core principle to grow off of. This is when it hit me the conversation hit me when brad stated “You can’t tell people what to do”. Man this wasn’t anything short of purely amazing. I’ve heard it before yet lacked the understanding of what it truly meant.

It’s true you cannot motivate people who don’t want to change; you can only tell people what to do if they are ready to embrace the concept of change and integrate valuable wisdom into meaningful and sustainable results by creating positive focused actions. At this point I was sitting on the edge of my seat. Next Bill brought out some guest authors and a couple of other celebrity profiles such as Ashton Kutcher a retired general.

So the story escalated to heights of death panels, socialized national health care, and global warming the conversations were energetic and heart felt. Ashton was fantastic my views of him changed dramatically from the stoner in the basement of “that 70’s Show” to an interesting and engaging icon for reform and change. Speaking of how the “system” should be run to actually create value and results from a plan instead of wasting more useless dollars on reform that create more red tape and economic stress without the positive shift in results that it was intentionally meant to do.

Further more Bill’s witty journalism mixed with comedy took another jab at government reform. To the point of bringing up the recent study done that foretasted the negative side of global warming from a security stand point of view. Basically this was a real eye opener for me as to where the mindset of our Nation is going. I mean if our nation is gearing up for security due to possible global impacts of limited resources such as food, water and essentials for living we have to stop and ask ourselves “is what we are doing really the right thing?”.

This show really opened up my eyes in many areas, political death panels compared to Hitler’s campaign war on global warming and socialism of medicine and government health care. So back to my question are you living in the moment or caught up with panic, worry and confusion with all of the mixed messages.

You have to remember that we are born to win and conditioned to loose, I read that on a book cover and it truly rang out as 100% authentic. We as a society are conditioned to loose because wed let the system fail and now the system is failing us. As I stated you cannot tell people what to do. People decide what to do based on one of two inputs, factual or emotional. Most decisions come from heart and not head which is the way we are designed. The down side is that this little loophole has been exposed and exploited to manipulate our feelings and desires to produce someone else’s desired out come. Imagine if you weren’t exposed to all of the noise in everyday activities, politics, marketing, negative headlines, and we all lived in a state of bliss and ignorance that wouldn’t be any better. Here we defend our position that we must be informed.

Sure that’s true but it’s come down to where we as a society and a race need to be so engulfed with information it is actually causing health problems and national crisis. So where do we as a nation stand, what do we do and how do we get over it to make the change? If you can’t be told what to do then you had better be prepared to let the decisions of others shape your future while you are sitting on the sidelines as a spectator with no say in what happens.

Only you can tell yourself what to do, I can simply extend advise or suggestions it’s up to you to do the rest. This is why my model has been changing and will continue to evolve. Make the conscious decision to wake up and get real. Take life by the horns and ride it for all that it’s got to give.
