Common Sense?

Common sense....often times I hear someone say."Don't they have any common sense"? The obvious answer is "No"
Because common sense isn't something someone just has.  We're not born with common sense. It has to be taught and shown examples of. For generations now, it simply hasn't been. Why? I really can't answer that except to  conclude that somewhere over time people just got tired of thinking things out and decided to just do whatever was easiest and damn the consequences.  I've related a story countless times to not only my children, but others who have posed that question outlined at the beginning of this piece.
I dated a gal for a short time many years ago who had a young son. His bedroom was an absolute disaster. You basically couldn't see the floor. I being something of a neat freak apparently intimidated this girlfriend into trying to get her son to clean up his room. She would send him in there time after time to clean up but he would inevitably end up sitting on the side of his bed staring at the wall. You know, that deer in the headlight stare. The girlfriend would say to me "I don't get it. By this age you'd think he'd have enough common sense to see how messy his room is and want to fix it"
I finally gave in to my temptation and sat her down one afternoon for a chat. Her own room wasn't anything to shout about either though she tried hard to impress me with her limited domestic abilities.
I asked her if she had ever...I mean EVER gone into his room and showed him HOW to clean his room? After some thought she conceded that "No, not really "showed" him but told him what to do. Of course for most of his formative years he had only to glance into his Mom's room for the example.
Expecting people to behave in a certain way means that you believe that they may have been taught to, yet sadly that is not necessarily nor even commonly the case. So the next time you see young people or even adults behaving badly and you ask " Don't these people have any common sense"?
Chances are they don't and it's not their fault.

Assumption Junction

We've all heard how making an assumption of another person "makes an ass out of you and me." (Ass u me) Yet, people still make assumptions all the time about why a person did or didn't do something and what they will do in the future. Many of the stories that are made up about people are so far off target, but assumptions continue to be made.

You can spend a lot of unproductive time wondering why something happened, especially if you know attraction principles. You assume it was this thought or that thought that created your negative circumstances...again, many times your guesses are far off base.

However, there is great place for assumptions in your life. Assuming that you are going to get exactly what you want leads to consistent results. Assuming that the game of manifestation is never over, even when the rule book says so, will get you everything you want at any time.

Don't assume...

You won't make your financial goal this month or year.

Assume instead…

You will.

Don't assume...

Your health will decline as you get older.

Assume...

It will improve.

Don’t assume

That employees are hard to manage.

Assume

You will attract the IDEAL team.

Don’t assume

That a BIG goal would be a miracle to achieve.

Assume

It's normal for you to achieve it.

Don’t assume

That there is not enough time.

Assume

There is an abundance of time.

Don’t assume

You have to do it all by yourself.

Assume

The Universe has your back.

Don’t assume

You have to sacrifice your own needs for clients.

Assume

Your ideal clients will honor you.

Don’t assume

You are stuck in a rut.

Assume

The time is now for a breakthrough.

Don’t assume

You can't afford it.

Assume

You can and the money will come.

Assumptions are happening hundreds of times a day and you don't even notice. Make it your practice to tune into your assumptions. See if each one serves you or creates a roadblock. A good assumption keeps the door not only open to possibility but ensures success.

If you think it's not as easy as this, you're wrong. But you'll end up being right if you keep assuming things are hard work or impossible. Catch my drift?

No more excuses. No more yucky assumptions. It's time for an assumption revolution within you. Assume that you are worthy of all good things and that by you choosing your own rules that feel good, miracles WILL be an everyday occurrence.
