Deprogramming
"we are born into greatness and then programmed into mediocrity"
I had a conversation with a friend this morning in which we discussed among other things, the way we are programmed first as kids and then as adults. We reached the conclusion, that it is no wonder we have so many messed up minds on this planet. The programming we usually receive is negative and very limiting.
Driving back to my office, I pondered what it would be like if we could find a grumpy negative person and kidnap them for the purpose of deprogramming. You know that kind of person who is always complaining about some injustice and yet does little or nothing about it. Sure it's illegal to kidnap someone against their will but it would be for their own good?
The purpose of the deprogramming session would be to make them aware that they have been running on automatic. To make them conscious that life can be fun, easy, and over-flowing with abundance. By the time we were done with them they would leave with a big goofy grin and be laughing and dancing their way down the street. They would be super positive people willing to take on any worthy challenge. And as new converts I think they would be trying to convince others of the merits of their new found happiness and if not, then recommend them for deprogramming as well.
Now that is what I call a great daydream!

P.S. I've even heard of people who were programmed to cheer for the New York Yankees and some to even cheer for the Toronto Maple Leafs......isn't that sad?

I agree, we are programmed and it takes a lot to change that. Most people never even try to change or for that matter even see a need for change. Here is a story I think you might like. (I'm just full of stories!)
A couple brought home a new baby from the hospital. There, waiting for them was their four year old son with his grand-mother and several friends. There was much loving and admiration directed toward the new baby. After everyone finally went home and the family was settling in the little four year old ask his parents if he could go into the nursery and spend some time alone with his infant brother. Mom and Dad were a little concerned about sibling jealousy but said OK since there was a baby monitor in the nursery. The little boy entered his baby brother's nursery and this is what the parents heard him say to the baby.........
"Tell me about God brother, I am starting to forget!"
I think that may be what happens. Maybe we just forget who we are and where we are from. Maybe the re-programming is simply a matter of remembering.
good story Gracie
