"Some squirrels have conditioned
themselves to gather acorns. Also, the
boogey-man has conditioned himself
to hide under beds. We're not
boogey-men nor squirrels, but we can
condition ourselves for success like
them!"
It's true folks. Conditioning is "a
type of training that involves dieting,
exercise, and rest," according to
Merriam-Webster. The 2nd
definition says that "conditioning is a
simple form of learning that involves
the formation, strengthening, or
weakening of an association involving
a stimulus and response." In other
words, you train yourself to put two
and two together to make four.
Conditioning is important in life
because it's an essential part of
training, which can improve your
bottom line. When I say that some
squirrels have conditioned
themselves to gather acorns, that's
true.
So, how do you go about conditioning
yourself? It starts with reading,
gathering and acquiring knowledge,
and train yourself through exercise
and practice. Diet also is key. You
shouldn't be an Olympic boxer AND
expect to win the gold medal if you
eat 10 bags of pork rinds a day, along
with 8 chicken tenders, and 6 liters of
pop a day! It usually won't work
because you'll get tired and get beat -
probably. You can't win eating
animals.
So start including a vegetarian
regimen in your repertoire, because
that's when the real fruit kicks in in
this life. If you eat fruits and no meat,
and drink water, stay away from
alcohol, drugs, smoking, and meats,
you have the proper diet. With
physical conditioning, just go for
walks every day - 3 to 4 walks a day.
Pray and read books, including the
Bible. That's good!
With mental condition, Yogi Berra
said "90% of the game is half
mental!" Just condition yourself to
say no to anything bad for you and
yes to anything good for you. You
will know what's good for you by the
fruit. For instance, somebody emails
you and says that you've "just won
$450 million dollars...click here to
claim." That's probably a scam - an
indecent proposition or offer.
However, let's say you get another
email that says, "you're eligible to
receive free ebook downloads for 120
days. Unlimited free ebook
downloads for 4 months. click here to
get it!" That's usually going to be
more credible than a out of space
prize of 450 million big ones. So
you'll know what's going on by the
fruit that manifests itself in this life.
Just remember, conditioning will get
you to the door. Action will open the
door. Strategy will keep you in the
game. And execution and
determination will help you win the
game. Sportsmanship will keep a
friend. And humility will give you
honor. Honor will give you power.
And power will give you respect.
That's the flow of power in this life.
Read and receive....Power!
Chapter 17: Knowledge => Power
"The more positive things you know,
the better off you might be."
It's true. There was an old
commercial on NBC that had an
actor saying some stuff, and then at
the end of the actor talking, there'd
be a shooting star in space with
rainbow colors and you could hear a
voice in the background saying, "The
More You Know!" There'd be a
banner on the screen saying the same
thing too. You see, knowledge is
information organized in an efficient
manner. Knowledge can help turn a
bad situation into a good situation
because knowledge can give you
power to over come some stuff. I
mean, for example, let's say you're a
chess player, a novice one, and you
didn't have a good opening strategy
so you used to lose a bunch of games.
But you pick up an ebook on opening
strategy and practice, and eventually
you win a lot...that's using knowledge
to accrue a powerful result. Gaining
knowledge is paramount, absolutely
important!
Acquiring knowledge should be part
of everyone's training regiment.
Knowing how to do something is
better than not knowing. For
instance, let's say you've been given a
helicopter for your 50th birthday gift.
How much sense does it make to have
a helicopter but don't know how to
fly the thing? None! Likewise, how
much sense does it make to have
job, but not know how to do it
efficiently? We have to start working
towards efficiency and that begins
with accruing knowledge. A black
man named Rod at Summit
Behavioral Healthcare said on
10-11-2011 that "knowing is half the
battle." That's very true. So gather
some info and get some knowledge.
Get a training manual or instruction
guide in your field of study - it really
works!
Knowing is half the battle, so win
that ballgame and you're already at a
draw. Actually execute the proper
knowledge and the battle might be
won!
