HE’S JUST LIKE HIS DAD!


HE’S JUST LIKE HIS DAD!

So what might be happening here? It seems that Stuart is having great fun as a little chef, whilst Frank is literally having a smashing time which is making him very unhappy. Now this simply could be a snapshot in time, all children have good days and off days. But you will see, as the story continues, that this is the beginning of a trend for both boys.

Stuart loves helping out in the kitchen, just like his Dad who often prepares the family meals. Today, Stuart has decided to make a green caterpillar cake for his fifth birthday. He’s always busy making something, or using his creative imagination to travel to outer space in his personalised space shuttle, which he puts together out of pots and pans from under the kitchen sink.

“Mmm, that cake looks delicious Stuart, when will it be ready for putting into the oven?”

“Soon Mum,” Stuart quickly responds.

Both parents encourage Stuart to do well and to express himself. This takes a lot of time and a lot of patience and they see this as an investment for the future and the quality of Stuart’s life.

Frank’s parents are also very busy and sometimes too busy to give Frank the attention that he really needs. He’d love to play a game of bat and ball with Dad, but Dad spends most evenings down the pub to ‘relax after a stressful day at work.’

“Just look at the damage you’ve done Frank, you stupid boy, you are just like your Dad,” screams Frank’s Mum.

Frank cries uncontrollably, “I’m not stupid; I only wanted to play bat and ball.”

Frank skulks off to his bedroom. Peace once more returns to the unhappy household – until the next time.

Can you see that each child is becoming a product of his parents’ habitual way of thinking and acting? Remember that as infants they are waiting to be moulded. Stuart and Frank do not yet have the ability to control what ideas enter their subconscious minds. Their minds are just like sponges and they will absorb whatever is continually fed into them. We refer to this as conditioning.

Eric Berne

SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESS…

The first three chapters of this book you are now reading reveals a wonderful truth that can set you free to achieve whatever it is that you desire.

The truth is that you are a product of other people’s habitual way of thinking and acting. This explains why you may not be achieving the results you want.

You have been conditioned to think, feel and act in certain automatic habitual ways. These conditioned responses may not be serving you at all well.

The really good news is that you are going to learn how to replace the old self-limiting conditioning with a new programme – a programme to transform your personal life, your business life, or both. You choose.

You now know why you behave the way you do, and perhaps why you don’t do many of the things you want to do. You are now going to learn how to achieve the results you really want.

But before you are tempted to carry on to the next chapter please read the first three chapters again and get used to these new ideas, because these vital principles will lay a solid foundation for you to build the rest of your life on.
