Newsletter: Potroast January 09
I love this story of the roast beef. How many times we as human beings do, say and act in the ways we are taught without questioning anything? Working with so many people, I've come to realize that our internal programming (thoughts, feelings, beliefs) are the ones that determine our outwards results (how we live our lives).
As Jane serves "roast pork" for dinner, John comments on how "delicious" it looks but has been wondering for a long time why Jane cuts off both ends of the pork. She ask her, "well dear" replies Jane, "I have always watched my mother do it when I was growing up and therefore cannot answer why this has to be done, however I shall ask her why when I speak with her next"
Later that evening Jane calls her mother to ask. After a short silent pause, the mother replies "Well dear, I have always watched your grandmother prepare the roast pork this way, therefore maybe you should ask her" By this time curiosity has got the better of Jane and she calls her grandmother almost immediately.... "Grandma, why do you cut off both ends of the roast pork when preparing it" ask Jane. "is this to make it taste better" Her Grandma replies "well Jane, as far as I can remember the reason I done that was because I could not fit the pork into my cooking pot otherwise"
My challenge to you this week is what one area of your life do you keep repeating over and over again with now new results? Have an awesome week.
Best wishes,
