#53 Optical Rectitis

All I heard was tththththththttpppppthth. Tttthththtppphttht.

-“Thank you for calling GIH where we instigate growth one call at a time where we utilize antiquated technology to deliver 3-minute leadership lessons, every day of the week. This is message #53 and I am Aaron Havens. This message especially goes out to Dan from Colorado.

Ththtthtthppptptpt is the best way to describe what it sounds like when some people talk.  The crazy thing is that the words they are saying are just symptoms of a deeper level of thinking and world view. 

Words can be a final result of our thoughts trying to find expression. 

Have you ever been around someone that was so negative, they see the world through such a bad lense that it hurts to listen to them?  

My buddy would say they have a bad case of Optical Rectitis!

They view the world through their butt hole!  Hahahah

Have you ever been around that person?  Oh wait… are you that person?!

If we view the world as bad and poor and unfair and without hope… what words do you think will fill up our vocabulary?  Then suddenly this highly contagious disease will fill up our work spaces, our homes, our clubs… we will impact all the places and spaces we go in a negative way!

That’s not us my friends.  Nope.  We will see the good in today.  I’m not saying lets be a Pollyanna— excessively cheerful even when bad things happen.  That’s equally repulsive.  I’m just asking… do you suffer from Optical Rectitis?  If so, do you like that?  Is that serving you well?  

Let’s be a people today that doesn’t view the world though our butt hole.  Let’s be a people the chooses to learn and grow and become better in ourselves as we impact others in a positive way. 

Big take away: 

Are your responses immediately negative?  

Be an observer of your comments today.  Do you tally mark more in the (+) or (-).

Would you want to listen to you?

Thanks for calling in today.  Tune in tomorrow for a fresh new topic.

At the sounds of the beep I want to hear from you.  Where is an area you have slipped into Optical Rectitus?  Let me know.  After the beep say 

“I will not speak out my butt today!”…
