Read Murder at the Cooking School: Book 7 of the Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery Series Online
Authors: Dianne Harman
“Which is why more and
more people are home schooling children nowadays,” said one gal.
“I guess that’s why
those who drop out of school end up smarter; lesser conditioning leads to
lesser memories which gives you the freedom to come up with original thoughts,”
said a woman with a wry smile.
“The little ones are
precious. If the early years are filled with fear, doubt, criticism and anger,
then all efforts to turn a new leaf are met with stiff resistance,” said the
chairman.
“This leads to a
hunger, a hunger to be validated, to be appreciated, to be loved, the bigger
the hunger the bigger the malediction for megalomania.”
“This hunger drives you
wayward as you push for name, fame and recognition; you are searching for the
“affection and appreciation” you never got when you were little.”
“You run roughshod over
all the blessings and miracles waiting for you, if only you had slowed down and
embraced them, what a beautiful life this would have been!”
“I’m now beginning to
understand why most people are so afraid of life. The fear, the guilt, the
conditioning, the memories… ugh,” said an elderly lady, shaking her head in
disgust.
“I just want to take
this bag of poop I’ve been carrying all my life and throw it in the ocean,”
said another.
“We’ve been driving
with the hand brake on, burning precious energy on nothing,” said a senior
gentleman.
“And
most people
don’t even know where the hand-brake is
,” uttered another.
“I like where this is
going,” said one man, with a smile so big you could have walked right into it.
“Me too, it’s the exact
opposite of what we’ve been taught so far,” beamed another.
“Looks like we’ve been
making the wrong dickcisions for a long time,” said a young guy.
"But how do we
begin if we have very little or nothing to start the journey?" asked a
distraught young woman.
“
To attain
fulfillment one has to start with fulfillment,
and
contentment,
is being in a state of fulfillment at all times
," said the chairman
smiling.
"You make it sound
so easy," she said giggling.
“I say we take a pledge
that from this moment on we’re gonna LIVE, and not leak and creak our way
through life, and no more fear or guilt, screw that crap,” said one man, as he
put his hand out.
Everyone put their hand
out and yelled: “YEAH.”
"Can anyone tell
me what you guys just did?" asked the chairman. They shook their heads in
the negative.
"
You changed
your attitude, and the right attitude is priceless.
"We'll now discuss
something so simple yet so profound that the sooner you embrace it, the faster
your fortunes will turn around. It's ancient but timeless, and it's the
most
precious thing
I possess when it comes to making money, it's called -
Actionless Action."
