2. I've been to a lot of seminars, for a lot
of different subjects over the years.

3. And one thing I've noticed is that the
"momentum" usually wears off after a
while.

4. During the seminar, when you're
listening to the teacher talk, and
imagining how much better your life is
going to get, it feels pretty good.
Especially when you meet all kinds of
folks and stay up late in the lounge
area talking about your big plans.

5. Then the seminar ends, you go back
home, and it's the same old routine.

6. I remember once I was waiting in this
HUGE line to get this famous TV
personalities autograph for his book. It
was for an Xmas gift, and I was kind of
shocked at how much of a following
this guy had.

7. While I was waiting in line (for about 4
hours) I formed a "bond" with a few
people standing around me.

8. We started talking about our personal
lives, families etc. We made plans to
get together in the future. Like we
were old chums.

9. But as soon as we got our autographs,
that "bond" vanished like a wisp of
smoke.

10. Poof!

11. It's easy to feel all kinds of feelings "in
the moment," only to later wonder
what the heck happened.

12. This very common, since humans are,
on a deep level, "pack animals." We
pretty much soak up the energy
around us, and let it override any
"independent" thinking.

13. Most people don't like to hear things
like this, but how else do you explain
how some of those crazy fads come
and go and then are quickly forgotten?

14. Even 70 years after WWII, Germans
are still wondering how in the heck
they could have collectively gone so
incredibly crazy.

15. It's easy, natural and common to be
"swept up" in "group thinking."

16. It's something else entirely to be able
to create your own "energy" which has
direction, and is under your control.

17. Energy that will propel you forward
matter WHAT the circumstances are.

18. Energy that will keep you on track to
YOUR goals and dreams, not the
current "trend" of the crowd.

19. Now, this isn't as easy as programming
your destination into your GPS and just
sitting back while it tells you where to
go, but it is VERY similar.

20. Choose your destination. Program it
into your brain, and you'll see that
"energy" fill every situation you find
yourself in.

21. So you can do YOUR thing, not the
crowds.
