Neuro-Linguistic Programming by *marzguy:iconmarzguy:





“I can’t do ANYTHING right.”
And so you can’t.

“I don’t have what it takes.”
Indeed, you don’t.

“I’m not very good at this.”
I can tell you’re not.

“I have trouble finishing things.”
And so you won’t.

“I’m not very pretty, you know.”
Yes.  I’ve noticed.

                                A brief interlude.
                                Thoughts transformed.


“I’m about to get it right.”
An expectation.

“I’m developing what it takes.”
Corrective action.

“I’ve gotten better at this.”
A sign of progress.

“It’s time to get this done.”
Your goal.  Achievable.

“I’m pretty in a thousand ways.”
You’ve begun to shine.

Author's Comments

We always assume that we're in control of our thoughts, but perhaps our thoughts are in control of us.

I am fortunate to have met many wonderful people in deviantArt, but at this moment I would like to acknowledge one -- Toonrama [link] --who is just like me, except he’s from India, is young, virile, and a fine artist, while I’m from the US, ancient, retrospectively virile and (due to the incessant use of the computer keyboard and mouse) generally losing the ability to write my own name legibly.

Toonrama has shown interest and enthusiasm for my thoughts over the past few weeks and particularly neuro-linguistic programming. While I’m not an expert in this field it’s an area I’ve done some reading about over the past decade or so, so some aspects have gradually sunk in. I hope this work lives up to Rama's expectations.

A big thanks to Romanian, creative photographer Candy Max DeeYu (dA handle ~candymax) who has allowed me to use her photo “Sad or happy” as the preview visual for this piece.

For being such a young photographer, Candymax has some creative pictures stashed away in her gallery. A fullview of “Sad or happy” is available at [link]

But how to know the difference between being arrogant and being upset with its thoughts? There is a thin line between them (I hope I have expressed well...) :)

Oh. Didn't I tell you?

We DID enter your head. Some amazing things there, but we left the purple zebra and neon bongo drums alone and just took a small sliver of compassion.

Let me know if you need it back.

Skipping down Maguire Street.
It made my heart soar.

So that was you?! Wow!! I just thought my brain is finally developing.

Ah, feel free to keep the compassion. My treat. I have plenty. ;) :hug:

400 --

I don't quite understand the question.

Arrogance reflects an inflated self-image which, I guess, could come from to much internal "I am the greatest" thinking.

Upsetting thoughts would be destructive ones, like the ones first highlighted in this piece.

I think the main point is....what are we saying to ourselves?

You know there are a few times I've caught you talking down your own capabilities, 400. You've got to talk to yourself in a more constructive way if you expect achievement to become your reality.

If you start getting arrogant, I'll let you know.

CandyMax --

The picture works beautifully with this piece. Thanks for allowing me to use it.

And I welcome you as my latest "watcher." I hope I still have a good poem or two left in me.
