“Time to Go to a New Movie / Don’t Ask the World to Change”
“Got this one from a Tony Robbins seminar (I think it was ‘Date with Destiny’):
You have any movies you just absolutely hated? Yah? Me, too.
Quick question: Would you go watch it 10,000 times?
Um. Riiiight.
That’d be pretty stupid, eh?
So, another quick question: Why do we replay that horrible scene from our lives over and over and over and over and over and over again?
Time to go to a new movie, wouldn’t you say?” (Brian Johnson, Chief Philosopher and CEO of en*theos)
