01Flipping the Switch
I recently started reading a buddy's blog. He has been writing about the thing he knows best, FORCE. No matter how you want to define it, it's the same thing. Whether it is the all governing force the Jedi speak of, or the physical pressure you apply to the jar of pickels, it's the same.
Force = Charisma, "mojo", enthusiasm, positive energy, competitive internal drive, personal magnetism and is sometimes referred to as the "edge."
In the most recent post, Law VII, the ability to turn on the force is addressed. He breaks it down to a single action. It's something we do on a continuous basis each day. You flip the switch. It's that easy. Like turning on a light bulb. You just flip the switch. Don't over complicate it. Of course for most of us turning on the force isn't that easy. Most of us don't know where that switch lies and how to actually harness it.
Realizing that you have that switch is half the battle. Now all you have to do is turn it on. Find the force in you and flip the switch. When the going gets tough, flip the switch. When you have more work than time, flip the switch. When you are up shit's creek without a paddle, flip the switch. When you are down to your last $5 chip at the craps table… then you should probably save your money and go home. But you get my point.
So stop bitching, complaining and sulking. Shut up, realize you have what it takes and phuking flip the switch!!!
