Don't Eat Green M&M's! They'll make you pregnant!
Traveling back from LA last week, Kathy and Lenny hopped on a plane and settled themselves into 7A (which seems to be their remote office seat assignment.) Minutes later, a young, attractive, blond woman sat down beside them. After she buckled up, she opened up a bag of M&M's and started eating them one by one.
"Don't eat the green ones!" Kathy blurted out.
With a puzzled look on her face, the woman asked, "Why?"
"They'll make you pregnant!" Kathy exclaimed.
"Where did you hear that absurdity?"
"My best friend in the fourth grade told me that and I have never eaten a green M&M in my life. Obviously it worked, I've never been pregnant!" Kathy responded.
The woman chuckled, hand-picked out a green M&M, held it up, and challenged Kathy. "Wanna finally test it out?"
Kathy cautiously took it and thought, "It's about time. Why not?" She tossed it in her mouth. (Don't hold your breath for an upcoming 60 Seconds of Shedding birth announcement!)
Lenny has observed humans and has noticed that sometimes they accept what others tell them as truth. Without question, people insanely believe what they are told - especially if it comes from someone respected, like parents, teachers, ministers, counselors, or friends. Often times we forget to STOP and ask ourselves if what we've been told equates with our own reason and common sense. If it doesn't, it's time to SHED IT!
Lenny's Challenge: Take 60 seconds and ask yourself, "What are my beliefs?" List as many as you can about life, work, family, religion. Then, ask, "Have I really stopped and asked myself if these beliefs are mine or if I've just accepted them because someone told me that I should?" What can you do today to STOP, question, and shed those beliefs that no longer serve you?
