Who remembers rolling their eyes as their parents repeated some saying or other for what felt like the thousandth time?

You know the type;

“If all of your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?”
“Two wrongs don’t make a right”
“Life’s not fair”
“It’ll all end in tears”
“I want doesn’t get”
“There are starving kids in Africa that would love that”

And………..

Even worse………….

Find yourself saying exactly the same to your own kids now / when they were that age?

Not just me then?

They are all good points.

Lessons we can all benefit from learning.

And of being reminded of.

Especially in different contexts.

Which is what we’ll be doing this week.

Today and over the next four days.

Today?

It’s a twofer (two for one).

“If all of your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?”

And……..

“Two wrongs don’t make a right”

It’s easy to allow our habits to blend in with those we spend the most time with.

For what they do to be seen as the ‘norm’.

Everyone we hang out with carry a few extra stone and it’s more likely that we will too.

None of them exercise and, chances are, we won’t either.

Put me in a room of ten “whingers” and I’ll probably become an eleventh.

When most people around us are doing something that doesn’t benefit them, it’s tempting to do the same.

But those two ‘wrongs’ don’t make a ‘right’.

We wouldn’t jump off a cliff if our friends did, so why live a lifestyle that is the slower acting equivalent?

Maybe tweak those people that make our peer group.

Doesn’t mean we need to remove people, but maybe redress the balance by adding (more of) others in?

Us perhaps?

And to remind ourselves of what we truly want.

What’s important to us.

Not, what seems ‘normal’.

Unless that happens to be what we want.

Remember – “You wouldn’t jump off a cliff because your friends had” and “Two wrongs don’t make a right”.
