27 Aug Susan’s Sound Advice #655
Last night, I awoke around 3 am and turned on the television. At that hour, most of the channels are airing infomercials (I guess they realize that they have a captive audience of insomniacs!). Here’s some of the examples: “Make Millions Without Leaving Your Home”, “The 3 Day Miracle Weight Loss Diet”, “Grow Your Hair With This Miracle Cream”…. and so on. My opinion is that these commercials aredeceptive, and these companies are making billions because consumers are buying into them! They believe that they will instantly lose 30 pounds in a week by swallowing a pill while sitting on the couch watching tv? Take it from me: There are NO shortcuts to success in life. Unless you win the lottery, you are not going to be a millionaire in six months just by listening to an audio tape. You are not going to go from a size 12 to a size 2 in a few days just by drinking a shake or swallowing a pill or wearing a vibrating belt; You are not going to have wrinkle-free skin overnight just because you buy a cream that says you will. Positive results take time, discipline and constant persistence. Please don’t get sucked into these pitches when your inner voice and common sense are screaming otherwise. We live in a society of instant gratification, but that is not reality. It takes effort to achieve our goals, Put that effort in and then do an infomercial telling people how you worked hard to lose your weight by eating healthily and exercising every day; how you earned more money by furthering your education and getting that degree; etc. Always remember that if something seems to good to be true, it usually is! #dailyinspiration #susankorwin #lifecoach #author #simplestridestowardpositi vechange
