Episode Synopsis

I know you've heard this before that opinions are like trash cans, and they all stink. And I'm gonna say that's true also. But here's something that I want you to practice for me. And it's an assignment for today. And that is to not have an opinion. What that means is is to not share your thoughts, things that you're opinionated about. And here's why. Because when you have an opinion, when you have a thought, or something that's just really important for you to share in a conversation, what that means is, is that you're actually judging the other person as being wrong. Now, you can argue with me about this point if you want to, but I'm probably right, that when you have a charge, and you feel like it's really important that you say what you're thinking, you're actually creating the idea that you're more important than they are, or you want to convince them about something that's true. And no one's going to be convinced, by your opinion, really, you know, I have ideas and thoughts by very seldom do I have real opinions, because none of us really know anything, for sure. I mean, there's so many things that we can't prove. It's just the idea or our past experiences that causes us to have strong opinions. Again, so the assignment is to not have an opinion today, don't share your thoughts. When you feel it's really important. Hold on to them and don't share them. Here's why. It will bring more happiness and joy to you. It will lower the negative energy in the moment, you'll have more peace, it actually will bring bring life to the conversation. And on top of that the other person may actually like you, even if you disagree with them, don't have an opinion and see how that feels on the inside. Now, the second part of this is that if you have an opinion, and you hold on to it, something happens to the inside of you. What that means is that you actually release the energy eventually, and you'll actually feel better, I promise. So practice. Have a new opinion today and see how it goes for you. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
