THE DAILY GROOVE ~ by Scott Noelle

:: Do You Know How I Know...? ::

There's a scene in the comedy movie "The 40-Year-Old
Virgin" where two men get into a back-and-forth
exchange of insults, each beginning with "You know
how I know you're gay?"

While I'm not inclined to re-enact the homophobic
banter, the scene inspired me and my wife to use the
back-and-forth format in a positive, playful way...

One day, when we were stressed about money, we
deliberately shifted from scarcity to prosperity
thinking by asking each other repeatedly:

"Do you know how I know we're rich?"

Each time, we sifted through our current life
experience for evidence of abundance and answered...

* Because we have two wonderful children.
* Because we have plenty of good food.
* Because we have supportive friends.

Soon our kids caught wind of the fun and joined the
game enthusiastically...

* Because we can play all day.
* Because we all love each other.
* Because... Because... Because...

Soon we were all *feeling* rich, and the ebb in our
cash flow didn't seem like such a big problem anymore!

So... How do you know YOU'RE rich? :-)

  2. That's pretty cool Kristina. It sounds like a great way to release tension. We have one but it's not nearly as nice. Ours is a mockery of Scarface's speech, "You want to play rough? Okay! Okay! Say hello...." Yeah,you know the rest.
    Funny thing, the kids haven't seen the movie. (I can't imagine them watching the bathroom scene.) They just play along with Mom being silly.

    Kids are great.....
    most of the time.
