They are stuck in routines of daily life

They are afraid from it, because the explorer runs the risk of

How can I make sure that the kick I took wont wear off and I do not

need one again?

By using the thought monitor

Thought

Monitor

Page 31: A Kick In The Seat Of The Pants

04/18/2023 Madawi Alotaibi

Look at the shoe picture

Ask your self these questions

* Am I getting lazy?

* Am I too busy?

* Am I becoming arrogant?

* Am I getting timid?

If you answer “yes” to any one of them, that is your warning

to kick that attitude

Use this thought monitor once a day and you wont have to

worry about getting your ends reversed
