We are grateful for your explanation- sounds like we’d be best to simply listen to the first 15 seconds, to get our thinking sorted out clearly, then mute the remainder. Appreciate your continued motivational videos.

Matt, I've got a question. How do you get so much time to write so many books?
@negativeaffirmations11 күн бұрын
Thank you for your patronage. The books are all different, but a common theme runs throughout. When I get inspiration, I jot things down. When I get down, I jot things down. When I hear someone complaining, I jot things down. Unfortunately, this week I have some sort of writer's block, so I will just promote a previous book in next week's video. Thank you for your interest!

ROMO - Relief Of Missing Out. If you went to the party you might have gotten too drunk and embarrassed yourself. If you went to the wedding you might have been ignored by everyone and humiliated. If you went to any other kind of outing you could have had a piano drop on you. Always look on the bright side of being unpopular.

"Expect the Worst", from "Negative Affirmations, the Musical" Woken up in the morning by the alarm Lying on it all night had numbed my arm Went to make breakfast and was put in no doubt I’d forgotten to replace the milk that ran out The car wouldn’t start, the taxi took too long Tried to text the boss and it just came out wrong My arm’s still asleep, my head started to throb By the time I got there I was out of a job Took me two hours just to get back home The wife for some reason not answering the phone Well, I found out why when I entered the bedroom Took one look at them both and just spluttered out, “whom?” She told me to leave and told me good and hard (I wondered why my stuff was out on the yard) But my friends all said they had no room at their places And that’s just a partial list of my disgraces Do you see me frowning? Well of course you do You’d be sitting here drinking if it happened to you And here I remain on this stool at this bar And here is where I want to stay forever But even drinking to sleep has its limits When your whole life has fallen to pieces and bits But there’s one thing I’ve learned at the end of this verse You’ll never get it wrong when you expect the worst
