Don’t feed your Lizard

August 28th, 2010 · View Comments · Entrepreneurship

The Lizard is always listening, always watching.

It is the voice inside your head that fears and hates. The Lizard wants vengeance.

The Lizard is lazy.

My Lizard doesn’t like to dance.

I try to ignore my Lizard. I try to starve him to death.

My Lizard does tricks. He sounds like common sense.

His logic is impeccable.

My Lizard comes up with tons of reasons not to exercise.

My Lizard does not want to take my 15-year-old out to practice her driving. Neither do I.

Jules and I have been together a long time. Our Lizards like each other. They feed each other.

Our Lizards really hate it when we are the only ones dancing at a big party.

Other peoples Lizards laugh at us.

Maybe it isn’t enough to stop feeding your own Lizard, but we need to try to starve other peoples Lizards.

When you see people hating, fearing and gossiping, remember to talk to them, not to their Lizard.

Encourage your friends, families and co-workers to stop feeding their Lizards.

A lot of politicians are in the business of feeding Lizards. If you read the news, you’ll see lots of Lizards are being fed. Try to ignore them.

Have a great day. Hope your Lizard dies.

P.S. Seth Godin inspired this writing. My Lizard didn’t want to give him credit.
