Anyone Up For A Challenge?

Since the beginning of my blog, I have tried to let my readers
into my private life a little at a time, without giving too
much away (I really don't want psychos showing up at my door).
For instance, through the blog, you have learned, among other
things, that I am a recovering drug addict, that I was homeless
less than 10 years ago, that my wife is expecting, and that I
live near an extremely small town in Utah (population is less
than 400).
All of that aside, the one question that I get from most is:
"how can you live your life without a TV?" This question gets
funnier every time I hear it. My first initial response was,
"how can you live WITH a TV?" Watching TV is an alternative to
living. It's not possible to spend an hour actually playing with
the kids when you are spending that hour watching someone play
with kids on TV. It's not possible to spend a week cruising the
Caribbean when you are busy watching the Love Boat (or whatever
they have on TV now-a-days). It's TV or it's living. It can't
be both.
Living without a TV in my home was a choice I made long ago. It
was a choice to I made to give me my freedom. We've covered the
massive inverse statistical correlations between watching TV
and financial freedom. It's just a fact. A vast majority of
the desperately poor tune out regularly from life and watch TV.
A vast majority of the rich never watch the slavery tube. The
line between the two extremes is linear and it's pretty
obviously causal. A TV watcher can stop watching TV and
immediately start seeing more financial success in their life.
But still, there are those that are just baffled by this
choice. I could spend numerous hours explaining this choice in
detail, but it really only comes down to one… mine! I am not
telling everyone to get rid of their TV. We need poor people in
this world. There are some tasks that simply need to be
performed by the TV watchers in a J.O.B. I simply suggested
trying to live without it for a few days and find out how much
more freedom you feel you have. The world is full of things to
view things to do.
If you truly want the freedom that others have, just try this
experiment. Turn off the TV for two weeks. Find out what your
mind has to offer. Feel the freedom for just those two weeks.
The creativity that you possess may astound some of you. I know
it's in there… Just try it.
