There will always be danger and monsters, Inoculate yourself.

There will always be danger and monsters (click to see monsters in my garden in Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia) in life, and there will always be things and people that go against our wishes and wants, that seem to want to harm us.

Just be aware that they could be there, and inoculate against them..

In the medical field, we have been able to eradicate many diseases, for example polio, smallpox, and it continuous to be a fight to stop these diseases re-establishing themselves.

We can prevent people, animals and plants from getting diseases. In humans, the flu, measles, mumps and rubella to name just a few.

How can we prevent these diseases taking hold?

We inoculate against them.

We give the body a small dose of the disease in the form of an injection, and this small dose will grow and reproduce, and what it does is to allow the body to learn to fight it, to boost the immune system by creating and inducing anti bodies that will attack any future infections.

If you know that you may be traveling to some far off distant land, were there could be some potentially dangerous diseases, you go to the doctor or clinic and ask for an injection to inoculate against catching the disease.

If you are going out, to shop, to celebrate or just to walk, and the sky looks black, heavy with rain clouds, it is sensible to take an umbrella. You are looking forward, preparing for something that could happen. Inoculating.

As you go about your daily life, business, leisure, pleasure, be aware of the potential things that could go wrong, and prepare for them, just in case they do happen.

For me as I travel the world teaching and training (visit my web site www.nlpnow.net for courses) with people from differing cultures and beliefs, I know I am going to say and do the wrong things, I inoculate the participants against my unintended mistakes by telling them I may do or say the wrong things.

In business have a contingency plan for happenings that do not follow the original structure or plan. Inoculate.

If entering a relationship, as a young lady I know was hoping to do, what happens if the other person has no interest, perhaps in this case it turned out that he was gay, something she could not see or recognize as she pursued him? Rather than letting her get hurt by his rejection in the future, I inoculated her by suggesting the possible rejection and why, but allowing her to carry out her quest. She was rejected, but they remain good friends.

Do not dwell or stop doing what you want to do, just because there could be dangerous monsters lurking to get you, just be aware they could be there, prepare, inoculate, but go for your dream.

    This story sounds familiar But the fact is I was not rejected, I rejected I did not tell you the whole story. He was really eager to visit me at my home and in my one weak moment, i invited him. We watched movie and while watching the movie, the only thing in my mind was how I could get rid of him and then I used a way which is commonly used by girls to get rid of an unwanted man, which of course I will not explain here, and we have never seen each other again, at least intentionally, because once I saw him on the bus And that's all. I understood he was gay but the point is your inoculation really worked because after all your inoculations, i started to think if he could be gay and then when he really turned out to be, it was easier to accept the bitter truth)) but anyway I'm really happy with a straight one. That's what counts!!! By the way I dearly miss NLP times, now that i realize it taught me a lot!!!
