Lesson 5 – Anger is Really Not Our Friend.
Simplicity is really the name of the game here, huh?
By now, I’m sure you’ve got a good idea of how simple Simpleology is and how easy it is going to be to apply to your own life.
Lesson 5 is really just an introduction of the next couple of lessons as it lays out The Scientific Formula for Success, which are:
1) See your target
2) Keep it in your sights
3) Hit it (until you hit it)
As I was watching the Lesson, I was a little bit surprised by it. I expect a lot from this course. I’ve heard a lot of people I admire say that it changed the way they conduct business. I expect every Lesson to be beneficial and if not full of useful information, then at least there should be some nugget of something helpful. I don’t need a review of 4 simple subjects and an intro to 3 more. Can it be that some of Simpleology lessons are irrelevant wastes of space?
I was so upset that I started throwing my little rubber ball at the wall really hard. I really felt gypped. I started thinking about how mad I was becoming. Which made me start thinking about what a waste this course was. Which made me start thinking about the course itself. I went through each of the first four lessons in my head and felt like they were just some sort of trick, some scam to make us think we were getting something beneficial when we really weren’t getting squat.
I must have been sitting there for a good fifteen minutes when Janine, our new secretary came into my office and asked if I wanted a cup of coffee. I shot her a deadly look and she scampered away.
I stopped myself right then and there. It took me a second to fully realize it, but I realized that I was angry and that my anger was clouding my judgment. I’m very fond of Janine and it was sweet of her to offer me coffee, but because I was angry, I sent her away scared. I couldn’t believe that my emotions got the best of me like that.
I realized that maybe my anger that was aimed at Simpleology was misplaced as well. I know that the lessons really are great and maybe, this is exactly what Lesson 5 is meant to teach us.
Sometimes life doesn’t always give us what we’re looking for. Sometimes we find that we are standing still instead of moving forward. But despite anything that might happen, we should always remember what we’ve learnt and look ahead to what we will learn in the future. If you trust your teacher and the knowledge he provides, you should be able to level you out even in the most desperate of times.
And don’t let your anger get the better of you, a clear mind always wins out.

He needs repition to drive home his methods. I am sure they will become more complicated as the theme is developed.
as for you getting angry – that is a nonsense, you need some serious help if you get angry over something like this.
Your anger will shorten your life every time you do not control it.
Hope you apologised to Janine

These lessons are simple and that is the point. If you follow simple proven methods, they can make massive changes.
