Couch Potato Success Factors
Thursday, January 26th, 2006
There are five key character traits of superior couch
potatoes. You really do need to become aware of these
critical success factors if you are to master the
underground couch potato world.
1. A total lack of interest in the outside world. Any self
respecting couch potato has virtually no interest
whatsoever in venturing out doors. There is no point since
all your human needs can be satisfied in your living room.
2. The ability to let go of all personal ambition. This is
a character trait of the advanced couch potato artist. Very
few ever attain this - the ultimate goal. Still, hold it in
mind as your vision of nirvana.
3. Fight club rules apply. Remember, nobody talks about the
couch potato lifestyle. It is a way of life to be enjoyed
for its own sake. Do not glorify it or use it to satisfy
the ego´s need for adulation.
4. Resist nothing. Let in your need to be. Be and do not
do. This is couch potato tao at its finest. Experience the
moment, devour those snacks, enjoy your chilled beer and
lose yourself in TV. Be!
5. Drop your status needs until you no longer have any
materialistic drive. This is important. If you spend hours
every evening watching TV you need to let the adverts. wash
over you without getting caught up in the need to acquire.
The same applies when lavish lifestyles are presented in
movies and serials. In most cases you are being encouraged
to drop the higher path of pleasure and relaxation for a
world of effort and striving. Be very careful at these
moments to stay true to your ideals.
