"reverse psychology"

[DisneylandUSA]

I figure I would start a topic on this. What I'm discussing is not really reverse psychology in the traditional sense, it does if fact strike a chord due to the fact the way the subconscious handles things (tends to not think and process in negatives).
So it's like this
Try NOT to play the eye game.
Think about that one suggestion for a while.
Try NOT to imagine yourself being surrounded by people you love.
And so on.
Try NOT to visualize a shoe...

What happens to you when you get told no? You want to do it MORE.

No, means 'No.' It has been debatable about discouragement brings about the desire to succeed. Families have relatives that are successful and, competition strives when relatives only communicate if they see outward appearance such as: careers, finances, vacations. Psychology talks about 'Negative re-enforcement' to bring about Change. With my personality, I try to stay away from 'naysayers' and try to motivate myself internally... perhaps, 'no, means 'yes.'
