Hurry!

Posted to FaceBook May 15th
I received a bank statement the other day.  In its announcement section it was telling me to "Hurry, contest ends May 31, 2012." 

We can be so use to operating in the:
Hurry;
Push;
Be busy;
Rush;
I am going to miss out;
Opportunities are limited;
Stay in control;
I am going to be left out;
There is not enough to go around;
We have to talk people into things;
Urgency is how to motivate people;
We have to push to be successful'
way of being, messages like that feel normal.

LOP announcements would be more like:
"We are having so much fun here, and we are open to anyone who is wanting fun to come join in."
"We have this contest we have decided to do because we think it will be a lot of fun, and if you feel inspired to enter these are some of the things that you could win, which we are so excited to give away."
"We have decided to do this contest and there really are no ulterior motives of trying to get you to use your credit card more, or create a mailing list, because we believe in our business and know the value of what we do.  We just really wanted to share our appreciation of you, with you."

I know, "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."  John Lennon.
