Art is a gift to GOGI from GOGI student Nicholas Moran. FOR–GIVE as a Tool is not about forgiveness. The two are different. FOR–GIVE, as used by GOGI, is a tool, not a concept. Most religions and most cultures teach the power of forgiveness, which frees you from many negative emotions and feelings. The difference is that the GOGI Tool FOR–GIVE can help you come to a greater understanding and application of forgiveness in your life. FOR–GIVE as a tool requires that you protect [...]
This is an excerpt from page 52 of the How To GOGI book. Art is a gift to GOGI from GOGI student Hartman. Practice is the only way we can perfect a skill.

You can use CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY to take charge of your actions, your reactions, your opinions, your words, and your responses to [...]

Using the tool POSITIVE ACTIONS is your visible proof to the world that you are moving in a powerful and positive direction in your life.

Art is a gift to GOGI from GOGI student Domingo Gonzales Jr. This is an excerpt from page 73 of the How To GOGI book. It is amazing how much you reveal about yourself when you choose your words. If you wrote down all the words you say each day, are they mostly negative or mostly positive? Do you think that others force you to choose a certain set of words? Do you make excuses for the negative words you choose? Words contain the [...]
Art is a gift to GOGI from a GOGI student. This is an excerpt from page 44 of the How To GOGI book. The challenge for some people in altering their perspective is that when they are being negative they claim they are simply being realistic.

This poses a problem for them [...]

When you are told, “just don't think about smoking a cigarette,” it seems as if all you can think about is a cigarette. The human mind does not work well with negatives.
