When I saw how I was not only acting disrespectful to others with expletives, and that I showed low self-respect, bordering on self loathing, it was not a pretty picture.
Jerry Seinfeld said during an interview recently that he believed that comedy without "potty-mouth" was "a better game". He intimated that even if it was real easy to get gigs "talking raunchy", he got much better, longer lasting, better paying jobs, when he kept it clean.
That clinched it for me. I was negotiating a 2 book deal with a self-help publisher. One book was going to be clean, and the other "potty-mouth", both full of the same info. They were just as interested as I was to see the response. Seinfeld's concept clinched it for me not to do it. I would be going public with my low self-respect.
So, now I humbly work on my self-respect.
