Feel Good About Yourself

Keep Your New Year Resolution? they say they are broken so often, they seem to be made to be broken.

Here is an article that I’d like you to read if your overall sense of life and your important areas of life is that they are stressful, and that you are never getting ahead. When you re-evaluate your projects with the method taught in this article, you will feel good about yourself, because you will keep more of your resolutions.

The method in this article can make a huge difference, and the time it takes is very small compared to you being stuck for a long-long time.

Joe (not his real name) made a new year resolution to stop smoking. He set the date, and he made a plan. Then he started to implement his plan. The plan was to gradually cut down. Then he kept on smoking.

We had our usual coaching call on Wednesday at noon. I asked: what would you like to accomplish in this call?

Joe started to talk about his weight… that one day he lost a pound, the other he gained 2… He weighed himself upon awakening every day, and he was mortified at the up and down nature of his daily weight. He was spending a lot of time worrying about that, he confessed.

Shifting baseline, or how I prepare for my side-hustle gig?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I am mentally and physically preparing for my coaching call tonight. I have watched some 15 videos, researched what others had to say…

I still feel unprepared to talk to a coach. By the way, it is clear to me that you don’t know what coaching is, or you wouldn’t be where you are at.

And it’s not personal.

The coach, so far spent ten minutes on a video to make me promise I’ll show up. The cost of not showing up. I have received three emails and two texts. That tells me many people don’t make the call.

What the coach hasn’t said so far is that only someone in action can be coached. Continue reading “Shifting baseline, or how I prepare for my side-hustle gig?”

Why can’t you get from A to Z? Why does it look hopeless?

Personal note: I have been in this transformation game since 1985. I never understood why the human condition was the way it was, why it was hopeless. I didn’t know about the selfish gene… I was completely ignorant. Like most transformational teachers I was ignorant.

A little knowledge is dangerous in the hand of someone who only missed that little knowledge… a little knowledge is dangerous in my hands. I am now confident that with this new knowledge I can guide you to better to win in life.

If you are here, then I guess everything is not going as well as you’d like it to.

How do we use our limited resources, energy, time, money

How do we use our limited resources, glycogen, time, money. Brain power. Energy. Attention. All limited resources.

Honestly, I don’t know what glycogen is, and why it is important… but…

Glycogen is some kind of sugar… a major energy source.

We all have resources that are limited. Either in time or in quantity. It seems that glycogen is one of those. It is the energy source that allows us to make things happen, to actually get something done.

And, as it turns out, we spend our glycogen on trifles. 90% of the time… By the way time. That, time is another limited resource… Once you used it up, it is gone. So is your money. Continue reading “How do we use our limited resources, energy, time, money”

Fighting a train for the right of way at a railway crossing

I woke up at 3 am with a start from a deep dream about principles spinning so hard that I could only follow them with full concentration…

I stared into the dark for a few minutes still seeing the images of the principles, and I got the words that go with the images: Continue reading “Fighting a train for the right of way at a railway crossing”

When Life, people seem to work against you…

When Life seems to work against you… or does opposite of what you expected

One of my teachers, via Ayn Rand, has been Aristotle.

He taught me one thing. Most people will not teach you much… they will attempt to do one thing and one thing only: alter your foundation.

And with regards to foundation altering: Aristotle’s teaching is the most jarring, and the most transformative.

Here is the teaching:

Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises.

If you are doing all the right things and still don’t get your results… that is a contradiction. Check your premises.

I woke up with a question this morning:

Have I succeeded to create a system that can put a human onto the path of becoming a human being?

The answer was ‘yes but’. And the proverbial search for the needle in the haystack began. Continue reading “I have the ascension process. ready. but can you hack it?”

You can’t JUMP to the truth… in fact, any jump is jump from the skillet to the fire

I like to use the 67 steps in my own process to slowly turning to the truth, and in teaching and coaching. That program seems to JUMP to SOME truth. But it is wise enough to not declare that small and relative truth, THE Truth.

This is in contrast with everybody else. Continue reading “Any jump is jump from the skillet to the fire”

People who raise their vibration and people who don’t?

Humanity can be divided to two groups. The dividing line is the vibration of 200… the level of responsibility and integrity.

Responsibility is a view of life where it is up to you. What? Everything. And when it is up to you, then you are never a victim, although things may happen to you, thing may be done to you, and yet you are not a victim. Because you have something to say in the matter… and you don’t say that you are a victim.

Responsibility is a dividing line, and I fully expect that 99 out of 100 of my readers, including my regular readers, my clients, my students, think responsibility is either a duty (you have to, need to, or should) or blame (you had to, you needed to, you should have… and you didn’t!)

How reliable is your judgment? Are you judgmental? astute?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Astuteness means:

To judge something accurately, you need a lot of skills, spiritual capacities, including seeing the big picture, etc. You need to be able to tell similar things apart. You need to be astute. And you may need to be able to answer the question ‘But is he/it worth a damn?’

The originator of that question, But is he worth a damn? Tai Lopez looks for credentials, because they are easy to check. But when I go and check the truth value of the books he recommends, I find anything from 3% to 9%. and that is not worth a damn. Continue reading “How reliable is your judgment?
