Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

The fourth category of teachability

Quite a few of my students sent me a request to measure whether they are teachable, whether they are coachable.

And that is where I had an insight:

The reason the 67 steps coaching is so effective is this:

People make the changes, the tiny, near invisible changes in what they see, what they do, how they do it, because it is their choice. ¹

What does this mean?

When you make a change because you saw that you needed to, then that change can become permanent. It becomes part of who you are.

The Wise, the Foolish, and the Evil test

The personality test that tells you if you can grow, and if you can benefit from working with me.

I have been at my wits’ end for years now.

Today I found out what was missing…

Remember the wise saying: when something is not working, there is something you don’t know.

More often than not, what you don’t know is a distinction… and it was definitely true in my case.

I have been making the mistake of coaching and dealing with my people as if they were me… like me… similar to me.

On fools and wise people… the fool never learns…

“It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Do not mistake activity for achievement.”

I am old. And pretty much alone in the world. Not lonely. Alone.

How I do is entirely up to me. No support system, no cushion, flying without a net.

The notion has different effect on people. The effect is on their actions… or more precisely, on the attitude with which they take the actions.

Most people become cautious. Cautious means you divide your attention, you divide your power to do the action, and to look around. Ineffectiveness.

Never practice surgery on your family and other lessons

Developing the habit of looking before you leap

You have habits, thought patterns, beliefs, practices that guarantee that your life will not change, especially won’t change for the better.

When you do a course, read a book, or talk to a coach, you want to do and change the most important thing about your life: drop 30 pounds, start a new business, or leave your husband. Continue reading “Never practice surgery on your family and other lessons”

Awareness… it’s seeing what you are looking at. Accurately

I have been in this inquiry since February when I first heard Tai say: the strongest predictor of your success, in any area of life, is the level of your awareness.

So what is this awareness that is so important.

Nine months… it’s taken me till today to get complete clarity of what this ‘thing’ awareness is.

Six million Jews perished in the gas chambers and mass graves during the holocaust, because they were not aware.

Tens of millions of people were ashamed of themselves and their association with Germany, people who elected Hitler and the Nazi party… because they were not aware.

How to Learn Many Things at Once… very useful if you are in my coaching program

There’s so much you want to learn, need to learn, should learn… so much, in fact, that you don’t know where to start.

Most people get inspired for some goal, sprint at max effort for 1-2 weeks, burn out, push the goal into the back of their mind, and never touch it again. New Year’s resolutions are a classic example. Campaigning.

Let’s look at how to improve your chances of success.

First things first—check your bases.
The first thing you should do is touch base with yourself. Ask: “Is what I want what I want?”

Learn awareness, the strongest indicator of health, wealth, love, and happiness

Changeability, adaptability is the secret of living a consistently good life… but changeability and adaptability depend on awareness. As your awareness grows in the four pillars of the good life, so your success and the quality of your life…

By the way, did you notice I didn’t say “learn about awareness…” but that is what you read? Right?

In the old Forum program, the Forum Leader came in, screaming at us, poor unsuspecting brand new participants: For you Everything is the same as everything else … except not always.

It took me years to decipher that and see that it is true.

People who become worth a damn have stuff in common

What is in common, what is a shared characteristic among them? What does all people who are worth a damn do?

There is not much in common. It is not talent. It is not ethnicity. Not personality or schooling. Not religious affiliation.

The one common characteristic I have found is books. People who become worth a damn are readers.

Even more importantly than being a reader: the most important commonality is when they started to read.

Prostitution. Your base survival strategy…

I caught something today:

Prostitution. Your base survival strategy.

What is prostitution?

Let’s look at it without a dictionary, shall we?

Institution is building something that lasts, like a country.
Constitution is your base inclination, personality, body, temperament.
Substitution is using a different element to serve the same purpose.
Prostitution is to replace what is innately yours… with someone else’s interest.

Let me now check what the dictionary has to say about it?

The unworthy or corrupt use of one’s talents for the sake of personal or financial gain.

Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead…

Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead… While you are alive life is ups and downs, good feelings, bad feelings, neutral feelings.

The fact that you can’t feel your feelings doesn’t mean they aren’t there…

Yesterday was a weird day.

First I fell victim to taking things personally. I’d like to say it was funny, but taking things personally is not fun.

The whole day passed without a single email, and also without most of my regular clients and students visiting my site. I was checking. Continue reading “Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead…”
