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.

Day Three of my Complete Fast… a new vantage point

Day Three of my Complete Fast… a new vantage point

Day 3. Truth be told, it will be truly day three once the clock hits noon, but I’ll consider this day 3.

Certain things are becoming clearer to me.

The difference between hunger and all the other reasons we eat.

Hunger says, it seems to me, I NEED food. But obviously the body is not the smartest thing, because most people can fast for weeks, and they are not hungry. Hungry for the first two, maybe three days, and then not hungry. Continue reading “Day Three of my Complete Fast… a new vantage point”

What the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teaches you

What the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teaches you

What can the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teach you? OR What did Frank Kern learn the hard way?

First, before I get into the story itself, let’s ponder the meaning of teaching so we are on the same page, OK?

As someone who attempts to teach, let me tell you what it’s like for me. I find a thousand different ways to say, demonstrate, frame what I want to teach. And I invent thousand and one stories. I find books that hint on what I want to teach. Often I sing it, I make it a comedy, make it a tragedy. And I make you read. I make you practice activating your eye muscles and the related brain areas… Continue reading “What the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teaches you”

The secret of fulfillment. A secret because it’s hidden

The secret of fulfillment. A secret because it’s hidden

It was my birthday yesterday. It was also Labor Day.

There are lots of theories about what’s the purpose of life. But ultimately, it seems to me, that without working and working in a way that you feel useful, and used rightly, you don’t feel that you are here for some purpose.

And yet, in this declining epoch people don’t work, or don’t work in a way where it causes satisfaction and fulfillment for themselves. Continue reading “The secret of fulfillment. A secret because it’s hidden”

The ‘hidden’ attitude that eats your lunch. And leaves you clueless as if to what happened

Yesterday I was on a group coaching call where people had a chance to get on the ‘hot seat’, meaning they could lay out their issue and get coaching.

So you want to live long… let’s look at that, OK?

So you want to live long… let’s look at that, OK?

Let’s get some clarity, shall we?

On longevity, or life expectancy…

There are all kinds of theories and hypotheses about the life expectancy of humans.

What do we know?

  • We know that some people, in spite of eating everything, in spite of smoking, drinking, they live a long life.
  • Others, in spite of every effort, they die when they die.
Most of the longevity theories are designed to fleece you.

Good or bad things equally. Often when you stop…

    • My chiropractor has been unavailable Tuesday mornings for almost a month. By now I am hurting. I spent two hours last night trying to get comfortable before I could fall asleep.

I would have never know how much I needed regular adjustments without taking a long break.

Going there every week, kind of poo-pooing the individual experiences is what it’s taken me to become virtually pain free. I shared it with the chiropractor, because I thought that it is a good idea for his marketing: after all most people do not go to chiropractors, because they can’t even imagine that it can help… or they go when they are really broken.

A few years ago…
