How to change your view of life so you can change your life

What you see is what gives you your attitude and your actions in life.

So if we can change what you see, we can help you change your life.

I love the analogy of the winding mountain pass where an unsuspecting motorist happens onto a car wreck in the middle of the two-lane road.

His options are to

drive into the solid rock on the left,
into the abyss on the right,
into the wreck in the middle… or to
slow down and drive around the wreck. Slowly.

Got a monkey on your back? What monkey? Monkey!?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

You say you don’t have a monkey on your back? If that were so, then you would be one in a billion:

We all have a monkey on our back… one monkey or more. It’s a humanity wide issue… more on that in another article…

In this idiom the monkey is a problem that has been difficult to get rid of or to solve with the tools you have… with the mindset you have… It definitely feels like an uncatchable ball.

The monkey is often invisible to you, and unless someone else looks for it observing you, or you accidentally stumble on it, that monkey is influencing you in everything in life. Continue reading “Got a monkey on your back? What monkey? Monkey!?”

One model for a satisfying life is the battery.

If you suck the last little bit of energy out of your battery and then charge it, next day it will give you a little more…

This is not true for all types of batteries… but, it is true for most people…

If you suck the energy out of the battery sparingly, if you are more worried about the battery than about building something with its energy… at the end of the day energy is left in the battery. Continue reading “One model for a satisfying life is the battery.”

Life is counter-intuitive to the human mind

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

People who make mistakes, people who show weaknesses are easier to love.

I know this will hit you as ‘no, it’s impossible! I have to be perfect to be lovable‘, but it’s just not so.

Perfection isn’t relatable, achievable or real and it’s downright boring! What makes us so real and unique are our flaws. It’s how we’ve worked through that gives others hope! (from Facebook)

Perfection is boring. And your perfection, or your smarts, or your beauty makes other people uncomfortable. Continue reading “Life is counter-intuitive to the human mind”

For men are good in but one way, but bad in many

If you are like most of the people that visit my site, you came here in search of the best way to get what you want.

Healing yourself, feeling better about yourself and your life. Making money, finding love, or raising your vibration. Or maybe even becoming an Expanding Human Being.

And you, like myself, probably cannot tell one system from another.

good from bad,
effective from ineffective,
efficient from inefficient,
real or a fraudulent… we have no criteria by which to judge.

Enlighten yourself… as often as you can

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In a recent webinar the idea came up that…

…you want to look at your shortcomings, gaffes, and mistakes with kind eyes.

We all have those. Not the kind eyes, but the mistakes. The shortcomings. But depending on your attitude towards them they can mean that you are no good. they can mean that you need to explain, apologize, lie, attack, avoid responsibility. or they can mean that you made a blunder… no big deal. Continue reading “Enlighten yourself… as often as you can”

How the culture trains you to be a non-achiever…

It seems like I have hit a nerve: yesterday’s article was read by more people than any of my other articles in a long time…

If you are not achieving, if you are not accomplishing much in life: you are not alone.

And it’s not your fault. But even though it is not your fault, if you wanted to change it… you could. with the right guidance and the right actions. Continue reading “How the culture trains you to be a non-achiever…”

Your vibration and your worldview. What do you expect?

Your vibration and your worldview… are you expecting to raise your vibration without changing your worldview?

I wrote this article eight years ago. It is good, but it still misses the mark. It misses the mark in seeing what is at the root level of humanity’s misery.

It is true that humanity can’t see people, can’t see persons, can’t see you as a person. Not even themselves.

But that is not the root level issue. Continue reading “Your vibration and your worldview. What do you expect?”

Unless you can play and play a lot you can’t grow.

Unless you can play and do play you can’t grow.

What’s the difference between your regular life and play?

And is the wild competition of let’s say football… is that play?

Surprisingly what adults call play isn’t… It is just extending their serious competitiveness, their inclination to get status and deferred value by winning over another.

Real play is not about winning. Continue reading “Unless you can play and play a lot you can’t grow.”

There are many many ways to play the game of Life

I experiment with some myself… so in addition to observing others, I also get additional data. Like how Life responds to the different ways. Continue reading “There are many many ways to play the game of Life”
