Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
There is a controversial saying by Charlie Munger, who said: to get what you want, you need to deserve what you want.
This is controversial, because the verb, deserve, is bastardized in our culture. What he should have said:

Confidence: firm trust, a sense of self, appreciation someone’s proven track record
If you look up the word in the dictionary, that is not what you find.
All dictionaries are now in step with the tendency to make words vague, not matching the reality… this word is a crucial word in your vocabulary. Unless you get this right, your chances of having a self, and thus the chance for self-confidence are between zero and none.
No one takes my Starting Point Measurements seriously. How do I know? Because I have literally haven’t had anyone ask clarifying questions about certain key concepts that will make or break you… Not even one.
For example, no one has asked me what is awareness really? Or what is trust? Or goodness… etc. Continue reading “Everyone wants to be self-confident why? how? What you need?”
70% of your life is made up of the things you do every day… your habits. The remaining 30% is what you don’t have control over.But even that 30%, where you don’t have control over what happens: you have control over how you react, how you do what you end up doing, and what is your attitude. My next article is about that… the how of your life.
Most programs you can buy make up what to teach. Given that the average truth value of programs is around 2%, what they teach must come untried, untested, and altogether not true.
Tai’s approach (Tai Lopez, 67 steps) was different. He looked at, primarily, billionaires, secondarily at famous scientists or other authors.
The truths he gleaned from billionaires: 30% truth value, the truths he gleaned from authors: 10% truth value. Hm, interesting.
Where does the difference come from? Continue reading “You want a better life? Want to avoid a life of quiet desperation? Resignation? Here is your path…”
…then your most important concern should be: how can I can more adaptable … right?
In you our relationship to life so you can have more chance for a happy life.
One can also say that it is true not just for a species but also for individuals.
Adaptable doesn’t mean meek, doesn’t mean able to subsist in suboptimal circumstances, it actually means being able to thrive no matter what’s going on. Adapt and initiate. Continue reading “If adaptability is the most fundamental predictor…”
I have been holding off on delivering the promised READING class… Why?
There are so many factors that control how much you can do with the instructions I give you, that it is hard to know what I can teach to make a difference…
When you read my articles, when you listen to me (or to anyone else, by the way!) you think that you got 100%, and you maybe even think that you are smarter than me… OK, it’s not a maybe. You think you are smarter than me. And that you know everything. 1
From your questions, from your requests.
Here is what you do that gives it away:
You ask me to muscletest things… but never ask me a question that would bring some clarity into your thinking. What got you where you are is the quality of your knowledge, the quality of your thinking. All within your power… but you accept and ask for no input from me… because, you know, she is just an empath, a tool.

What takes care of you… that you can take care of?
I have told you how enamored I am with the principle “take care of what takes care of you.” 2
What I don’t elaborate about in that article, is how do you know if something takes care of you or not. How do you know if you CAN take care of something or not?

Fear…
What is in your way of getting to abundance, to a life worth living? 3
People, normally, want some miracle potion, lotion, energy treatment, belief erasure, mind movies, vision boards, and many other things that they hope will give them abundance.
Or they are waiting to feel like doing something, maybe courage?

Yesterday I had a conversation where I had a number of opportunities to see how and what way your unclarity, your vocabulary, shows up, not as a theory, but as a reality.
How it prevents you from seeing reality, or hearing what is being said.
It was somewhat new to me, so if it was new to me, it will be really new to you.

Out of integrity, lying, coveting, envy, vengeance, hate can be compared to indigestion
Lying etc. is like indigestion.
In indigestion you give the body something to eat that the body cannot use as food. Either because it is not really food, or because it is beyond the body’s ability to use it all as food.
The body makes you feel discomfort. Surprisingly this discomfort feels a lot like hunger. Exactly the opposite of what would work… I think it is our interpretation of the signal that is at fault. We seem to interpret everything as a signal to eat, to consume, to get more and more and more. Of everything.
And this is where the similarity shines most.
When you lie, betray, cheat, harm, etc. and you know that you do, you need to pile up the sh*t… you need to lie more, betray more, cheat more, harm more.
All in a misdirected effort to get away with it. Continue reading “Why you don’t love yourself”
Your Language, the words you use… how many of your words are accurate as in: I actually know, personally what the word means will define to what degree you have to pretend in life.
The more you pretend the less you can love yourself, and the less you love your life.
Almost everything that matters in life is in the invisible domain. Really. All that is visible doesn’t matter much if what is in the invisible is lacking or bad.
You can be married to the most magnificent person, for example, but if you don’t love them… meh, at best, horrid in most predictable.
