… and unless you feel you are growing, you are not happy… The most powerful mood-remedy is growth.
Yesterday I lead my evergreen workshop, What’s the Truth About you.
It was exhausting for me. I got a lot of thank yous.
Here is a little story about truth:
According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: Continue reading “Whenever you are not growing, you are dying…”

If you ever decided that you wanted to live your life in a particular way, successful, joyful, productive, fulfilling, you would want to CHOOSE a worldview, a worldview that COULD create the perfect foundation for that type of life, the life of your choosing.
But you never decided… and you never chose. You have a worldview, or maybe a worldview has you…
Worldview is a particular interpretation of life, of creation, of power, of choice, of freedom. Of other people, of nature. Of what is important and what isn’t. Of what is agreed upon and what isn’t.
Depending on the worldview, only certain actions and certain things can be present. It’s like a stage in a play: you can’t put there stuff that doesn’t belong. That doesn’t have a role… On the stage, if there is a gun there, you can be sure it will be used during the story. I read that somewhere about Chekhov’s plays… Continue reading “Worldview: are you trying to build a life on misery?”

Inspiration… inspired… inspirable…
What do these words mean?
I measure how much the spirit is active within you… and how much, on the current vibrational level, the current integrity level, the current about-me level, the spirit can be aroused.
You cannot be more inspiring that you can be inspired.
The number one communication tool you have available, creating a vision in another person, about themselves, about a project, about the future.
When you can create a vision and communicate it to yourself or to another, all upsets disappear, and you have the amazing result: the person (you?) wants to do what is consistent with that vision… which is what you would want them to do.

The story behind the story, behind the story, behind the story…
The invisible parts of the story is also a story.
A story can be just the telling of what happened and all the thoughts, emotions, interpretions the teller of the story added.
The tricky thing is to see all the stories… and then see what actually happened in reality separate from what you made up about it.
In digging for the itch, the need that wasn’t provided in an incident, that was deliberately taken away, and now running our lives, we experienced this layeredness of the story…
Everybody’s, including my own. Continue reading “The story behind the story… behind the story…”

I sleep poorly the night before every Playground session. It takes me hours to fall asleep, and I have trouble-filled dreams.
So when I got up this past Saturday, it was freezing cold, in the single digits outside… single digits in Fahrenheit is very cold… double digits in the minus in Celsius.
So I pondered what I had to look forward that day. Continue reading “Define what is success for you, to become successful”

So you want to be important… liked… relevant… belonging.
This issue is coming to the forefront… This expectation of be made important, liked, relevant, belonging by other people, or by some job, of by association, or by some success.
Or to be liked by behaving in a certain way, be liked by other people because of something you do or don’t do.
It is an aspect of being an effect… not a cause. Little explored by anyone.

“I have always felt if you know what you’re going to do in advance, then you won’t do it,” he says in the video, promoting his (Frank Gehry) tutorial series for the Masterclass online learning provider. “Your creativity starts with whether you’re curious or not.”
It says two things…
1. You won’t do it, if you built an imaginary future with all its glory in your mind, then your desire number is too high, while your ambition number is too low. Continue reading “What you dream about you can bring about or not”
Once you conquer a “boulder”, a challenging character flaw, a new one takes its place. But what is in common in all the flaws is the seed level.
What is the seed level of all the stuff that can make you miserable? Sorry, all the stuff that makes you miserable?
So far I have found two that every person has:
1. As far as I can see it, it is a mindset nearly all humans share: that life, things should be different. That what they think should be is what should be.
They place themselves above reality, above nature, above physics, above maybe even above their gods.

You can’t fix being human
..that is one of the disappointing things you learn when you do work with me. I won’t feed you baloney like “you are a spiritual being having a human experience…” and other garden variety horse manure.
The other half-sentence is just as disappointing: “you can’t get out of this life alive…”
These two half-sentences address 70% of the popular delusions of humanity.
When you internalize these truly, when you start to be energized by them then your vibration will jump 50 points or more. Continue reading “You can’t fix being human… you can’t get out of life alive”
