Let me start with a joke:
How to have a million dollars in business? Start with two million
How do you make a million dollars in the restaurant business? Start with two million
This is the joke that is making the circles in my brain when I think about how to have clients who have ambition, motive power, and actually accomplish stuff? Continue reading “Can you grow? Grow curiosity, intelligence, motivation?”

Are you one who has asked me to adjust your baby-genes?
I get up in the morning and I have no idea what I am going to write about. None.
Sometimes my dreams hint, vaguely, what is maybe a direction, but dreams are clear as you see them, vague from the moment you open your eyes and reality seeps in and takes over.
I could go and see what I must write about, what I wrote about yesterday, but I am resistant to have-to’s, so I don’t…
I can see that lately I am not connecting to my readers… But I don’t know what exactly I am saying that has the power for people to say ‘nah, don’t want to read’ add frown, wrinkled nose, sign of disgust. Yours.
So this is where we are… So hell yeah, I don’t want to say what I should say, teach you, give you, lead you to the promised land… Obviously that is not what you want.
But what do you want? Add chuckling… Mine this time.
So I go to my trusty finger-on-the-pulse ‘thermometer’ called Reddit, to look and see.
Dude/dudette post a hand that is very wrinkled after washing the dishes for 20 minutes.

Most people, 99% of the time, are stuck on the systemic judgment level… where everything has an opposite, and it is either one or the other.
Binary thinking. What is Binary Thinking? Binary thinking, also known as dichotomous thinking, happens when even complex concepts, ideas, and problems are overly simplified into being one side or another. The gray area in the middle is ignored or goes unnoticed. Binary thinking helps us feel a sense of certainty.
Another way of looking: reality is 3d… Your thinking is binary… No match. No astuteness. No correct actions possible. Continue reading “Are you stuck on the binary level of thinking? Let’s look”
Remembering the Future…This methodology is revolutionary… but let’s not get ahead of ourselves…
What future? What remembering? What can it do? What is self-trust? Is it the same as self-esteem?

Nature is weird.
Osmosis is a process in which molecules of a solvent, like water, tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
It is a lot like entrainment, at least in appearance… Continue reading “The Bottomless Pit that Greed is and entrainment”

I like challenge.
I believe that only failures, only mistakes teach me anything, so I make sure I set my life up, I set my business up to have a steady stream of failures.

Tai Lopez uses an analogy that really talks to me. He says that we need to be like a soup. Our knowledge, our lives needs to be like good soup.
What does it mean to be a good soup?
You can’t make a good soup with just a few ingredients. You need a lot of ingredients to make a soup that you don’t have to make edible by crumbling crackers into it, or bread.
Some poor man’s soups, onion soup, garlic soup, ‘rue’soup in Hungary, are so uninteresting that you can’t eat it without putting bread in them. The versions with poached egg, cheese melted on top, etc. are the restaurant versions of the same soups… but the soup itself is a poor man’s soup. Poor as in not having much to give. Continue reading “How to become whole and complete? Like good soup…”

Capacities, distinctions, intelligence, and success in life: there is a strong correlation. The Stone Soup fairy tale is an excellent teaching story.
Let’s start with debunking the current worldview, that intelligence is inborn. We are all born tabula raza… a blank slate.
Your intelligence depends on the number of large chunks, neural connections permanently formed in your brain firing together automatically. Those chunks are created in learning. Not learning about… no, actual learning a skill to unconscious competence. Driving a vehicle is unconscious competence for most. Reading and comprehending? not so much. Continue reading “Stone Soup: the fairy tale. Case studies galore”

Experiencing pain? emotional? physical? Where does pain come from?
Most people cannot properly, accurately identify what they feel inside. On one hand self awareness is low, on the other knowing what the inner dynamics are is not taught in any school, or by any ‘guru’.
Given that it is not taught, you’ll have a hard time, I guess, to accept that all pain is the result of resistance… emotional, physical… all pain.
But what about fear?
Fear, what you call fear, is resistance. No matter what name you call it, anxiety, worry, it is still resistance and it causes pain.
This article was inspired by two things, maybe three? Continue reading “The secret to 10x your life in spite of fear”

I bet not many people understand fully the Einstein saying: no problem can be solved on the level of thinking that created it. You feel inadequate… don’t you?
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Are those two statements the same? I don’t think so. Did Einstein say either? I don’t know. But let’s look at both, shall we?
Both deal with something that we have very little idea what they mean: thinking and consciousness.
Consciousness is easier to write about, because we can be sure that no one knows what it means, so anything goes. Continue reading “Being ‘inadequate’ is a feeling… not the truth.”
