Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

Entitlement is a worldview? Really? Not an attitude?

Ernest Hemingway once wrote a story on a restaurant napkin In Key West, a story in six words.

‘For sale: baby shoes, never worn‘

He could have written about all humans, about my students… who are just like those baby shoes; unfulfilled dreams… unfulfilled potential.

I just finished my ‘Distinctions’ podcast call that today was all about entitlement.

The podcast is the recording of a weekly (Friday) conversation between a student of mine and myself. I designed it to go deep in some areas of life, an invisible dynamic…

Entitlement is invisible in ourselves… Continue reading “Entitlement is a worldview? Really? Not an attitude?”

Inventing a new you, a YOU you can become

Seeing what is missing

You think it is other people, circumstances that define your life. What if it is you? WHO you are, that does all of it. In that case you would want to be able create yourself, change yourself to be someone who can have a great life… wouldn’t you?

It is the hardest thing to see that what is missing is not outside. That it is inside. It is the idea of a way of being missing…

The whole distinction of a way of being is missing. Continue reading “Inventing a new you, a YOU you can become”

The Sight capacity and its many uses. What is there to see?

The Sight, obviously, is about seeing.

And unless you are blind or visually impaired, you think you see.

But you are simplifying the issue.

The expression: you don’t know that you don’t know it should be re-written to be more accurate: you don’t see what you don’t see. Continue reading “The Sight capacity and its many uses. What is there to see?”

What Are the Tools to Change Your Future?

I have been listening to a lot of old recordings, reading a lot of older articles.

I always had a direction in mind when I wrote those articles, when I had those webinars or calls.

One could say: I started out in New York, and I wanted to end up in Seattle. I didn’t know much about anything, but I knew one thing: If I always head West I’ll be near…

When you track your current path on the map you will notice that it has a trend. The exact way you can tell from a short section of rails the direction they are heading. If you told the truth where that path is heading, you would say that it is heading not where you want to go… So what is there to do to change your future?

The secret of life is to come alive, look alive, act alive

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

To learn to come alive… you need to come alive.

To lose your chains, your limitations, your bad habits… you need to play full out without them.

They are all imaginary. They are in language. YOUR language. They are not real chains.

To really learn what you need to learn you need to teach it… Teach it, not teach about it.

You can’t teach what you can’t do

Why do the 67 steps instead of just reading my articles?

Why do the 67 steps instead of just reading my articles, or whatever you hope will raise your vibration?

This is a question I always expect to get, but I have never actually gotten.

Why do the 67 steps inside a coaching program, instead of just ‘doing it’, or reading articles, watching youtube videos, or reading books, whatever seems to be interesting at the time? Continue reading “Why do the 67 steps instead of just reading my articles?”

The most important skill to master so your life will matter?

Mattering is a feeling. Nothing matters and everything matters.

But if you don’t feel your life matters, then you’ll live consistent with that…

Some mornings it is hard to write an article.

Ultimately, when I examine the possible causes, I find that I am scattered. My attention flits, and it is looking for more reasons to flit (flitting: Move quickly in an apparently random or purposeless manner).

I am sure you recognize yourself. Continue reading “The most important skill to master so your life will matter?”

What does it take to get lots of joy in your life?

Just the right amount of sleep!

That is what I say when I wake up with a light-clock… its light comes on at 3 am slowly, and by 4 am, between sleep cycles. I wake up and have a choice to get up or to sleep more.

Today I got up. But I was very sleepy. It felt like someone inside, not me, wanted desperately to sleep more. It’s been an hour now, and the ‘person inside’ is still whining, insisting that i go back to sleep. Continue reading “What does it take to get lots of joy in your life?”

If the who doesn’t change, nothing can change

This morning I opened an email from a dude who reads my emails, reads my articles, and says he resonates with what I say.

In his latest email he said that we should talk. That we are the world’s two smartest people… so we should talk. Continue reading “If the who doesn’t change, nothing can change”
