What is ‘Seeing the Big Picture’? And how do you see it?

OK, this is a biiiig topic… and the article is like a dip into the sea… but read it… it’s going to teach you something you need.

I don’t think I have ever truly distinguished what seeing the big picture is and what it isn’t.

I’ve read somewhere that this woman advocated doing what she is doing. She starts the day solving some algebra problems.

I mostly start my day with playing Freecell… while I am drinking very bitter black tea that I don’t like the taste of. Continue reading “What is ‘Seeing the Big Picture’? And how do you see it?”

Success as the destination causes a failed life

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In fact, it is not just success, but any supposedly positive outcome. When it is the focus, when it is the destination, it will cause a failed life. As certainly as that the sun will come up in the morning.

I have a student who wants to be worthy.

The question to ask: why? Why would you want to be worthy?

All your wants are fueled by a desire to fix.

It is human nature, it is not personal. What is personal is what you want to fix… not the desire to fix. The desire to fix is universal. Continue reading “Success as the destination causes a failed life”

How I use the energy that I download during the Days of Power

After I moved out of my parents’ home into my own place, I met this guy who became my boy friend. My very first boy friend.

He was a philosophy student, son of a well known philosopher.

I didn’t understand a word they were speaking. When I typed up his thesis I bastardized some of the words, because I had no idea they weren’t typos. They didn’t look like regular words.

Here I am 53 years later. If you asked me what profession I have, I would say that I am closest to being a philosopher. Boggles the mind. Doesn’t it? lol Continue reading “Epigenetics… the path of human evolution or devolution”

Mental Bandwidth and what to do to increase it

If you ordered a large pizza but you had to share it with everyone in your neighborhood, then even after ordering a hundred of those, you would barely get a slice, right? Some teenagers can eat half of a large pizza themselves, so unless you protect your pizza, you’ll remain hungry.

If an internet company sells you service, but they have all their thousands of customers want to watch a movie, you’ll get a spotty connection and miss half the movie.

That is bandwidth… it is limited and the more people use it, the less remains for you. Continue reading “The Masterskill… the secret nearly everyone misses”

So I guess it is that time again… when the broken faced child comes out of the woodwork…

I use this expression ‘broken face child’ as if I expected you to know what I am talking about… You probably don’t.

So let me explain: When you were little, things happened to you that were beyond your comprehension. You had to make up some story,some interpretation of what was happening. It is normal.

The ‘normal’ story everyone makes up is this: ‘There is something wrong here. Either with me, or with them, or with the world, that’s why this is happening.’

Most of us made up: ‘There is something wrong with me.’ Continue reading “If you don’t manage yourself, someone, something else will”

Permission to be the way you are, warts and all

Only when you have permission to be how you are, who you are, where you are, that you have permission to grow.

If you don’t, it you should be more, better, or different, then you can’t grow… because your starting point is that A should not be A…

In this work we attempt to change our genes so we can become all we can become.

I read this quote in an email today.

‘I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.‘ — Georgia O’Keeffe. Continue reading “Permission to be the way you are, warts and all”

Do you need passion to love your work? Purpose? Maybe the right work?

What is the truth about that?

One of my former students sent me an email today. He is a former student, because I could not get him to achieve any results whatsoever.

But he has sent me valuable information before, so I read the email. Continue reading “Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?”

So I watched this Walter Presents French cop series on Amazon Prime.

In one episode they have a serial killer. The killer must be part of a traveling circus, because every killing happened while the circus was in town.

So they go to the circus ground… and question the owner. And while they do that the son of the owner shows up, stammering his proud confession that he did it.

When they do a search the cops find that the boy, now a man, was kidnapped and made the owner’s son… but he was a disappointment to the circus…

So the cops contact his birth mother and arrange a phone call between mother and son. The birth mother says: ‘I found you after 20 years. I love you no matter what you have done.‘ Continue reading “Help! I have been a loser! Can you help? Please?”
