How to detect lies… even your own…

lying spot a liarOne of the things I am starting to check if the person who wants to work with me, closely, is in the habit of lying or not.

So yesterday I told an applicant that she was a liar.

I muscletested it, and muscletest said she was a liar…

Turns out she wasn’t lying in that moment, yet she was a liar.

I muscletested it because I felt it. It felt like a disgust or stomach ache…

She considered the incident an invalidation of anything and everything I do, and left.

I am OK with that. It is still “cheaper” to have someone quit than have to do the uphill struggle to try to cause transformation to someone who is a liar. Even if the lies are not conscious. Mostly they aren’t.

67 days to a new you: health, money, relationship?

67stepsSometimes I wish I could force you to buy something I know you need, and I know you’ll really benefit from.

I have signed up to Tai Lopez 67 steps program. He says that research now says that it takes 67 days to establish a new way of being, a new take on life… That is why it lasts 67 days.

It will take me some time. Continue reading “67 days to a new you: health, money, relationship?”

An Atlantic article: What does ISIS really want?

1920What ISIS Really Wants

from the Atlantic

The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here’s what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.

What is the Islamic State?

Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State’s appeal. “We have not defeated the idea,” he said. “We do not even understand the idea.” In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as “not Islamic” and as al-Qaeda’s “jayvee team,” statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
