How to stop thinking while listening?
If you ever asked yourself a different question: how do I become less reactive? You would have gotten a better answer asking the question in the title.
Whaaat? Yeah.
But how? But why?
Let’s first look at what it takes to stop ‘thinking’ while listening. Continue reading “How to stop thinking while listening? And actually hear…”

One of the hardest things I have ever encountered is hard because of my weakness of mental representation.
I do have the capacity open, but I have never used it consciously. I have been looking at myself as if the only path to any place is the path of the bumbling idiot, the meandering path. The path I’ve always taken. I even bragged about it… ugh.
And no matter how many courses, workshops, programs, I have done before, it has taken three decades to where I am now. Continue reading “Why isn’t Gordon Ramsey’s Pad Thai a Pad Thai?”

Huge learning today. In this article I’ll take you through two ways to see why you can’t learn, don’t learn, and won’t learn, unless… and I am not talking about information, learning about, I am talking about learning to do…
The world is changing rapidly… and unless YOU change, you’ll be a casualty.
To change when the world changes you need to learn a lot of new stuff… and unlearn just as many. So the fittest that will survive is the one who can and willing to learn. Continue reading “Why can’t you, why don’t you learn… ever”

If you want to go from zero to money, for example, fast, you’ll never do what it takes to make money.
But why? Why would you not do what it takes?
Almost any good why question takes you to an invisible dynamic, more often than not the invisible dynamic of the backroom dealings of an innocent looking deli.
In the front honest business is conducted, while in the back room anything goes.
You suspect it right: it is a Mafia type of business. And you are the mafioso. Continue reading “If you can’t appreciate slow… you will never get anywhere”

Don’t be mistaken. The only way to feel good about yourself, to have a life you love and a life you live powerfully is by being a producer.
The secret of producers lies in the invisible dimension. The dimension that is invisible to both to you and them. They do something differently (not different, differently!) from you… and they don’t even know it. I am an empath… and I feel what you do, and I feel what they do… I feel your how…
One area where the two how’s are strikingly different is your self-image. This is crucial… by the way. So please pay attention.

My soul correction (Forget Thyself) is hasty. Jumping in, and making mistakes, getting in a mess, scrambling to get out.
Nowadays that we are hunting for the should shouldn’t spouting little voice, I am forced to realize that for me it is not words… it is a push. Or is it a pull?
I am also seeing that many of may I hate that come from that push
So let’s hunt for some hates… and let’s see if this is personal to me, or across the field. Please, I will need your feedback.
There are a few things I can’t tolerate, would not tolerate. Continue reading “How you can go from being a rough diamond to finely cut gem”

What if we are not mice that make a mess while the cat is elsewhere… What if it is in our best interest to consider that the Creator is watching us… and doing what he intended for us to do, without grumbling, willingly, and with joy?
What if liberty to do whatever you want to do is not just stupid but also what makes you miserable… because the smart way to live is by the design the Creator created for us? And that is not liberty… it is living by design.
What if the order of things is… Continue reading “What if integrity is living like the Creator intended?”

This dog story illustrates something profound and new in this article: motive power.
This story is about two dogs.
The female is Missy. The other a male, Jojo.
Missy is a medium-sized… I am not good at dog breeds. She is friendly, reserved and weighs 15 pounds.
Now, Jojo, the male, is a real character. He’s a dachshund. Jet-Black/yellow in color, and weighs just 7 pounds.
Guess who’s the boss in this relationship?
Well, it ain’t Missy.
Jojo is only 7 pounds, but his small stature doesn’t inhibit him in any way.
He strides right up to the biggest dogs ( including Pit Bulls ) and extends a friendly greeting. Continue reading “A cool dog story or what the heck is motive power?”
History repeats itself because we paid no attention the first time… or how to learn from your mistakesSidenote: If you are a Generator or Manifesting Generator, an appropriate action is to respond. The initiator of an response can be an article, an email, that gives you something to respond to. The operative word is “it gives you something to answer to, respond to”… It is not your idea, that was born in the recesses of your mind, or in some inclination, passion, addiction, or desire. It was given to you. If you pay attention, all the stupid things you do are your own fabulous ideas… 🙁
This idea was given to me to respond to by today’s Monday Morning Memo. Continue reading “History repeats itself. how to learn from your mistakes”
I am sitting here. In a few hours I have a brainstorming call with a student of mine, who is, who has been, who is proving to be impossible to train… and I am scared and angry.
This article is the process in which I change my context for the call, so I can make a difference… or not… Inside the current context all I can do is yell… Not what I want my life to be. So, here we go…
Or said in another way: are you the solution or are you the problem?
As a little boy or as a little girl, you made some decisions about yourself, what it is that you were supposed to get, how to get what you want. Continue reading “Are you the solution or are you the problem?”
