Will you allow the learning to change who you are?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This is NOT a funny article… And actually I struggled mightily writing it… because it talks about something I have never been able to teach… Your beingness.

I am reading a book for the third time in a month. And I will read it again and again until I become who I want to become.

Some people read the words in a book. I read the spirit. I align my whole inside with it… if it is worth it.

And if it is worth it: it won’t happen at the first reading, the second reading, and probably NOT at the third reading either. So I read it until it happens.

The two reasons to read it are:

  • 1. to allow the material to change you, to change who you are…
  • 2. all the other reasons people read for…

Mistakes

As you may have heard me say: I used to be a wild child. I did things, looking back, I feel uncomfortable looking at. Did things that were clearly a sign that I was not the captain of my ship. Of being in the drift, being a beach ball blown this way and that by the wind.

And, of course, I created consequences that were less than ideal. Continue reading “What you chose and what you didn’t… The secret of choice”

If You Don’t Have A Stop-Doing List you are unproductive

A decade or two ago I heard about a productivity course that some people produced great increase with.

In that course the most important element was the ‘list’, or in the case of that course, the folder that was called ‘stop doing’…

One of the things the Reality Challenge drives up and makes visible, that we think everything is important. That if you can think it then you should do it.

The saying: ‘if you can imagine it you can have it‘ may be true or not… but just because you think of something it doesn’t have to become a task. Continue reading “If You Don’t Have A Stop-Doing List you are unproductive”

We and energies. We and love. We and a life you can love

As I wrote in yesterday’s article, we is not part of human culture.

In my interaction with clients I am starting to distinguish that there are two dimensions of ‘we’, just like there are two dimensions of ‘love’.

We all want to be included, we all want to be loved. That is the one side, the one dimension of either.

The other dimensions is us including, us loving. The level of that, in the current humanity, is 0%. In the 1000, it is 30%. My level is 70%.

Does wanting to give, giving, making a difference count on that level? Continue reading “We and energies. We and love. We and a life you can love”

What I learned from a 5000 page fantasy saga…

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I just finished reading a five thousand page fantasy saga… in five volumes. On the Kindle…

And it was the second this long book by David Estes.

I enjoy reading fiction. But one of the most rewarding things about reading is the ‘Easter Eggs’… hidden treasures…

Most of these treasures are the author’s gifts, but given what I do for a living, my Easter Eggs are the ones I find and probably no one else… maybe not even the author.

If that made no sense, please forgive me…

All I am trying to say is that I find answers to my questions in almost all the books I read. Continue reading “What I learned from a 5000 page fantasy saga…”

If your practicing doesn’t increase anything…

Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

The most important insights I am getting through this virus attack disaster on my sites have nothing to do with my sites.

What I am getting is probably way more important for everyone.

When you are too busy with something that occupies all your attention all the time… then creativity, inspiration, self-awareness… all the things that are vital to having a good life, being powerful, being the captain, are suffering.

You can’t put all your power into the thing you are doing, because every crew member, every thought, every urge wants to take you out of that one thing. Continue reading “If your practicing doesn’t increase anything…”

Why aren’t you the captain of your ship? How could you be?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download


Or how to go from drifting to achieving…

In this article I am going to give you the secret. The secret to success. The secret to a good life. And you probably won’t hear it… and ignore it.

How do I know? I have been doing it long enough that I finally distilled the secret down to the one issue that if it is there, you cannot be successful. AND you can’t hear me. The two are connected. Continue reading “Why aren’t you the captain of your ship? How could you be?”

What does your laughter mean? What does your laughter do?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download


There are two kinds of laughter. Depending on what predominates, you are a happy person or an unhappy person. You have peace or you have turbulence.

The two kinds of laughs are
  1. derisive laugh = Mocking; jeering.
  2. benevolent laugh: the laughter of recognition

There is always a price. We are looking at laughter by the criterion: who pays the price.
