We need to cut our coat according to our cloth

We need to cut our coat according to our cloth

is your integrity so low? Why, when you say ‘I’ll do that‘ it is almost 100% certain that you won’t? Boggles the mind doesn’t it?

It boggles the mind even though it is natural.

This is just one unnatural thing, to always expect do what you said ‘I’ll do‘ fast, preferably instantly and with lovely attitude. Continue reading “We need to cut our coat according to our cloth”

Is my life an exercise in… what? … futility?

Is my life an exercise in… what? … futility?

Yesterday’s article fell flat on its face… as it was predictable in view of my almost 40 year experience.

If I started again from where YOU are, no distinctions, I would print out the ‘koan’ I heard many times from Forum Leaders:

For you everything is the same as everything else… except that not always.

Starting something new, especially if you need the results

Starting something new, especially if you need the results

Starting something new, especially if you need the results is an arduous process. Whether what you start is in health, wealth, love or fulfillment… the process is the same. Difficult.

Because the process requires several spiritual capacities, and abilities that most people don’t have.

I am going to assume that you already have some capacities…

you are Continue reading “Starting something new, especially if you need the results”

Finally I decided to end hope and start a side-hustle

Finally I decided to end hope and start a side-hustle

Finally I decided to end hope and start a side-hustle… or why you aren’t growing.

My favorite part of the book, The Science of Getting Rich isĀ  where he says: Start where you are.

Most people do their life half-assed, build half-assed projects, hoping that doing that they can have what they want: success, love, fulfillment… but that is not the way to go. Continue reading “Finally I decided to end hope and start a side-hustle”

It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game

It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game

Millions of pages quote this meme, but everybody understand it differently. Because we, culturally defined humans, we have no idea what is the game, and how we play it. No clue what to pay attention and what is relevant to the how.

No distinction.

The dude who coined the meme, Grantland Rice was a sports writer. He made more money that the people he wrote about. Was he happy? Was he fulfilled? Hell no. Couldn’t be… Continue reading “It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game”

What makes something worthwhile to do, put energy into?

What makes something worthwhile to do, put energy into?

I learn a lot from some people, and next to nothing from others.

This teacher I have, a teacher whom I don’t like as a person has taught me more than maybe all the other teachers combined with just a sentence here and a sentence there.

Why? Because he doesn’t teach anything that he doesn’t personally need, uses, and find useful.

It is hard to imagine why I’d like to follow someone’s example, a person’s whom I don’t like, but there we are: I am following his example in many different ways. Continue reading “What makes something worthwhile to do, put energy into?”

It’s not your fault. No one has taught you this…

It’s not your fault. No one has taught you this…

So let’s agree on what we’ll call ‘powerful’ in this article, shall we?

Power is measured with the speed at which we take a thing from A to B. To make things happen.

Most of us don’t take many things from A to B… So we pretend that we do. We lie about it. And we pretend to be faster than we are… while we are doing none of the ‘taking a thing from A to B’. We talk. We look busy. And we do busy-body-ing… advising others, lording over others. Continue reading “It’s not your fault. No one has taught you this…”

Why the eight billion is skill-less… Likely you too.

Why the eight billion is skill-less… Likely you too.

This article, in a way, will be the continuation of yesterday’s article.

Instead of how to play the wrong game, I suggest that you spend some time deciding what game to play.

But you can’t, if you are fixated on some imaginary result that is, in essence, a pie in the sky. Continue reading “Why the eight billion is skill-less… Likely you too.”

What brings something out of the invisible?

What brings something out of the invisible?

What brings something out of the invisible? So you can see it. So you can stop it if it doesn’t work. Or have more of it if it does…

I have started to watch movies again, on Amazon Prime. Not Netflix? Not Netflix.

Anyway, yesterday I watched two Jesse Stone movies with Tom Selleck. Continue reading “What brings something out of the invisible?”

The secret of happy producers… NOT what you expect

The secret of happy producers… NOT what you expect

The secret of happy producers… NOT what time they get up in the morning, or how many books they read…

My students, like popcorn, are starting to pop at the same time. It is hard to say what made each pop… especially if your vocabulary (the number of distinction) is not keeping up with the richness of the invisible reality. Continue reading “The secret of happy producers… NOT what you expect”
