How is living like writing a book? Good writing is re-writing…

How is living like writing a book? Good writing is re-writing…

writers-gif2Let’s observe how you write… and then we’ll see how you live your life.

Most people first-draft-people… they never re-write. Others carefully craft the format, but don’t touch what they said… the content. And then others wait until they think they have something profound to say… and that is rarely.

All good writing is re-writing. Both writing literature and “writing”, crafting your life, your story. 1 If you are not willing to write badly you are not willing to write well either. And if you can’t see that your first draft is bad, you will never look at it again.

In this article I’ll focus on the category who is afraid to take actions that would re-write their life… they stick with the first draft.

Restore your Intrinsic Self as the captain of your ship

Restore your Intrinsic Self as the captain of your ship

learning-to-sailThe most important thing I never learned in Landmark Education… that allowed me to grow

In 1967 I applied to participate in a 6-day on site advanced program in Landmark Education… it was still called Werner Erhard and Associates at the time.

I was denied. The staff member for admittance told me: Until you learn the difference between thinking and doing, you can’t do the course.

The biggest stumbling block you have to growth that will fail you

The biggest stumbling block you have to growth that will fail you

Parents are not trained educators. They don’t allow you to be a child: they only care about themselves… not you, no matter how much they pretend, even to themselves. You, as a parent, are the same way…

You would be better off living in a children’s home where everyone is trained in personal growth.

Because parents are much like those fraudulent personal growth, get rich, get well and thin, “take a tablet and become forever young/pain free/etc.” marketers.

Why? I guess a stupid person cannot teach another to be smart.

What is smart? It is smart to Learn from Life. Life has been around, successfully, way longer than you and me.

Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is lying

Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is lying

discover-the-oceanWith some movies I ponder for years why I liked it.

One of these movies is The Princess Bride. Why do I love The Princess Bride? Why do I watch it a few times a year, especially when my energy level is low?

Because, for me, the movie is about persistence. It’s about working towards something remote and maybe even impossible, and yet…

There are a ton of amazing quotable sayings in that movie… here is one:

Buttercup: You mock my pain!
Man in Black: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

The quality of your life boils down to action and patterns

The quality of your life boils down to action and patterns

If nothing changes. the future is predictableThe current state of human intelligence… and I mean the overall intelligence, can be easily tracked on detective movies… British ones are more honest than American movies.

As you may know, I like to watch those… I learn from them as much as from any course, while I am entertained as well.

The quality of a person’s life, your life, boils down to actions… and each and every action is a result of a choice.

The accuracy of your actions is a function of how many patterns you recognize accurately in the world.

If nothing changes about you, your future is quite predictable… it is downhill from here…

You’ve Answered Some Tough Questions… But These Are Tougher Yet, Leading To An Examined Life

You’ve Answered Some Tough Questions… But These Are Tougher Yet, Leading To An Examined Life

tough-questions-figureThe feedback has been great on the tough questions. So here is another bunch.
Asking questions for the examined life… Great stuff.

    1. Do I listen to others? What do they have to say about that? Am I listening to how what they say fit? Am I listening to what they are up to this time? Am I listening if I agree or not? Am I really listening or just waiting for them to finish so I can speak?
    2. Do I pray only when I want something? Do I see people only when I need or what something? Do I think only of myself? Do I think of prayer as a food order at McDonald’s?

    More Tough Questions for Self-Examination. Promised Results? Awakening? Quickening?

    More Tough Questions for Self-Examination. Promised Results? Awakening? Quickening?

    questions-for-self

    1. Do I care about others? Do I pretend to care about others? Do I consider them human beings with the same rights as myself?
    2. Do I care what others think about me? Do I care too much what others think about me? Did I lose my sense of what I want because I care about what others think about me? Do others, in spite of me catering to what I think they want me to do, be, or have, ignore me, mistreat me, dump on me, criticize me?
    3. Do I complain? Sometimes? Or all the times? Do I think that if I complain enough life will change? People will change? I will change?

    More questions for self-reflection

    More questions for self-reflection

    toughquestions-orangeHere are more questions. Don’t do them as a quiz… Pick the question that feels the most confronting, the one that makes your belly dance… The purpose of the questions, the purpose of your “inquiry” is to know yourself, not to impress someone else!

      1. Do I share myself, my real self? Or do I withhold myself, protect myself, be aloof? When I do share: do I share to share, or do I share to complain, to get sympathy?
      2. Do I tweet posts, if I do, because I want to share them, because I am generous, or because I want to prove to someone that what I read about people fits them like a glove? I feel vindicated because I agree that they are creeps… lol, not that funny
      3. Do I care about others? Do I pretend to care about others? Do I consider them human beings with the same rights as myself? Or do I think that their feelings don’t really matter…?

      The Unexamined Life Begins With The Unwillingness To Ask Tough Questions… Do You Know How To Ask Tough Questions?

      asking questions is a sign of a good brain Here are 15 questions. They are not easy questions. It will take a little looking, a little pondering to answer them. Maybe even asking others… when the question asks for that.

      I have some 50 more where these came from… at a later date I’ll publish those too.

        1. Am I aware that someone always has it worse than me? Or do I keep my attention on what I don’t have? Can I turn this around?
        2. Am I cheap? As in “cheap bastard.” Who am I cheap with? Am I cheap with myself?

        Casting errors in movies and what you can learn from them for your life

        Casting errors in movies and what you can learn from them for your life

        my-left-footWhat is wrong with movies, TV series, that I can’t stomach… or barely?

        I am talking about good stories. I am talking about shows with good or passable actors, good directing… And yet the show is scarcely enjoyable because the character doesn’t fit. the inner world of the character is off… tells a different story.

        Like the serial killer in The Fall… more about it later.
