Never practice surgery on your family and other lessons
662311125cd60dbfa86171ea8e68a6b3Developing the habit of looking before you leap

You have habits, thought patterns, beliefs, practices that guarantee that your life will not change, especially won’t change for the better.

When you do a course, read a book, or talk to a coach, you want to do and change the most important thing about your life: drop 30 pounds, start a new business, or leave your husband. Continue reading “Never practice surgery on your family and other lessons”

A day after the election, regardless of who won, your job is to return to what is YOUR job

A day after the election, regardless of who won, your job is to return to what is YOUR job

It was time for self-reflection today. I am almost done with it.

I have come to the conclusion that it is time to pay attention to what I can control, what is within my control, and give little or no attention to what I can’t… where emotions would run high, fear, anger, concern… for me.

I noticed something today about some of the most successful people I know… which might help you…

Can you guess at how they might have responded to the election?

Awareness… it’s seeing what you are looking at. Accurately

Awareness… it’s seeing what you are looking at. Accurately

cherry-hazelnut-muesli-2I have been in this inquiry since February when I first heard Tai say: the strongest predictor of your success, in any area of life, is the level of your awareness.

So what is this awareness that is so important.

Nine months… it’s taken me till today to get complete clarity of what this ‘thing’ awareness is.

Six million Jews perished in the gas chambers and mass graves during the holocaust, because they were not aware.

Tens of millions of people were ashamed of themselves and their association with Germany, people who elected Hitler and the Nazi party… because they were not aware.

How to grow from where you are begins with…

How to grow from where you are begins with…

why-do-i-succeedI’ve been quiet.

I am working through some stuff… nothing personal, it’s about you. It’s about what to teach you. How to teach you. It’s about seeing, in more detail, and more precisely what is the truth about you, so I can talk to you the way you can hear me.

The more precisely I can ‘diagnose’ what is the situation with you, the more effective my message and my teaching can be.

But, it seems no matter how precise my teaching, it is not really up to me, or my teaching, what will happen to you or your life.

It is up to you. Your actions, your attitude, your ‘undeclared commitment’ in life. Continue reading “How to grow from where you are begins with…”

How to Learn Many Things at Once… very useful if you are in my coaching program

How to Learn Many Things at Once… very useful if you are in my coaching program

learn-new-thingsThere’s so much you want to learn, need to learn, should learn… so much, in fact, that you don’t know where to start.

Most people get inspired for some goal, sprint at max effort for 1-2 weeks, burn out, push the goal into the back of their mind, and never touch it again. New Year’s resolutions are a classic example. Campaigning.

Let’s look at how to improve your chances of success.

Learn awareness, the strongest indicator of health, wealth, love, and happiness

Learn awareness, the strongest indicator of health, wealth, love, and happiness

distinctions-are-the-secret-sauceChangeability, adaptability is the secret of living a consistently good life… but changeability and adaptability depend on awareness. As your awareness grows in the four pillars of the good life, so your success and the quality of your life…

By the way, did you notice I didn’t say “learn about awareness…” but that is what you read? Right?

In the old Forum program, the Forum Leader came in, screaming at us, poor unsuspecting brand new participants: For you Everything is the same as everything else … except not always.

It took me years to decipher that and see that it is true.

People who become worth a damn have stuff in common

People who become worth a damn have stuff in common

libraryWhat is in common, what is a shared characteristic among them? What does all people who are worth a damn do?

There is not much in common. It is not talent. It is not ethnicity. Not personality or schooling. Not religious affiliation.

The one common characteristic I have found is books. People who become worth a damn are readers.

Even more importantly than being a reader: the most important commonality is when they started to read.

Prostitution. Your base survival strategy…

Prostitution. Your base survival strategy…

sell-talent-prostitute-tolstoyI caught something today:

Prostitution. Your base survival strategy.

What is prostitution?

Let’s look at it without a dictionary, shall we?

  • Institution is building something that lasts, like a country.
  • Constitution is your base inclination, personality, body, temperament.
  • Substitution is using a different element to serve the same purpose.
  • Prostitution is to replace what is innately yours… with someone else’s interest.

Let me now check what the dictionary has to say about it?

The unworthy or corrupt use of one’s talents for the sake of personal or financial gain.

Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead…

Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead…

Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead… While you are alive life is ups and downs, good feelings, bad feelings, neutral feelings.

The fact that you can’t feel your feelings doesn’t mean they aren’t there…

Yesterday was a weird day.

First I fell victim to taking things personally. I’d like to say it was funny, but taking things personally is not fun.

The whole day passed without a single email, and also without most of my regular clients and students visiting my site. I was checking. Continue reading “Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead…”

Want to Be a fly on my wall? This may be my most revealing rant…

sunday-rantsSunday Rants

Want to get inside my head? What I think in my privacy? What I say to my faithful talking partner of nine years?

The calls last about 90 minutes, and you can have access to them.

Will you understand? Who knows? But they are really the politically incorrect thoughts and utterances of a “mystic”, whatever that means.

Are they interesting? I think so. Some calls more than others.
