At any moment you are either growing or you are dying… but how do you go from dying into growing again?You can plan for survival, and you can plan for growth
The most important difference, from your point of view is this:
When you plan for survival, every setback threatens you with death, or poverty, lack, illness or shame.
When you plan for growth, every setback is a new opportunity to use your skills to now grow from this new level. Continue reading “At any moment you are either growing or you are dying”
Articles and books that teach you to be more productive try to appeal to a part of you that you may not have… The industrious part.
So they more often than not miss the boat… and you continue being unproductive.
So how does your day look? You are doing things slowly. Unorganized. Listless.
It is distasteful to you to do what you need to do because… because what you value most is your free time. Free from obligation, free from anything that needs to get done, or has to get done, or should get done. Continue reading “What is the real goal of getting more productive?”

There is a certain order in the Universe.
I know it looks random and capricious, but it looks that way because of your lack of respect, lack of looking again.
Human nature is to think that what you do in one area, like fixing what you think is wrong, doesn’t effect the whole, and it will be OK.

You’d rather be right than happy, you’d rather be right than rich… Your microexpressions will give you away
I had a few remarkable experiences the past few days.
The conclusions from these experiences make me mad, angry, bitter, and hopeless… but that should not surprise you: the condition of humanity is hopeless.

Your starting point measurements tell me the whole story that you are.And the picture of putting all those starting point measurements together also tells me how humanity as a whole is doing.
Pitiful.
But why?
Most people think that what they do when they are at their best, when they go to church in their best church-going outfit, when they are smart, nice, funny, or can answer a question right… that that is who they are. Continue reading “Your life-success score is low… how do you raise it?”

One of the undistinguished urges is ‘cheap closure now’.
When you are looking for something through a filter, you’ll see nothing else, but what the filter allows you to see.
Your filter is most likely your worldview…
When you see a problem, you immediately look for a solution… it is human nature to do that. But the nature of reality is that every solution comes with a cost. And often the cost is a bigger problem that will plague humanity with huge problems.
