Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

Homeostasis, growth, coaching, teaching… push or pull?

I had massive brain damage back in 1998, and many of my brain processing centers went dark… Pushing me out of homeostasis.

Looking back, having that brain damage is what helps me to do the work I do now. Because of that brain damage I experienced isolated parts of my intellect not being there, even though previously they were there, and of course were taken for granted. I just saw what I saw, did what I did. No big deal.

Reading and re-reading the novel, Flowers for Algernon was of tremendous help to know what was going on really.

If you only watched the movie, Charlie, you don’t, you didn’t think what there was to think, that capacities can disappear, but the memory of them is still there, the name of them is still there, so the only valid identification of a capacity is possible only through losing it.

How to get your groove back?

When I look around I notice that you, people have lost their mojo. They look and sound like they have no energy. I did too until about a week ago… until I did what I needed to do to get my groove back.

I got aware that I was losing my mojo myself because I just wanted to sleep. And eat chocolate. And read thrillers.

One of my coaches has decided to publish a monthly book subscription. A physical book on mastery. Not on the kindle, not in pdf… no, a printed perfect bound book.

And although the topic interested me, and although I can afford it, I decided that I didn’t want it. Continue reading “How to get your groove back?”

Use fear, use hate as fuel… they can take you to the moon

Use fear, use hate as fuel. This WILL Mean The Difference Between Success And Failure…

Gurus, teachers, everyone and their brother say: you have to get a big why to become successful at anything.

Relationships, slimming down, getting healthy, or raising your vibration, your IQ, your emotional intelligence… anything.

I dare to differ.

In my experience, 35 years in the trenches, watching, observing like a hawk, and going through it myself, I have come to the conclusion that your WHY is a flimsy thing… Continue reading “Use fear, use hate as fuel… they can take you to the moon”

Feel powerless? What will it take to become powerful?

I have been observing that someone from Tallin, Estonia, a former Soviet Union country, has been spending time on my site.

And then in yesterday’s email, Vishen Lakhiani from Mind Valley announced a new masterclass: Unconditional Self-Love.

I don’t know what his wife is going to teach on that masterclass, but I know one thing: it will be, most likely, really beautiful, nice, heartwarming, and utterly ineffective. Why?

Answering that why is what this article is about… what they won’t teach you at Mindvalley. Continue reading “Feel powerless? What will it take to become powerful?”

Do you even know what you really really want?

Henry Ford once said, “If I’d asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, ‘A faster horse!'” People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.

I am reading/listening to a book, The Remembering Process. It supports my Future Self series very nicely. In fact I would have to make it a required read for people who want to do the Future Self process.

The biggest difference is the difference I haven’t quite explored in my previous articles. Some people are visionary and others, like myself, are turtles.

Even turtles have a ‘trajectory’… Continue reading “Do you even know what you really really want?”

Unless it doesn’t make sense it won’t do anything for you

My father taught one thing to me with words, that although it only landed some three decades later, has caused me to finally become successful and healthy… with relationships that are enjoyable…

Obviously the decades in between weren’t like that. They were full of suffering, misery, health deteriorating, and relationship that weren’t fun…

And I didn’t get better because I got older… I got wiser… because finally I understood what my father taught me… Continue reading “Unless it doesn’t make sense it won’t do anything for you”

There are no jumps in reality, other than death, or other tragedies

90% of the people on my mailing list are buyers. so if you are reading this, chances are, 90% that you have bought something from me before. So you are considered a buyer.

One of my teachers is a guy who teaches doing business entirely through emailing. He has a rabid ‘tribe’, people who buy nearly everything he offers. Most of his stuff is pricey, some very pricey.

When he offers something for $20… it makes him more money than I make in a year.

So this morning I looked how I could get more people buy a $20 product myself…

So I started a conversation with my Future Self. Continue reading “There are no jumps in reality, other than death, or other tragedies”

What is co-creation? 1% inspiration, 99% perpiration

What is co-creation? Obviously you don’t know, because…

It is the lack of co-creation that causes you to not produce results while others do create amazing things, with the same exact product. So don’t you think it is time you learn what is co-creation and how to co-create?

And alternatively, what is the difference between those dudes and dudettes that produce results, and you. You look the same… and yet, somehow you are not the same.

1. I’ll tell you in the end… because if I told you now, you’d nod and stop really reading… that is how you behave with everything: the moment you think you understand, you are done.

But understanding IS the booby prize… Continue reading “What is co-creation? 1% inspiration, 99% perpiration”

You can’t hurry learning, you can’t hurry growth or healing

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

One of the sins humanity is perpetrating and has been maybe forever is hurry.

Hurry puts you out of sync, out of harmony with Life. Hurry means you want something faster than it is.

While some things can be done faster without a price. You can run faster, but if your heart goes faster too, you’ll drop dead. You can throw a ball faster. You can make an engine faster. But most things move at the speed of the thing, and making them faster will have a price higher than the thing you want.

Your obsession with fast, instant, effortless…

It’s not how fast you are, but how fast you get there…

Our culture is obsessed with fast. Instant. Effortless.

Fast thinkers are put on pedestal.

But, between you and me, anything that is built fast will come down fast.

The faster someone is, the less they perform in my programs, for example.

Fast is from the left brain.

There are people who seem fast… but the truth is: it took them a long long time, countess days, hours, weeks, months, to build a large enough foundation from which, they can, seemingly produce lightning fast products, books, results. Continue reading “Your obsession with fast, instant, effortless…”
