Permission to be the way you are, warts and all

Permission to be the way you are, warts and all

permission to growOnly when you have permission to be how you are, who you are, where you are, that you have permission to grow.

If you don’t, it you should be more, better, or different, then you can’t grow… because your starting point is that A should not be A…

In this work we attempt to change our genes so we can become all we can become.

I read this quote in an email today.

I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.‘ — Georgia O’Keeffe. Continue reading “Permission to be the way you are, warts and all”

Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?

Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?

Do you need passion to love your work? Purpose? Maybe the right work?

What is the truth about that?

One of my former students sent me an email today. He is a former student, because I could not get him to achieve any results whatsoever.

But he has sent me valuable information before, so I read the email. Continue reading “Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?”

Information is worthless. Only action is teaching

A very painful fact OF LIFE triggered today’s article. The fact that

And thinking about anything, fretting, worrying, strategizing, conspiring neither.

But what does?

This is what today’s article is about… The what does… Continue reading “Information is worthless. Only action is teaching”

Help! I have been a loser! Can you help? Please?

Help! I have been a loser! Can you help? Please?

So I watched this Walter Presents French cop series on Amazon Prime.

In one episode they have a serial killer. The killer must be part of a traveling circus, because every killing happened while the circus was in town.

So they go to the circus ground… and question the owner. And while they do that the son of the owner shows up, stammering his proud confession that he did it.

When they do a search the cops find that the boy, now a man, was kidnapped and made the owner’s son… but he was a disappointment to the circus…

So the cops contact his birth mother and arrange a phone call between mother and son. The birth mother says: ‘I found you after 20 years. I love you no matter what you have done.Continue reading “Help! I have been a loser! Can you help? Please?”

You don’t seem to have any projects.

Have a mind like a sieve? Nothing sticks?

Have a mind like a sieve? Nothing sticks?

It takes more than just insights, or reading, or listening to audios to become a fully equipped person who can live the good life. But what is the fundamental missing piece that so darn few ever benefit from in ANY of the activities they undertake?

With life spent in cars and buildings, our eyes stopped looking and assessing our environments. And with smart phones and computers, our eyes have become stationary search beams, not seeing anything outside of the beam…

But more importantly: out of sight – out of mind:

the brain does not connect what you see with anything… nothing is ever written on your brain’s hard drive… only into its RAM… and once you look away, it all disappears…

When and if you are entitled, you live in make-believe

When and if you are entitled, you live in make-believe
Entitled, the worldview, the beingness is the seed level of your life.

A whole life grew out of it, on top of it. A life that is unaware that it is not a natural state of being. That it makes you less suitable for life than those who managed to shed the genes off at age three and six.

This worldview envelops you in a fake suit of invulnerability. A fake suit like the emperor’s new clothes… there is nothing there other than what you imagined.

How do we use our limited resources, energy, time, money

How do we use our limited resources, glycogen, time, money. Brain power. Energy. Attention. All limited resources.

Honestly, I don’t know what glycogen is, and why it is important… but…

Glycogen is some kind of sugar… a major energy source.

We all have resources that are limited. Either in time or in quantity. It seems that glycogen is one of those. It is the energy source that allows us to make things happen, to actually get something done.

And, as it turns out, we spend our glycogen on trifles. 90% of the time… By the way time. That, time is another limited resource… Once you used it up, it is gone. So is your money. Continue reading “How do we use our limited resources, energy, time, money”

Entitlement, pretense, cancer. Are we all dying?

Entitlement, pretense, cancer. Are we all dying?

Some conspiracy theorists say that the COVID virus was intended to reduce the world’s population by a lot… but it escaped the laboratory before it was ready.

I have read several books that talk about human manufactured pathogens for the express purpose to create a new earth with just the rich and powerful continuing to exist. Continue reading “Entitlement, pretense, cancer. Are we all dying?”
