How to grow in spite of the ego

Why do I demand that if you want to be my student, you buy and do, religiously, attentively, seriously, the 67 steps by Tai Lopez?

It’s Tuesday, so it was my doing my errands day.

At the grocery store, at the self checkout, there was a new attendant, who looked like a foreigner. I asked where she was from. She was from Albania. We got into a conversation. She’s been here for 16 years, and she is full of complaint.

I suggested that she could apply herself more, get skills, computer, better english. She was arguing every step of the way. Turns out that she doesn’t have time for any of that because she spends most of her time in her garden.

Suddenly clear of who she was, I recommended that she stops complaining.

You read, you watch videos, and nothing seems to stick, nothing seems to become useful knowledge

If you are trying, you read, you watch videos, and nothing seems to stick, nothing seems to become useful knowledge, listen up.

This is an interaction from yesterday, with a student of mine who has this same problem.

He says: I can’t even explain how I need and want to allow more knowledge in and execute it in my life. You are right my lack of humility is preventing me from doing anything new. It is so tough when I want to learn more but I can’t get it to stick.
My answer: it may not be true now. humility is on right now.
watch a video or something while it’s still on
he asks: How do you approach reading or listening to a recording?

Innovation vs fixing… how can you have any circumstance and still be happy?

Innovate yourself out of the problem

If you are here, reading this blog, you have a complaint about life… something you’d like to fix. Even if you are pretending that you are “just” curious… all humans living on Planet Earth have something they don’t like and they’d like to fix it.

That is the first inclination of everyone. You have an itch: scratch it. Have a problem? Find a solution.

Solution is a code word for fixing.

But we all face a problem, like the dog who scratched his skin so now it is raw and is going to get infected.

The solution is the next problem, usually bigger than the original problem.

So what can you do?

If Tai Lopez is any indication, Sir Richard Branson said: “Innovate yourself out of the problem”.

Evolution, upsetting the apple cart or staying the same

Evolution, or upsetting the apple cart. Do we have the strength in the face of ego, and society demanding that we stay the same?

Upsetting the apple cart… the standing order of things. In your case: what you can and can’t do, have and feel. The misery, the pretense, the must, and the ought to… This is what today’s article is about.

Can you feel the ego squirming? Good… keep one eye on the ego… Please.

I have just started to read the first book Tai Lopez has on his 100 book recommended list.

This one is right up my alley, because it is about the genes and their role in the evolution.

If you imagine the DNA as a 300 page book, a gene is a few lines in it.

But those few lines make you behave differently than if you didn’t have them.

Each gene that is turned on makes you choose what you eat, how you walk, who you mate with, and what you read.

What is it that you haven’t started to work on because you could not see your way to it?

Sometimes a simple question can open up a whole new world of possibilities

In one of the 67 step videos, Man on the moon, the question is, at the end of the video: what was impossible before, and now it is possible.

I looked, down the page to see what other people wrote, and nothing resonated with me. I had no answer.

But this morning I kept on thinking about my favorite TV show, Lie to me… I have watched all episodes at least three times. I wasn’t sure why… but this morning it all added up.

In one of the episodes, Hal, the main character, pulls a long con.

Religion, atheists, agnostics… let’s look at these differently, through capacities, IQ, and vibration

I am not fond of campaigners. I am not fond of activists.

A few months ago I was lead to Robert Ingersoll, and I read his many books… I was interested, because I never thought, never learned, never experienced religion, especially not Christianity and its many sects.

I thought the idea of religion very outdated.

Then today I looked up Richard Dawkins, because I heard about him from Tai Lopez, and heard that 40% of the people surveyed in the US believe that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.

I got sick to my stomach.

But then again… sick to my stomach, or not, there are some valid questions that can be asked… from Source, whatever Source is.

Learned Helplessness: 50% of humanity is a wuss, a sissy

Learned Helplessness: 50% of humanity is a wuss, a sissy… a cry-baby. In 1945 it was 7%… In Jesus’ time it was 1%

Learned helplessness, this is today’s topic. The opposite of ‘Bring it on…!’ Your life depends on which is your dominant attitude.

Which attitude will get you what you want?

No contest, I hope, learned helplessness will get you more of the same.

50% of the world’s population behaves like they can’t handle it. It is learned helplessness… it is not innate. But it feels innate…

But it is, in reality, a reflex built and initiated by parents, religion, school, and politics.

The ‘I can’t handle it’ reflex, like Pavlov’s dog salivating at the sound of the bell, whether there is food there or not, gets activated by anything society deems ugly or bad.

What does your energy say about you?

It would be my mom’s birthday today. She would be 96 years old if she lived. She died 21 years ago.

So, today, I decided to honor her. Pay my respects. Connect to her. Allow the animosity between us to be, but not stand in the way.

To my surprise, her whole presence, her internal struggling, her overthinking mind… are all here…

Her energy didn’t disappear because she died. Not a nice energy, poor mom, she wasn’t a happy person. I am not surprised that she decided at 75 that she had lived long enough.

But let me muse a little bit about the energy that you leave behind.

The most dominant energy, nowadays, is greed.

Another way lack of humility screws with you

The Detached/Unattached ¹ capacity workshop evolved into a major tranformational process course… which I didn’t know it was going to do. ²

Lots of insights, but here is one I want to share:

In your life, beginning with your life in the womb, you made up stories about how you are, how others are, how life is.

Your life, the quality of your life, whether you are worth a damn, whether you have knowledge, strategy, whether you do something worth doing or not, are given by the stories you made up.

Happiness is a rope dance, walking a thin line

Happiness is a rope dance, walking a thin line. No wonder you are not happy… or how lack of humility is the big issue

Little more about humility… the cog in the wheel

One detrimental functions of ‘lack of humility’ as a capacity, is that you can’t change your mind about your past. Continue reading “Happiness is a rope dance, walking a thin line”
