Oh… and why should you care? lol
The best way I can explain a context is that it’s a backdrop. Like the background in front of whatever is happening happening. You are unaware of it, and therefore your actions are not consistent with what people expect. You are offensive. Or you are disagreeable. Or you are out of line. Continue reading “What is the difference between a field and a context?”

Simple answer: You lack skills and capacities…
You can boil water, make coffee in the coffee maker. Drive a car, open your smartphone… You are not quite hopeless… or are you? Not quite hapless either… or are you?
One of the measurements in the Starting Point Measurements is your vocabulary: how well do you actually know, how accurately know what words mean…
Here we look into words (distinctions) that define your ability to live a good life… skills, competencies, abilities and such. Continue reading “How to get out of the rut you are in? Get unstuck…”

People, when they are diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, they are willing to change what got them to have that disease.
Temporarily.
With only a few exceptions. My younger brother is one… He had a triple bypass AND gall stones a few years ago. About 10 years ago.
He dropped all his access weight, started to move a whole lot more, started to eat differently… for a while.
I just measured his health measurements… and he is not well… again. Continue reading “I am learning something I hoped I’d never learn…”
Message to my friend: please don’t be offended. This was too good a story, too educational, to pass by. I didn’t mean to offend you, or invalidate your effort.
Is responsibility a capacity? If it isn’t, it should be… but it isn’t.
Responsibility, the behavior, has lots of other capacities that need to be lit up for it to work. Continue reading “Is responsibility a capacity? A case study”
This is the beginning of a longer article… but I publish it before it’s ready… for reasons of my own.
I live my life as an experiment.
Most people have no idea what that means, or what even doing one experiment would mean for them… Continue reading “Why and how is sugar toxic? Because sugar is a toxin, right?”
Sophie, I loved your Legrande coaching call. It was incredible. I still cant get over it how much lessons in there that were so amazing.

How do you develop yourself to be able to move forward? To grow?
Many of my coaching students are at a crucial point in their lives where unless something happens, they probably won’t move forward.
Fear, unclarity, self-centeredness, belligerence…
The main attitude is different for each person. Not one person resembles another in what seems to block their path.
A perfect example of the Anna Karenina Principle: a deficiency in any one of a number of factors dooms an endeavor to failure. All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way

I experienced a few weeks ago that I can bring party to life.It was at my weekly exercise class. The teacher has 600 songs on his tablet… and we do everything to the music and the rhythm of the songs.
You can use that to do the movements normally, or the way I do it: like a crazy breakdancer… not the moves, just the temperament… I am getting old. But I used to dance like a breakdancer… no kidding.
How you dance expresses who you are the most accurately… of course within the boundaries of your physical intelligence.

This is a somewhat edited article from 2011. In 2011 I still thought that I can upgrade the DNA of every person on the planet.
The capacity of caring is new to humanity. On September 4 less than a handful of people had it.
Let me tell you how I came to have it some 10 years ago:
