This article is about a youtube guru type, who now teaches classes and consults to eliminate procrastination.
I have a special email address I use to sign up to things I don’t really want to be bothered further on. Continue reading “Procrastination… Do his methods work?”

Complaining implies expressing dissatisfaction about a situation or behavior. Ranting is all about expressing anger by shouting in frustration. And gossiping is talking about a person who isn’t present. So this article, at least the first part is all three. But it is also a teaching opportunity.
Every Tuesday I am on a group coaching call with one of my coaches.
I don’t like him. I say this upfront so I can watch if I have a prejudice… while I am writing about him.
Anyway, I have once written an article that I can’t now find where I say that even if you copy everything visible about a person who is doing better than you, you won’t be like him, and your results probably won’t be like his. Continue reading “Is ranting gossiping? Is ranting complaining?”

Zen: Chop wood, carry water. An outcome independent series of actions. Outcome independence .
Western Culture: What is your why? Create big audacious goals, take bold actions…
One is outcome independent with an overarching goal of inner peace. Not now, not at this moment, but for life.
The other is outcome dependent, judging every step for the result it produced or not, resulting in misery. Continue reading “Want to grow? Master outcome independence!”
Look sideways… meaning: see things sideways… not only straight ahead.
This is what Future Self suggested to the three entrepreneurial students on the call and later to me. Continue reading “Seeing sideways… looking sideways… visual field”

This morning I woke up and have been up now for more than two hours, and not a lick of work has been done… I have been musing.
Hungarian songs swirl in my mind, I look up words I never knew what they meant… but in the age of google you can look up anything, and find…
Old, forgotten words in songs belie the history of the people changing… what they eat, what animals they keep around, how they think.
And then this old movie song sneaks up, in my mind, and I cry and cry again. Continue reading “Eudaimonia… living a life you love and live it powerfully”

This is a long article. It is only worth reading if you are interested in a different life than you are living. If not… not worth reading… Go back to Facebook, or your romance novel, or witches, goblins, vampires, computer games, daydreaming, or whatever you fill your life with.
I am re-reading one of my favorite fiction books, Reamde by Neal Stephenson. Continue reading “Your actions, your desires are for the immediate”

The common fallacy that saying anything negative sounding IS a bad thing… that saying bad things brings bad stuff in its wake
In another article I said: all speaking is committing. And it is true… But is every speaking as strong a commitments as if you said: this is what I stand for, so help me god?
I am working through something that happened in a call with Troy, where he was the coach and I was the client.
I mentioned to him my article from yesterday where I said: no one wants to interview me, so I’ll interview myself.
He instantly got bent out of shape. I am still dealing with the negative reaction it caused for him… as a true empath I am still connected to him, and I feel it will take him a while to shake it off. Continue reading “Negativity and the fallacy that disempowers billions”

‘Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.’ ~ William James
One of the surest symptoms of someone not taking full responsibility for how their life is going is a lack of sense of humor. And because responsibility, the capacity is not available under 200 vibration, that means 99% of humanity lives without a sense of humor. Continue reading “Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing”
According to some statistics, 30% of humanity lack meaning in their lives.
I think that this statistics is off by a lot. It’s more like 91%… according to Source. Continue reading “Does Your Life Lack Meaning? Purpose? Organizing Principle?”

One of the measures in my Starting Point Measurements is how many bits of information, how many balls you can keep in the air at the same time.
Most people can only keep one ball, reliably, in the air. The moment something better, exciting shows up, they drop it… If they start juggling two,they drop both off… Continue reading “How many balls, ideas, projects can you keep in the air?”
