Most “do-it-for-you” programs don’t work. Why? Are they bad? Are they fakes, thieves, or is there something in our design as human beings that prevents us from taking advantage of these opportunities. This is what this article is about. Surprising. Documented. True. Continue reading “No One CAN Do It FOR You… And Even if They Could…”

You can’t talk to a caterpillar in butterfly language: It won’t land.
I read my Rob Brezsny horoscope every Tuesday morning. I use it as guidance, I use it as a possible context for my week.
Last week my horoscope was:

“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble, It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so”.
~ from the movie “The Big Short”
Why is it that people don’t like this quote? Can you guess?
I see it all the time. People are quite certain that what they know is true, and are puzzled by the fact that they don’t feel good about themselves, about their place in the world, about their lives.

Stop your baby from crying in Second
Crying babies are all of us, really.
Aren’t we all just fleshy bundles of feelings crying out into the world in hopes of a hug and the license to sleep all the damn time?
IS THIS NOT WHAT THE INSIDE OF YOUR HEART LOOKS LIKE?

Before I do the webinar on inventing being a winner, it would be useful, wouldn’t you say, to distinguish what is winning, what is a winner, so you can choose to be that, or not.
So, I have been looking at everything through this distinction for the past few days, and I am starting to see things.
I have found that the difference between winning or not winning, oftentimes can be seen in the difference in attention.
