One of my ‘favorite’ practices is this:
I find out that I misunderstood something. It cost me to miss something. It cost me to misunderstand. And it always does.
So instead of getting upset. Or angry. Or beat myself up. I do something constructive.

When you decide on a new direction for your life, you suddenly find yourself with obstacles blocking you, even your view of the horizon, let alone your path.
Your reaction to it will be one of two kinds… in my experience. Continue reading “The Seven Boulders that you need to concquer”

We are still hanging out with The Sight capacity…
Everybody teaches that what you think about comes about.What they base this inane untruth on is the bad things that you somehow seem to make happen by concentrating on them through fear.
And although the fear-based manifestation is true a lot of the time, the ‘positive’ manifestation happens only as accident, if ever. Continue reading “How does self-fulfilling prophecy really work?”

Alexander the Great supposedly said:Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it, or death takes them.
Now, looking at it from the viewpoint of the fixed mindset versus the growth mindset you can see that the fixed mindset promises you to keep you safe. Continue reading “But what about fear? What shall I do if I am always afraid?”

What happened to humanity, starting at the beginning of the 20th Century is a big tragedy.
And success gurus, success writers, motivational speakers, and the whole industry of the Lottery Approach.
The same thing happened in spirituality and in healing. Even religion had been kinder to people… Even religion had robbed them less that this new wave of success literature. Killing Life… for most people. Continue reading “The tragedy that happened to humanity in the last Century”

Ever since last Saturday I have been observing myself putting myself down, devaluing myself. Telling people I am not such a good coach, etc. etc. etc.
I know what happened. I know exactly.
I watched this guy’s videos, I read his testimonials, I heard his superior facility to guide people and take them where he wanted them to go. I watched his 24/7 tireless enthusiasm to turn marginally interested people into fans. And I compared.
I compared.

We are working to uproot you from misery… and helping you to grow some legs.. so you can dance, move, joyfully.
One more thing to mention that unless you truly get this, nothing else will help, nothing else will matter:
The most important fact about reality is this: there is nothing that is missing in reality.
there is no ‘no’ in reality. So if you want to live in reality, then suddenly we won’t hear the word, inside and out, no, don’t, haven’t, shouldn’t, etc.
I have a young couple living downstairs in this two family house.
I always check if they are at home, and I always opinionate about how they live their lives, at least the part I can see.
So this evening I did what I always do, just after I sent an email to my faithful ‘flexibility capacity’ clients. Continue reading “Uproot yourself so you can dance. Grow some legs”
When the ‘guru’ is wrong
People put gurus on a pedestal, but guru simply means ‘teacher’ in some language: teacher… wise teacher.
But I am not a guru. I may teach, but my methodology, experimenting, is more scientific.
Scientists have a hypothesis, and then proceed to prove or disprove it. Both are good results.
But sometimes a preconceived notion leaks in. 🙁 Continue reading “When the guru is wrong…”
My father was never discouraged. Not that he didn’t show it… he wasn’t discouraged. I remember him having doubts, whether something could work, but not discouraged. Discouraged means having lost confidence or enthusiasm; disheartened.
So what did he have that most of you don’t have?
Let’s see first what discourage is on the level of feelings, and feelings dynamics? Because unless we know how a feeling is born, at the end of what process, we have no idea how to counter it. Continue reading “Discouraged often? Having doubts doesn’t mean that”
As we saw, the two capacities, humility: (saying: I don’t know), and seeing the big picture/looking at the thing inside the big picture, are the most predictive of people who can and will correct their faulty mental picture of reality.
Of these humility is primary.
Humility is what gets us out of our head, and makes us look again.
The mood of this: maybe I didn’t see it right!
We all know people who didn’t look twice, and walked into a trap, walked into disaster with their heads high, no idea that the trap is there.
And how you do anything is how you do everything. So if that is you: it is all over the place for you, in every area of your life.
