The Pebble in your shoes: what keeps you from changing

This is the second part of this series about the pebble in your shoe… The one that cramps your style, spoils your efforts, and leaves you with less than you started, no results, no joy, no satisfaction.

So what is the pebble? Here is my definition, the result of a lot of looking, pondering… The Pebble is what you take as self-evident, therefore it’s invisible for you: it’s the concealed switch of the machine that you are…

It is what Ayn Rand refers to in Atlas Shrugged… Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.

Soul Correction: Slighted

Slighted is an optical illusion where you see that everyone else, or a certain group has everything that should belong to you.

Is life all it’s cracked up to be? it is not fair!

If I asked you to observe your face without changing it first and without going to the mirror, could you do it?

One of the most useful things I have ever read, that if you use specific muscles in your face to produce a micro-expression, your emotions will follow. Continue reading “Is life all it’s cracked up to be? it is not fair!”

How Do I Hear What Source Says? I Want To Hear What Is Offered To Me!

Question:
Dear Sophie, all day I am very aware of the tangerine and I reach to connect – I was going to ask you how I address the source, how do I hear? (you know after so much cultural garbage, many people like me are deaf) , can I learn to set aside what i want to hear and hear what is offered to me?

I could just answer with a simple “yes” but there are important things to teach on this occasion:

Let me start with an admission: My middle name should be “20/20 hindsight.”
