Why do I fight positive thinking, why am I trashing it?This morning I got to a realization: the students who are not making strides, not moving higher on the evolutionary scale are the students that are confusing ‘there is nothing wrong in reality’ with positive thinking.
Positive thinking says: avoid negativity. Turn your back to it. Make up something nice to say about things you don’t like, don’t want. Continue reading “Positive thinking and learned helplessness”

No matter how skillful the guidance, the teaching, the coaching, the results will depend on the guided… On their skill and diligence.
And willingness.
Any guidance, any teaching, any coaching is choosing. And when you choose, unless you unchoose something you’ll stop and flail and stop moving. Continue reading “The results of coaching depend on the client”
Everyone is looking for the lost key under the lamppost…
Instead, if they do anything, they try to think it out.
It is like trying to think out soup… no ingredients, none.
The only way to be effective in life is through looking IN REALITY, where the ingredients are… and not just for soup, but for everything.
The Streetlight Effect Continue reading “Look for it where it is, not where the light is on”

Panem et circenses. That is Bread and circuses… in Latin, the language of ancient Rome.
Give the masses bread and circus (entertainment) and they won’t look at what you do on the top. Superficial appeasement. Continue reading “What does the 99% do that the 1% doesn’t? Bread and circus”

I have clients and students who have been in touch, buying stuff or courses since the beginning. That means about 10 years.
There is a certain kinship between us… they look out for me, they consider me, in addition to be their teacher, they consider me someone they want to be well, want to live long, want to succeed.
It is a very interesting experience for the teacher, because often the only thing that makes people listen is the authority the teacher has, by virtue of some achievement. So when they come to me with an idea to help me, I have to go through a process taming my ‘ego’ that wants to stay i the upper position. I ultimately manage to say: they are doing this because they love me… whether it is true or not, ego is willing to listen. Continue reading “Still stuck at the bottom after so many years?”

Don’t believe your press… It will get you stuck, or even destroy you.
In my observation most people who go bankrupt, or lose their job, or get demoted, are surprised… they believed their high, the press, will last forever.
Follows my observations of people believing their press.
Please note: I am not judging, I am observing and assessing… Judgment is not what I do… Continue reading “Don’t believe your press. good, bad, it will get you stuck”

Is it really true that no amount of talk therapy, self-talk, mindfulness, meditation, no amount of tapping, hypnosis, shock therapy can change what you get? That Landmark Education produces the same meager results as Tony Robbins, or any other known or unknown entity, claiming to transform your life?
Can you do what Gandhi taught? BE the change you want in the world? He couldn’t either! Continue reading “What nobody told you about changing what you get…”
