The quality of your life boils down to action and patterns

The quality of your life boils down to action and patterns

If nothing changes. the future is predictableThe current state of human intelligence… and I mean the overall intelligence, can be easily tracked on detective movies… British ones are more honest than American movies.

As you may know, I like to watch those… I learn from them as much as from any course, while I am entertained as well.

The quality of a person’s life, your life, boils down to actions… and each and every action is a result of a choice.

The accuracy of your actions is a function of how many patterns you recognize accurately in the world.

If nothing changes about you, your future is quite predictable… it is downhill from here…

Casting errors in movies and what you can learn from them for your life

Casting errors in movies and what you can learn from them for your life

my-left-footWhat is wrong with movies, TV series, that I can’t stomach… or barely?

I am talking about good stories. I am talking about shows with good or passable actors, good directing… And yet the show is scarcely enjoyable because the character doesn’t fit. the inner world of the character is off… tells a different story.

Like the serial killer in The Fall… more about it later.

Ignorance in health matters is killing you

Ignorance in health matters is killing you

granny with flexibilityThis is not a gimmick… This old lady can do this and a ton of other stunts…

The question you should ask not how she remained so flexible, because who cares…

Instead: ask a question that is relevant to you:

What is it that you can do to regain some of your flexibility, some of your energy, so you can enjoy life more, feel younger, look younger.

That is exactly what I did. Continue reading “Ignorance in health matters is killing you”

The Wise, the Foolish, and the Evil test

The Wise, the Foolish, and the Evil test

necessary-endingsThe personality test that tells you if you can grow, and if you can benefit from working with me.

I have been at my wits’ end for years now.

Today I found out what was missing…

Remember the wise saying: when something is not working, there is something you don’t know.

More often than not, what you don’t know is a distinction… and it was definitely true in my case.

I have been making the mistake of coaching and dealing with my people as if they were me… like me… similar to me.

Why are you not ready to take on a project?

Why are you not ready to take on a project?

limited resourcesGiven that I am recommending the 12-week Mastery program, I am keeping my finger on the “pulse” and watching the videos of the 4-video series…

Two reasons:

  1. I am watching for flaws… either in the program or in you… so I can warn you against spending your money… again… on something that won’t make a difference.
  2. I am watching to see if I should do the program myself…

I have just got a glimpse of a flaw that most everyone I know has… including myself… at least in some areas. Continue reading “Why are you not ready to take on a project?”

What is the purpose of Life for you? Life’s not yours

What is the purpose of Life for you? Life’s not yours

your-daily-routineWhat is the purpose of Life for you? Not YOUR purpose… LIFE’s purpose FOR you?

I stumbled on this meme this morning. It is still a little dark outside, and I am still a little sleepy… so I am going to follow this meme, down the rabbit hole… wherever it takes… hm.

The full quote is from a book: Today Matters…

How would you describe your life? Are you achieving what you desire? Are you accomplishing the things that are important to you? Do you consider yourself a success? How do your prospects look for the future?

If I could come to your house and spend just one day with you, I would be able to tell whether or not you will be successful. You could pick the day. If I got up with you in the morning and went through the day with you, watching you for 24 hours, I could tell in what direction your life is headed.

The biggest reason you are stuck on a plateau or in a ditch

The biggest reason you are stuck on a plateau or in a ditch
Regardless of what you do, how you do it, how good or bad your life is… you are always stuck…

Stuck in some deep bad place, or stuck on a plateau… stuck is stuck.

So learning what keeps you stuck and how to unstuck yourself, at will, is one of the most important things you can do… and the sooner the better. Because being stuck is not fun.

Cognitive biases, those knee jerk reaction tiny pieces of automatic responses, are at the root of your misery.

Self-image: unless you see yourself doing it… you won’t do it.

Self-image: unless you see yourself doing it… you won’t do it.

pick-up-sticksSounds simple, right? self-image means: how you see yourself… but nothing internal is as simple and as straight as that?

The way scientists, medical practitioners, diet-cults, pharmaceutical companies work is called linear reductionism… 1 and it is a cognitive bias.

A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, whereby inferences about other people and situations may be drawn in an illogical fashion.

Illogical, inaccurate, leading you and everyone who is run by a cognitive bias to stupidity.

“For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.”

How do you see yourself? how accurate is your self-image?

How do you see yourself? how accurate is your self-image?
skiff ... are you in sync or out of sync with your self-image?The inner view and the outer view of who you are are vastly different. Your chances for success, love, happiness depend on the accuracy of your self-image.

Do you know that people see you differently than you see yourself? And both you and other people see you differently than you actually are.

You may see yourself worse or better or just plain different than you really are… and so do others.

Your life would work better if the two views were closer. You’d have less surprises, less upsets, less fragmentation in your life…

Your actions depend on your self-image combined with your world-image. Altering either, will alter your actions. Bringing both closer to reality will make you a winner.
Want to stop procrastination? This is the work you need to do…

But why and how are the two pictures different, and what can you do about bringing them closer so you can start living the good life?

Do empaths have empathy?

Do empaths have empathy?

what-is-empathyEmpathy… and empaths. Is the empathy we talk about in the world as a good thing and what empaths have the same?

Empathy 1 as psychologists have it, is not the capacity to feel another’s feeling as your own. That is the “extrasensory” ability of an empath: more a nuisance than a good thing.

Empathy, as psychologists have it, as evolution has, probably, intended, is the ability to recognize another’s feeling and have mercy for them, sympathy for them, want to help them. Continue reading “Do empaths have empathy?”
