The four questions…

Humility is the opposite of my soul correction: Forget Thyself.

Every single human, whether they admit it or not, feel above average, and smarter than most everyone… and Forget Thyself is the worst.

It is a daily practice of mine to make myself a learning machine… learn from everyone, including my students.

Humility… it’s actually very hard… you need to give credit where credit is due, and every time, it’s human nature, you experience the marker feelings that come along with comparison: someone is better than me… therefore I must be no good.

And to maintain self-confidence at the same time… really requires the mastery the Posted on in Evolution Modalities | Leave a comment

If it looks easy, and yet…

What comes after the dot dot dot?

You cannot even repeat the sentence…
You cannot do what it explained to do…
It doesn’t do what you were told it would do…

It happens all the time… and it leaves you puzzled, dumbfounded…

If that is you, you MAY belong here. MAY…

If it leaves you saying that the person who spoke was a butthole, or something like that… that they lied, that they are this and that, you don’t belong here.

Puzzled, dumbfounded, confounded are a sign that you got present to the gap in YOUR knowledge, and MAY consider upgrading YOUR knowledge to catch up… the seed of epistemic curiosity.

If you find yourself falling back to where you started…

Like any mad scientist, I always keep looking to move closer to the horizon that recedes as I am getting closer to it. It seems I am almost there…

But… there is always some boulder is blocking my way.

So what do you do with that boulder in your way?

My answer is quite counter-cultural. I say: you have that boulder there because you need to get familiar, maybe even intimate with it so it will let you continue on your path.

It’s easier to edit crap than air…

"It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” – Henry David ThoreauEvery course, workshop, training, in whatever area of life, is largely ineffective.

Some courses are as low as 1-2%… meaning that 98-99% of the participant had an experience, but not the results promised.

I have been puzzling this out for the past eight years… until, this morning, I possibly got the answer why that is.

I was watching/listening to a sales pitch: from Marisa Murgatroyd and her new Experience Product Masterclass.

She promises an experience. She promises unheard amount of support. She claims that the effectiveness of her six-month long masterclass is 70%. She guarantees that you’ll make your tuition

If you want to change your results in life… or why watching TED talks won’t change your life

…or even reading. Or even having a mentor… or paying thousands of dollars for courses…

Why?

We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are

Which means you only hear/see/read from what you watch, hear or read what you already are.

If you want to change your results in life… you have to change yourself first

To change yourself, you need to change what you see…

This… the 30-day challenges, doing them back to back, may not change much of anything, unless you can change, under skilled guidance, what you see. But it is definitely an alternative…

the two brains
curiosity is a right brain phenomena
learning is a left brain

curiosity, when properly awakened, is the spark or the initial much needed step to cause learning.

ignorance is caused by no curiosity.

curiosity is alchemy… needs an alchemist or a master chef..

Why is it that you cannot see the strategy, only the tactic… if even that? If so: What else can’t you see?

Life is a game… a game is something where it is defined what is better than something else.

In golf the ball in the cup is better than outside of it.

In business more profits is better than less.

In love, being loved is better than not to be loved.

Sun Tsu (The Art of War on Wikipedia, read The_Art_Of_War pdf) said:
“All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.”

So the fact that YOU cannot see the strategy is not an exception, it is mo

Tactic or strategy… growth or stagnation… even descent… choose!

The difference between strategy and tactic

strategy: long term, many steps, towards a distant goal. sustainable.
tactic is a step that without a strategy goes nowhere. not sustainable, not scalable.

if you don’t determine where you are and where you want to go, you will o
