Learned helplessness, this is today’s topic. The opposite of “Bring it on…!” Your life depends on which is your dominant attitude.
Which attitude will get you what you want?
No contest, I hope, learned helplessness will get you more of the same.
50% of the world’s population behaves like they can’t handle it. It is learned helplessness… it is not innate. But it feels innate…
But it is, in reality, a reflex built and initiated by parents, religion, school, and politi
I had today, being Sunday, my Sunday call, the one I’ve had for 9 years now.
We’ve spoken about a lot of things. One of them will be of special relevance to you.
That is, why people want to change.
It all came out of both of us watching the first few sessions of the 67 steps, excellent, by the way. But what’s most interesting is that what he is getting out of it, and what I am getting out of those sessions, the 67 steps, are so different: it is hard to be
Lack of sleep is one of the biggest issues of our time. Not because you are doing anything useful, or because you don’t have time to sleep.
This article is about taming your tiredness so you can sleep.
This is one thing no one is talking about… you are too tired to go to bed, you are too tired to go to sleep.
Most of my life I lived a life like this: I would work, intensely, 12-18 hours a day. Then I would be too tired to go to sleep.
I may even get to my bedroom, and sit on the edge of the bed, pr
This morning my main computer quietly died.
Times like this are the real tests whether the capacities are working or not.
Suddenly I had no access to anything that is on that computer, not the data, not the software, and I had a few choices: go crazy, go out of business, or bring resiliency, aka mental toughness to carry the day.
It’s Tuesday, and a few minutes after the death of my trusty computer, I went downstairs and to my weekly outing to the chiropractor and to the gro
Did you know that every revolution has been, historically, just a re-shuffling of who is going to have power over who?
When I first read Osho’s book, Rebellion, Revolution and Religiousness, I actively worked on understanding.
In Hungary we learned a lot more history than American students, and I personally have seen revolution, and reform and all that never changed anything on the long run.
A lot of people repeat Osho’s words: he is very eas
For those of you who have been making ever tightening circle around the secret, you may call it the truth, this is first a big let-down. A disappointment.
But when you look again, it gives you your life back, your ship is again under your command… you can become a finder instead of a seeker of the secret.
“The secret of growth” you’ve known but wished to be different is this: find something th
Some people lie more than others. But all people lie… Lying by commission and lying by omission.
Facebook is nauseatingly full of lies and liars. You lie to your loved ones and you lie to yourself. You lie because it seems the kind thing to do, you lie because it is no big deal… but it is… to your inner self… and then you pay the price. This article explains how.
It’s obviously not my article… but it will do…
The Law of Honesty

You can’t win the bets you don’t make. You can’t win the arguments you don’t engage in. You can’t win without taking risks.
If you look at me, and can see, you’ll see a person with severe dyslexia, serious holes in her brain from two episodes of brain damage.
What does this mean? This means that I make a lot of mistakes, mistakes most people would not make…
Couple that with a quick-start personality, and you get a lot of failures, a lot of mistakes, a lot of screw-up… and, surprisingly a lot of wins.

I just noticed that guessing is not a good method in process… neither is faking it, winging it, etc. It’s not a process if someone else cannot follow in your footstep! Ugh.
I can see that I need to change more things than one… especially guessing… I find it irresistibly funny… lol… even though I am not sure what is making me laugh out loud. But it tickles my funny bone that all my habits fly in the face of process.
Ego is trying to assert itself, yelling that it’s boring…
Some 30 years ago I participated in a seminar series on and for creativity. I have one thing I still remember:
If you were born, you have a soul correction.
There is no jumping into “desire for the sake of sha
