The story you so diligently protect… that you lie for, you die for…

not-pretty-enough-smallerThe single reason most people don’t want to work with me is this: I will rob them (attempt to) of their sob story. ((Sob story: a repeating way to be miserable, to lose out on life, to be beaten down))

What’s a sob story?

Well, everybody has one… It was born after an incident in early childhood.

Something happened, and you made a decision about yourself, about the world, about your mother.

Some people have interlocking decisions, making the sob story as strong as a Greek myth.

As long as your sob story is intact, you lie through your life to mai

What Can The Karate Kid Teach You To Do, That You Know, But Are Not Doing?

Life is like a sword play… You can do it… as slash slash or elegantly, economical precise practiced movements, like a dance. ((

I saw something this morning.

I was knocked awake… painfully.

How many things you know how to do, how many things can you do?

Thousands of things.

And how many do you do? Tens, max.

But you don’t do them… you think about doing them. Not even in a planning to do way, but in a “that would be the thing to do” way. Like air guitar, like punching the air p

Found a good video… if you are in 67 steps, this will make you feel good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oVrMpvtU8c

A few words about this video:

1. the truth value is 7%, but if you are in the 67 steps coaching program, the truth value approaches 90%.
2. the video is too long. I wish he had broken it up to 20-minute chunks, maybe even shorter. I don’t have the “storage” capacity, the glycogen capacity to hear and get the whole thing.

So, maybe, you should watch it in chunks. I am also posting it in the subscribers area… and if I can manage, take out the audio, so you can put it on your iphone…

The 67 steps coaching, based on the 67 steps program by Tai Lopez, provides the strategic thinking, the strategic attitude and behavior this guy is talking about, unless, of course, you do the program without conviction, without energy, without knowing that there is a long term pay

Learning and growing through simulation

Computer-Games-as-a-Tool-for-Language-Education2Life is a lot like a Freecell game. ((In an upcoming article I’ll share what it cost me to learn through life, instead of simulation. Quite an educational story… sad though… :-())

You make lots of decisions… which card to move, which card to leave alone.

In a very short time when you find yourself with no cards to move… it is mighty hard to retrace your steps. And even if you could, undoing the steps

False starts, crushed dreams… if that’s your life… listen up

2722241211_22435b9bc0The allure to jump into doing is very strong. Or alternatively waiting… and doing nothing.

But “They” say: without action nothing happens. Some say: take lots of action, imperfect actions.

But no one is talking about looking, no one is talking about conscious awareness.

Conscious awareness is what separates a human from an animal.

When you are operating from the mind, you are not using conscious awareness.

What you are doing now is not working. You deserve better…

you deserve what you haveWhat kind of deserving is in that title?

Systemic? Extrinsic? Intrinsic?

  1. Systemic would be: you are on my site, you are reading this, therefore you must be a good person… also deserving?
  2. Extrinsic would be: you have provided me with a lot of value, but what you are doing isn’t getting you the results, the rewards you deserve…
  3. Intrinsic would be: you are a human… deserving a chance at a great life. Of course you need to earn it. Let me show you how to stop what you

What is it that you haven’t started to work on because you could not see your way to it?

man on the moon... what is possible?Sometimes a simple question can open up a whole new world of possibilities

In one of the 67 step videos, Man on the moon, the question is, at the end of the video: what was impossible before, and now it is possible.

I looked, down the page to see what other people wrote, and nothing resonated with me. I had no answer.

But this morning I kept on thinking about my favorite TV show, Lie to me… I have watched all episodes at least three times.

If you lost some or all of your new capacities over the holidays…

thank-god-its-fridayAlmost all of my students lost some or all of their new capacities over the holidays whenever their holidays were (Eastern Orthodox celebrate weeks after the Western Christian churches). Two of them got them back without much help. The rest are struggling.

What is it about the holidays that are so detrimental to your vibration, to your dreams and aspirations?

Here is a video on that… The meat of the article is below the video…

One thing to examine: how come the ones that got them back, got them back… I mean the capacities?

Two things about those two

What makes soap operas addictive? What are YOU hooked on?

got-its-hooks-in-youVery “interesting” experience. I watched the first year of Dexter, and although I wanted to watch all episodes, the first year was not addictive.

But I had a premonition about the rest of the series.

Made up by skilled television writers, I knew it was going to be something dangerous to my well-being.

Unneeded complications, many different side-story lines, all dramatic and irrelevant, all stories I would not watch Netflix for. But all of these side-stories had a claw as sharp as the tiny hooks of burr… of v

The Law of Action

There is a huge misunderstanding that most of you are the victim of: thinking that you need to be ready to do something, that you need to get rid of fear or discomfort to do something.

One of my clients is dealing with an issue. To solve the issue, I asked him to talk to people in the same kind of business as his, to pick their brains what to do in the winters when there is no snow… i.e. there is no business, no revenue… and he still has to pay his employees.

He is afraid. I get that. But he is not doing wha
