Please pay attention: this is NOT my article, and the references to “I” and “me” are not mine, they are Alex Ferriera’s… I am republishing these quotes because I want it to be an experiment… Clue is at the end of the article.

Motivation is as much of necessary habit as eating is. Constantly surround yourself with the correct inspiration and you are sure to expand your dreams. Here are some of my favorite quotes which remind me to keep progressing forward.

One of the transformational moves I use with my students is “flipping the context.”

Context is decisive, and the context inside which you live your life is what makes your life great or horrible… not what happens to you.

Here is an example of flipping the context from my favorite horoscope writer, Rob Brezsny:

I wrote this article in 2017. It has some truth, but not all that much… I am fat again, and the weight, this time, doesn’t want to move. I don’t walk… so take it with a grain of salt… Please.

I went grocery shopping today on my own. I was carrying some 20 lbs of groceries up the steps to get home.

This was the first time in maybe 6-7 years. I don’t drive. So I walked and took the bus and walked some more.

One of my jobs is to diagnose your ‘issue’. Life-issue.

To really pinpoint the reason, so you can just remove that reason and life starts working, instantly, better.

The pinpoint I want to talk about here is your tendency to see the same thing everywhere.

If you haven’t read the articles, here are the links: your success score article and the modeling article from earlier today

I watched the 1995 movie Babe again this afternoon. I wept… again. I was deeply moved. By what, you ask?

Question: did you watch this movie? Did you stop to learn something?

This morning I received an email from a young man who paid me to measure his starting point measurements.

He could be speaking for you.
I need to take better care to my physical body. Like you said, drinking more water is the first step.
I don’t take care of my body, and I can’t understand why.
I feel like I’m missing gratitude. I hate to say it but I don’t feel grateful, and I don’t understand why.
Gratitude probably will come up to everyone, at least in the United States, where this week is Thanksgiving week… and you are supposed to be grateful. Or pretend that you are.
The more lavish your Thanksgiving, the more money you spend, the more food on the table, the more you do it to cover up that you are pretending. And pretense is the killer of the spirit.

Is calling that fuzzy feeling, that uplifting feeling, what the love gurus meant for us to be? The love they say god is?

I don’t think so.

I think no person in their right mind would think that god, whatever that may be, is sitting there loving you up… feeling love.

So what does that make you? A person not in their right mind? Exactly.

Now, whether you can see my point or not, I’ll press on. You’ll either get stuck here, or come with me… I don’t really care. Why? Because your behavior is your behavior, and has nothing to do with me or my well being, or really anything.

Now, why did I say that? Because the same “mind” that says that love is a feeling, probably also said that

I have been puzzled by the fact that people are literally unable to think up a context that would instantly transform their reality.

As I have said before: context is decisive.

That simply means that the context, the background alters how the foreground is perceived. The foreground doesn’t change, or not necessarily, but the mood, the attitude, the feeling, the motivation changes.

The how changes, sometimes dramatically.

My favorite context is mastery.

Mastery is just a word… So let’s elaborate on that.

One of my greatest revelations about transformational methods was in the Wisdom Course, a year long Landmark program.

It was a method of telling the story of your life.

You can tell the story of your life in a lot of ways.

• • from abuse to abuse
  • from success to success
  • from the point of view of what school you went to

• from the point of view of who was around,
• who were your friends
• your immediate circle
• from the point of view of your vibration,
• your sufferings
• your sex life
• your weight
• your aspirations<
