If you want the good life, you’ll need to learn some stuff, and unlearn some stuff… but most importantly you’ll have to learn how to and how not to… Remember the how? How you do anything is how you do everything… it is the approach, the attitude, the beingness.
There are a great many ways you can remain unaccomplished, and left behind in life.
Almost as many ways as many people. This is the Anna Karenina Principle.
As with everything, the strait and narrow work
If you go about it the same way you have always gone, you’ll get the same results: not much.
I just got an insight I want to share.
There are all kinds of valid sayings that, as it turns out, only tell half truths.
If you do what you have always done… you’ll get what you have always gotten. Meaning: do something different.
But when you do something different, you get the same dismal result.
So what they are missing is the how.
The how, interestingly, points to your beingness. To your approach, not only to the task, but to life.
Because, please don’t forget, how you do anything is how you
Another book written by Malcolm Gladwell deals with the deficit, the weakness of a person, that becomes the catalyst for them to become the best.
Of course, this is not automatic.
99% of dyslexics can’t read or write well, and are left behind in society.
But a disproportionately large percentage of exceptionally successful people are dyslexic.
99% of dyslexics are kinesthetic learners, perceive the world kinestheticly. It is another hindrance, being

I had a few insights today, one of them suddenly answers a question I didn’t ask before.
The question I didn’t ask was: how come the people with nothing of real value to say occupy the top 1% of the internet?
This is what happened? I saw an email that offered a list of 241 top influencers on the internet. I looked at the list, and there was not one person who had anything to say that could make the world a better place for h
The most popular image I have on Instagram says: Arrogance is weakness disguised as strength.
Now, why this is worth writing about?
Because it is the tip of the iceberg of something really important.
We have spoken about the selfish gene. For the gene you are a survival vehicle only. And a person, who is not related to you, is competition, rival… and in your gene’s way to make more copies of itself.
I know this is unfamiliar territory, but please bear with me, because where it is taking us is worth going to… so patience… you don
We all want to be loved. It’s hardwired, because being loved is the surest way to be fed, as a child, get sex as an adult, be promoted or helped as an adult.
Its purpose is survival.
The organism wants to survive, desperately.
We don’t know what that love is, but we want it. And some of us want to earn it.
I just followed a link that introduced me to Chris Farley, a fat comedian, who died… because he could not live without that love. ((Chris Farley is the fat guy

Happyness and happiness I just looked at the cover of the book The Pursuit of Happyness and it hit me that the difference between those two words is: the first, happyness is the journey, your beingness and the second, happiness … Continue reading → Related Posts: Who or what is The Creator that loves you […]
I have been leading a webinar for quite a while, and it has always been brilliant, both to participate in and to lead.
It has always delivered on the promise:
It’s worked for years… and this past weekend it didn’t.
I have now spent hours
Activism, campaigning
We all want change. The circumstances to change, others to change… We want people to change to what we deem the correct or good way to be.
We want reality to be different.
We put our attention to what’s wrong, in our view, what is missing, in our view.
In essence, we want the world to conform to our norms.
I am describing, to a more or less degree, humanity… though a segment of the population is very loud about it, very verbal about it: activists and campaigners.
The number one ingredient to become an
I have said before: What you see is the most important element in your life. In this article you’ll see, that what you see is also directed by where you are looking… You can look at one thing or you can look at another ting… and your actions will be sharply different. ((For completeness sake, where you are looking from is also an important factor… where the “where” is not a place, it’s an attitude, expectation, or an already knowing. If this made no sense… it is new to you. Ask me to write an article about that. But here is an example for already knowi
