In my weekly coaching call with my only business/marketing student last night, I went deep into the causes of why someone with a degree, why someone who is making a living, cannot move further up the life-satisfaction, life effectiveness scale.
I have found two blatant holes in him, that my guess is shared by all of you, or most of you.
1. a total blindness of what gives meaning and therefore the mood for life.
2. a total inability to see what is cause and what is effect.
So how do you fix that? You don’t.
When you find something that isn’t working or isn’t working as well as you’d like it to, your knee jerk reaction is to fix it. Or change it. Or stop doing it.
Your body is like a factory, manufacturing daily energy units that you need to do what you need to do, and energy units to protect you from pathogens, toxins, and other trouble. and thirdly, that in case something did get … Continue reading → Related Posts: Increasing your cell hydration is the first step I […]
The connection between the number of words you can correctly use in writing or in speaking and your intelligence, your worth a damn factor, and your deserving the good life… or not.
I am a reader. I read a lot. But yet, a whole new world opened up for me when I started to read on the Kindle. Why? Because it has a built in dictionary. As a result, I have added, to date, 2,000 words to my vocabulary.
It was very cumbersome to read with a dictionary before… I would lose my place, etc.
But the Kindle has made it possible.
I find the word… but sometimes the word in the dictionary is not useful.
I am reading Seneca, the person with whom my teaching of how to live life, how to be happy, i
Ignorance: ignorance is a two part notion: not knowing with a certain attitude. ((If we looked deeper, we would notice that ignorance and lack of humility always occur together. I may write a similar article on lack of humility… but for now please know: you can replace the word “ignorance” in this article with “lack of humility” and it will remain 100% true))
This article goes deep. It shows the sinister reason you insist on remaining ignorant.
A child who goes to first grade doesn’t know how to find another country on another continent on the map… and yet we don’t call him ignorant. He is in the process of learning tha
If I asked you: how many percentage of what I say or write in my articles actually lands, accurately in you?
Experiments and tests show that if you have the right attitude, high level of interest, and you are coherent: you can receive as much as 7% of what is being said. Word based communication.
Re-listening or re-reading the same thing won’t improve the percentage much. Why? Because what you think is there replaces, effectively, what you hear or read the second time.
This is what is normal.
What is also normal is to believe that you got 100%. And for the speaker to think that you can get more than 7%.
The current state of human intelligence… and I mean the overall intelligence, can be easily tracked on detective movies… British ones are more honest than American movies.
As you may know, I like to watch those… I learn from them as much as from any course, while I am entertained as well.
The quality of a person’s life, your life, boils down to actions… and each and every action is a result of a choice.
The accuracy of your actions is a function of how many patterns you recognize in the world.
Yesterday I had an “energy healer” type of person on the Open Mic aka Talk to Me webinar.
Normally these webinars are really fun: we talk. Students ask questions, some great, some simple and to the point… they have fun, I have fun, and our relationship deepens.
Yesterday was a different kind of session: there was this “energy healer” guy… and he was into arguing, debating, talking about what he thinks, what he learned, blah blah blah.
He considered my webinar his forum to disseminate his wisdom. His learning. His take on the world.

One of the things that immediately de-fuses an explosive situation, being frazzled, stress, etc. is accurately identifying what is going on, where you are at.
It takes stepping outside of the situation, looking at it from there, to identify what is going on.
You may have over committed… and so you are overwhelmed
You may have made promises without consulting the people you live with, and so your are out of integrity
You may be trying to prove that you are special… so you are in greed
etc.
Once you see exactly what the situation is, restoring peace, restoring calm, restori
Talk therapy doesn’t work. Coaching doesn’t work. Transformational programs don’t work. ((There are a few programs that claim to use energies, but in my experience those programs don’t work either. Why? Because the energies are not precise. They may cause temporary improvement, but won’t effect the DNA, where the capacity needs to be turned on for lasting transformation to become possible… Possible, but not certain, by the way. Read on, I’ll explain why it is not certain.))
But why? And if they don’t work: why are there so many testimonials on the internet?
These programs don’t work, because at best they give you tempo
I had an interesting experience, very much in line with the Humility process I teach:
A client of mine wrote to me today recommending I check out a weight loss doctor. I did.
I went through an online self-evaluation which took me to a page where I could order my personalized regimen to lose the weight I carry on my belly…
I kept on bringing an open mind, curiosity… and finally ended up with what I could have started: I know nothing about weight loss… and I am not qualified to help people with their weight. Hm…
