Regardless of what you do, how you do it, how good or bad your life is… you are always stuck… Stuck in some deep bad place, or stuck on a plateau… stuck is stuck.
So learning what keeps you stuck and how to unstuck yourself, at will, is one of the most important things you can do… and the sooner the better. Because being stuck is not fun.
Cognitive biases, those knee jerk reaction tiny pieces of automatic responses, are at the root of your misery.
The question is: where are you get your stories from? Most of you get it in gossip. Many get it in soap operas as well… not much better than gossip. I recommend that you read. Quality novels or short stories… It enriches, while gossips or gossipy TV shows don’t. Neither do romance novels… You need to satisfy the hunger, but just like with food, some foods nurture, others fill you up with crap. So choose wisely.

Every plant, every animal contains toxins that it developed to protect itself from being eaten and extinguished… The selfish gene makes sure of that. Your body, ancestrally, developed a liking and a tolerance to certain foods… that allowed it to survive. It takes a long time for a group of people to create an ess with certain foods. What makes the Japanese thrive may kill you… What an Irish can subsist on will kill you… What a Kenyan runner thrives on is murder for you… or can be. With grocery stores carrying foods from so many continents you are not safe and you don’t thrive. How many individuals do you know that thrive? I don ambition, motivation, and will power You want to be someone who can do things, who want to do things, who actually does things? This article will answer some of your questions. I am reading a book, Diet Cults. The author and the book itself is as cultish as the diet cults it writes about, nevertheless it is worth my time to read it. On thing I found interesting is his “dissertation” about the importance and the effect of motivation in losing weight and maintaining the weight loss once the ideal weight is achieved. What he is saying is that one needs a motivation, which I would rename, for the purposes of clarity, an outside or inside goal… According to the dictionary, “the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.” Or secondarily “the general desire or willingness of someone to do something” But if you look at the root of the word, motivation is a power that moves you. Motivation is literally the desire to do things. A subtle inner force. It is like a push to start… or alternatively refrain from starting. So which one would you rather have? If you have bad habits, which will pull you out and keep you out best? Which will get you out of bed and pull on your walking shoes when you are tired and the bed is beckoning? Which one will stop your hand halfway to your mouth with the cookie you swore would lay off? My hunch is that it is indeed MOTIVATION. Why? Because motivation seems to be an ongoing, 24 hours a day power, that gently moves you, or attempts to move you, until you are ready to move. Ambition, because it is a wholly outside, worldly result, will make you a fanatic, a workaholic, an overachiever, much like greed. Ambition is so strong, that it may even make you step on other people to achieve what you set out to achieve. And will power makes you brittle, and gritting teeth… no lightness, no grace in it. Forcing. But, the question is, how to you get motivated if there is no motivation inside. Thousands of motivational speakers have discovered that most people have no motivation, but would like results nevertheless. So they talk… but the effect of their talks is temporary at best. The same is the purpose of the millions of inspirational memes on the internet: to motivate and inspire people, but without an inner source of motivation, they don’t even make a ripple on the dead inner surface of most people. My hunch is that no motivation is often born with… and the rest of unmotivated people, about 30% of that crowd, is the lasting effect of parental disapproval syndrome: on one hand wanting to please the parent, on the other hand only perfection pleases the parent, so people try and give up. But what if you were born without motivation? According to my conversations with Source, entire cultures are people born without motivation. Motivation is a sign that a self is present. A person with a self is further along in evolutionary terms than a person without a self. The self is a uniquely human phenomenon. Each and every person can awaken the self… and I have students who have, or who are working on it… Once the self becomes fully available, motivation, inner motivation becomes also available… And of course there are degrees. On avarage, measured today, the self is opened up on average about 10%, the pool includes the 40% with not even an inkling of self, and the rest with different degrees of flowering. I have found that reading my articles, and especially participating in my coaching program, inevitably awakens the self. So what can you do if you don’t want to read my articles and don’t want to be in my coaching program? You can do what the articles say you should do: find external motivation, or pray for rain. And I have been testing a third method: altering your self-image… I’ll report on my findings in this same forum. Unless you are my student, or you’ve read about the selfish gene, you don’t know what I am talking about. It’s about evolution. It’s about the genes that use life-forms as vehicles for their own purposes. A pigeon is a life form, and it is a vehicle for its selfish genes. With the new phenomenon: consciousness, humans are at odds with their own genes… the “vehicle” is revolting again The way scientists, medical practitioners, diet-cults, pharmaceutical companies work is called linear reductionism… (( noun A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pat Motto: Mentor: Someone whose hindsight can become your foresight In 1981 I got a letter from a man from Israel. He claimed to be a second cousin on my father’s side to me. He was coming to an educational conference in Hungary. He came with his wife. We spent time together, they were staying with me, in my one-bedroom high-rise apartment in Budapest. He visited with every member of my family, and witnessed their contempt for me first hand. He promised to be family to me if I decided to go to Israel. One year later I packed a suitcase and left Hungary. illegally. It was winter in Hungary when I left, in fact it w Update: This article was written two years ago, and a lot has happened, but we never again addressed these life-suckers… Since we are working on anchor-to-doom and the actions necessary to live a life not determined by the doom… we probably will need to talk about these minor anchors… the topic of this article. These keep us stuck, suck our aliveness, curtail our successes, and make us inauthentic and pretending. So they are important. I don’t like those feelings, so I learn, test, experiment with methods that allow me to be free. I even like to be lighter in weight because I don’t like to be heavy in any way, including physically. I handle problems, issues, doubts, the same way… handle them so the weights can disappear. Nicht Normale… as my parents used to say. Not your normal child… lol. And not your normal adult. They are not that way… obviously. Becoming that person is like being a Michelangelo at the stone quarry looking at a block of marble and seeing if the sculpture they see with their mind’s eye fits it. If it doesn’t fit, you need a bigger block of marble. But no matter how big a block you choose, it will take two kinds of work to get to the David of your imagination: the work of awareness and the work of chiseling. Chiseling is the easy part… honestly. I bet you thought that was the hard part.

If you are human, you are hungry for stories — the power of reading
It seems that to be human is to crave stories. So, if you are reading this, you crave stories.
More health knowledge… I’ve learned the hard way
You eat what you are, you crave what you are 004 motivation ambition will-power
Why are people dead? Were they born dead inside?
Stuck in an ess? Not a good place? how to create a new ess that is more conducive to health, wealth, and fulfillment?
OK, let’s start at the beginning. What is an ess… right? lol. Evolutionary Stable Strategy… ess.
A worm is also a life form, and so is an elephant.
Human is also a life-form, the only one, so far, that is in conflict with the selfish gene. Self-image: unless you see yourself doing it… you won’t do it.
Sounds simple, right? self-image means: how you see yourself… but nothing internal is as simple and as straight as that?

the theory that every complex phenomenon, especially in biology or psychology, can be explained by analyzing the simplest, most basic physical mechanisms that are in operation during the phenomenon.
2.
the practice of simplifying a complex idea, issue, condition, or the like, especially to the point of minimizing, obscuring, or distorting it.

Update August 2016: I think this article goes really well with my “giants” article, so I am republishing it, yet again. It is germane, apropos, relevant to the new discovery I am sharing in that article today. The two types of “getting things done” systems… and what people really do
I have always liked getting things done. Why? Because everything that doesn’t get done is like an energetic attachment, like a ball and chain on your ankle, slows you down, and prevents you from soaring… having a good time, feeling free and unencumbered.
Knowledge is power… but not all knowledge
People want to become the person they are in their dreams…
