One of the best life lessons I follow, I learned in a course, 30 years ago. The course was called “more money workshop” The lesson was: sell an idea for a dollar to at least three people. It’s not easy, … Continue reading → Related Posts: How to develop the wisdom you need to be […]
Ideas are like babies… the process you need to honor to be happy, healthy, and successful
This is one article, with two separate yet connected parts.
Part 1: Flashes of brilliance
Growth is not linear. By that I mean that you don’t grow a little bit every day. It is much like evolution: something tiny changes, and it creates a dramatic shift.
When things feel linear, it also means that you are simply stirring the soup… no growth. It’s OK.
Yesterday I had a glimpse at something that I had never seen: I saw that if opportunity favors the prepared… then I am in trouble: I am not prepared for any opportunity.
I am not prepared to roll with the punches that t
How you have trained yourself to be a self-hating, powerless puppet
Consciousness, Source, is using me and my life, and my work to map out the human condition.
It’s been consciously so for about five years now.
When something, a sneaky undertow could not be seen on other people, I had to go through the experience to see it.
Without me being cheerfully game, I could say that it is the worst part of my life.
But, remember, the purpose I have invented for my life is to go to the edge, live there a bit, and come back sharing what I s
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
False starts, crushed dreams… if that’s your life… listen up
The 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.

Osho on the pathless path
THE ANCIENTS SAID:
“(SELF-)CULTIVATION TAKES AN UNIMAGINABLE TIME (WHILE) ENLIGHTENMENT IN AN INSTANT IS ATTAINED.”
IF THE TRAINING IS EFFICIENT, ENLIGHTENMENT WILL BE ATTAINED IN ONE FINGERSNAP.
IN DAYS GONE BY CH’AN MASTER HUI CHUEH OF LANG YEH MOUNTAIN, HAD A DISCIPLE WHO CALLED ON HIM FOR INSTRUCTION. THE MASTER TAUGHT HER TO EXAMINE INTO THE SENTENCE: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”
SHE FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTION STRICTLY WITHOUT BACKSLIDING.
ONE DAY HER HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE, BUT SHE SAID: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”
ANOTHER DAY, HER SON FELL INTO THE WATER AND WHEN A BYSTANDER CALLED HER, SHE
The secret sauce that makes you start having joy in your life
The fox and the hare tale: Why does a rabbit run faster than a fox? Because while the fox is running for his dinner, the rabbit is running for his life. All of life works the same way…
I have noticed that take-away, as a manipulation technique, works exceptionally well on me.
Here is how the technique works: you show something, and you state that it is only available at this price for a limited amount of time.
I find myself scrambling to get it.
Thought experiments: the wise’s way to learn, the wise’s way to win in life
- The stupid makes the same mistake, over and over, expecting different results.
- The normal person eventually learns from his mistakes, but he first has to make them, a few times…
- The wise person learns from other people’s mistakes.
Did you notice that we are not talking here about IQ? About ability?
No, the behavior ascribed to the stupid and the behavior of the wise can and often come from the same IQ.
The ability to do things differently can’t be accessed without a modicum of humility. Modicum means: a little bit.
Humility is a capacity, an attitu
Why can’t you get from A to Z? Why does it look hopeless?
Personal note: I have been in this transformation game for 31 year now. I never understood why “the human condition” was the way it was, why it was “hopeless”. I didn’t know about the selfish gene… I was completely ignorant, like most transformational teachers. Ignorant.
A little knowledge is dangerous in the hand of someone who only missed that little knowledge… me. I am now confident that with this new knowledge I can guide you to winning in life.
If you are here, then I guess everything is n
