When I have an unexpected feeling or emotion, I look for a context, because context is decisive. This morning I had heart symptoms. When you have a symptom, it is important to know what is causing it, because your actions … Continue reading

Updated: How to use context to be more astute, and feel better?
I am finding out that you’ve been thinking in terms of to-do lists to get things done. I find to-do lists daunting. The biggest problem with to-do lists is that it kills the spirit in things. The second biggest problem … Continue reading

I have ten unfinished articles on my desktop. It doesn’t feel I have enough to say in any of them to make them a real article.
This one is starting out the same way, to become an unfinished article. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to make it a good article.
The base of this article an insight I had just now, five minutes ago.
The situation was: I have been screwing up everything I touched today. Watch my language, by the way.
So, I told myself: “Don’t be a jumping jack. Look before you leap.”
I closed my eyes, and I heard the little voice say: “I don’t know what to look at!” Whiny tone, imagine a 3 year old saying it.

Which is the most important when it comes to succeeding in the world?
Keeping your word, especially the word that you gave to yourself is a big issue… This article is digging deep for the causes and the solutions.
I am removing people from my Reclaim program, left and right, for inactivity. If you don’t have at least one written coaching conversation with me a week, you are put on the “to be removed” list. Why? Because if you are not doing the work you shouldn’t be in the program.
If you are not coming for the coaching… then I have a good idea how your life looks.
This was probably one of the most shocking things I learned in self-development, right up there with “you think you see everything, but you only see what you have already seen”.
Both insights were upsetting, and started to break up the world-view, the mythical, magical world view, that “I can do anything I put my mind to.”

You know what you want. And you want to march to it now. But of course the world doesn’t work that way, you need to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, job, family…
Then opportunities knock. For some, opportunities for fun and companionship. For others, adventure, business, learning.
They say: don’t take your eyes off the ball… That turns out to be another myth that takes away your power to reach your goal, to get what you want.
Nothing can be reached by a straight line, except the refrigerator, the TV and your bed. Oh, and facebook and youtube… Even my site…
So how does this really work?

It’s Sunday, and as usual, I had a profound conversation with my friend. We missed one Sunday in this past eight years, I think. I had more insights than in a normal month… and here are a few: 1. We … Continue reading

I had a conversation about 30 years ago with a fellow Hungarian. We were both Landmark “graduates” and assisted our asses off.
“Assisting” is a cheap way to feel superior without having to earn your stripes.
He was an artist, a painter, who was in the US because his wife fell ill with cancer, and needed special treatment. In spite of all, she died, and he was stuck here. Didn’t want to return to Venezuela, didn’t want to go back to Hungary, but his existence in the US was touch and go.
He didn’t feel like producing the “art” that had been earning him a living: kitch sold in furniture stores, mass produced by an artist. Slave labor, mind numbing, and killing the artist within.
It was late in the evening, and we chatted, intimately, like friends that we weren’t.
The simile, or analogy, or metaphor, whatever you want to call it, came up:
If you were stranded on an island, how far would you swim to see if there are any ways to escape and return to civilization?
Continue reading “How far from your island are you willing to swim?”
Being here and now has been a favorite topic of all the fake gurus. What is a guru? A guru is a person who can teach. I said teach, I didn’t say TALK! All the gurus I know are big … Continue reading
