How did you get to be the way you are? Do you know?

When you ask that question, How did you get to be the way you are? people say: my family, my religion, my past, what happened to me.

But maybe not. Maybe what makes you, every moment, the way you are is not the past, but the future you are living into.

What future? The future you decided on back when you were little…

Let me explain:

On being trainer, a leader… upsetting the apple cart and what YOU can learn from that

On being trainer, a leader… allowing someone to upset the apple cart and what YOU can learn from that.

It’s Sunday, so I permit myself a little more time to find out what is other people’s agenda… i.e. I read some emails in my inbox.

I do it randomly: I allow the spirit to move my hand that holds the mouse.

I think my conscious mind is completely disengaged: I am not looking for anything in particular: I have more on my plate than I can handle, thank you very much.

THE HAND opens a video. Brendon Burchard pitch video for High Performance Academy. Something about getting things done.

It auto-starts… I scramble for my headset. I catch the tail end of his introduction… I am drawn into the video… and then, suddenly, I need to go to the bathroom, blah blah blah.

Hm. I always pay attention when something is “suddenly”.

Resistance.

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging

We used to think that if we invented ourselves as something great, we could be great.

In essence, that is what we thought Landmark Education was teaching, and maybe on some level they did.

The formula was ‘Invent a possibility for yourself and your life… so you would say: I am the possibility of being smart (whatever)…’

But what our ego heard is this is how to fix our puny, worthless self, and we either said ‘nah, can’t do it!’ or we got again entangled in the fixing cycle…

Without hate you can’t have love. Or is it the other way?

Without great love you can’t have hate.

And without great love you can’t have courage.

Most of my clients, and I suppose most people are cold fish. The don’t feel deeply, there is no great love and there is no great hate in them.

Are the people who are ‘pro-life’ lovers of life, and haters of death? No, they have no love in their hearts, therefore the hate they espouse is fake. They just want to be right.

The enemy of love is indifference. And the enemy of hate is indifference.

And what allowed for every single evil to happen in the world is indifference.

The $100 loan and other distinctions that raise your vibration

The $100 loan and other distinctions

In 1998 I needed a major surgery. I had been ill for almost a year then. No insurance, no money, no family.

I had a magazine that was just sitting there: I wasn’t well enough to actually do the work and publish new issues. My staff long gone, I was silently dying. I was losing blood at an alarming rate, and my mind was going foggier by the day.

What do I intend to leave behind as my legacy?


You live a sheltered life. Either restricted to a small area of the world physically, or to a small area of the world experientially.

So you, just like your cone of vision would predict, have a very narrow slice of reality (the pizza pie) ever seen, heard of, played in, experienced.

One of my 67 step coaching clients says in her reports, on average 10 times each report ‘Wow! I have never thought of that’. ‘I have never considered that’. ‘Hm, I’ve never heard that before’.

Each time she says that her slice of pizza becomes just a little bit bigger.

You are stuck! Pivot points, linchpin to the rescue

You are stuck! Sticky points, pivot points, linchpin, believe me, without knowing these you can’t get unstuck.

It is coming full circle now… I have another blog, get unstuck, and it’s been largely abandoned by me, snubbed by my students as a lower grade of my work, older… lol. BTW, on Amazon it is quite popular, it is in kindle format.

And, lo and behold, the whole class is getting to the same point: they need to learn how to get unstuck.

Alex Hormozi: 14 lessons I wish I had learned earlier

don’t forget that Alex is a money/business guy. so he will almost always focus on the money. But happiness, health, satisfaction, love can be substituted wherever he talks about money


1. You make better decisions and you learn more by assuming that you’re dumber than everyone else.
the reason this was something that took me a long time to learn is that when I was in college it was all about showing how smart you were.

Money is energy. energy must move: it is its nature. moving money makes more come back to you

Kiva Loan as a vehicle to take you to a higher vibration
This will be a short post. The length of a post doesn’t indicate its significance, and in this case it definitely doesn’t.

I have been tracing it in my life and in my students life: when you are able to circulate money the energy will bring back, with itself, unexpected and welcome benefits.

When I first tested this out, I was scared. I made a commitment to a monthly donation to the Kabbalah Centre, and it was beyond my means.

Four days later, out of the blue, I was gifted 9 thousand dollars. I used some of it to pay the next 12 months worth of prepaid check go away… that was a bad move.

Everybody wants to be special… But it’s a bad idea!

Santa Klaus’s name is Mikulás in Hungary, and of course Mikulas is Saint Nicholas, and his day is December 6. So today it is gift giving day in Hungary, mostly candy and nuts and red apples… as the song goes… in Hungarian.

When people come to me to have their food list muscletested, they rarely think that the food list will ask them to go back a couple of generations to a time when eating was different: you had to buy ice to have an icebox… You gave away half of your venison, or it would rot on you. You stored up goodwill for other times by sharing when it was plenty.

I am old enough to remember those times.
