Is it self-sabotage if you never intended to succeed? Only to HAVE?
Asked in another way: can you sabotage your success if you just dream about success, as a destination, but never about the path, the work, the effort to get there.
Or can you sabotage your dreams?

Desire is a mental energy. And it is impossible to desire something, something you have not first imagined or seen.
So desire is comparing an image of something and the way it is in reality. That gap is what is called desire.
Now, desire has this imagination element, that shows the object of desire, the finished ‘product’ as if it were already reality. And in that mistake, in that mirage lies the mischief.

I spent yesterday reading the novel the 1997 Dutch film (Character) was based upon. Of course they changed a few things, and the film left me in deep quandary. The title didn’t make sense. The whole dynamic didn’t make sense. So I read the book.
Most movies’ ending is clear… this is probably only the second movie that left me with questions: WTF just happened? The other movie is the 2002 Chinese movie “Together”.
Anyway, I read the Character book. It was written in 1938.
I did learn what the title was about. And I learned a lot more.
This article is not about the movie, this article is about what makes a man a Man.

The path from the present moment to the ready is long and arduous, unless it is as easy as making a cup of coffee… when you have coffee, water, and a coffee maker.
But most things are not simple, and only happen over time.
Here is an example:
A few years ago I started to provide water for the birds. I live on the edge of a small wild woods… a few acres on the side of a hill that is too steep to build on. We have deer, skunks, racoon, badger, lots of squirrels, and a ton of birds.

I am getting hundreds of requests for Starting Point Measurements. That includes me measuring your vibration… human vibration, vibrational frequency, whatever you call it…
Ultimately there is one thing in common among the emotional responses: disappointment.
A lot of people think that their numbers, their vibration should be higher. Why? Because they are good people. Because they are charitable, kind, nice, don’t kill puppies, and volunteer… whatever b.s. is considered high vibration nowadays.
But the vibration number shows one thing and one thing only: how much your behavior is informed by reality and how much is informed by b.s., rules, myths, ideas, that ignore reality.
And your vibration number is low.

I have been pretty dumbfounded lately by my findings. As you know I use muscletesting while connected to Source to glean insights into things…
It has given me the “Forest Whitaker eye” lol.
Here are a few examples:
1. I have already shared that it took me testing 20 pages of Turmeric products to find one that tested yes. Price, label, manufacturer, story didn’t matter… and when I actually bought it and used it, the results were miraculous. Beyond my wildest expectations.But what was wrong with the rest?
2. I had the same experience with Potassium, which I need almost daily… And in the end I bought one that works.What is wrong with the rest of them?
3. Sulphur… edible sulphur, a main component of bones…
4. Egg shells… this was really just out of curiosity: I am making my own egg shell capsules from the eggs I have used.
I am thinking of selling them… what do you think? Best calcium ever, but it’s a lot of work to prepare the egg shells…
The stuff heroes made of. Not ordinary.
What was in The Secret movie and The Secret book is plain bullshit. Plain and simple.
What we call ordinary is ugly. Being stopped by fear. Being stopped by doubts. Being stopped by laziness. Being stopped by anything.
You get a great idea, or an invitation, and you see that pursuing would take you to a place you’d like to be… but.
That but, that pesky but, is what is between you and becoming a person. And you know it. So you struggle with the shame, and regret… but that is just more of the same.
The only thing that conquers that “but” is action.
But… but you have learned, wrongly, that one action is all it takes to get from where you are to where you want to be.
In this article I am using an example in which we are starting a new business with the Kaizen way… a business that is going to succeed and more importantly, where growing it causes the owner of the business to grow into the kind of person who can… can make a lot of money, can sustain growth, can have it all… can build a life worth living.
So, this article will be about change, or better said the art of change.
Change is scary, mainly because it is a disruption. And it also requires one to know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
Working with me is designed to cause lasting changes… but it is really always up to you.

I have found this article on the Inc.com website
Some of it is true, some of it was new-agey b.s. So I am culling it… And in some of them I am going to add my two cents worth… for example the pursuit of happiness… I have learned something about that from Ayn Rand that surprised me.
Just one more thing: my students in my coaching program struggle with the concept of principle.
A principle is a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.
A principle is not something that you just pull out of your, ahem, mind. We all want to be “independent thinkers” but the path to independent thinking is through learning the principles others discovered… precisely, verbatim. So, for our purposes: a principle is quoted from someone a lot smarter than us.
A quote. not rephrased, not your take on it, but a quote. Not every quote is a principle, but every principle is a quote.
These so called truths are not principles. They are the author’s opinions. Don’t honor them as principles… And if you find that your life is based on personal opinions… try to find principles to replace them with. Really. Every single one of them. You’ll thank me for it, guaranteed.
You’ll notice that I am a lot more interested in giving you the principle of principle guidedness… than those brutal truths the guy made up… Sorry guy!
20 Brutal Truths About Life No One Wants to Admit
I have been doing a lot of work while I seemingly do nothing… or not much.
Something is driving me…
I used to say it this way: “I can’t do no other”…
