What is the real meaning of little hinges swing big doors? What glorious thing can it mean to you and your entrepreneurial aspirations?
Without understanding that life is a collection of interactive systems, without understanding the seesaw principle, without being able to create, manage, and tweak systems. your life will work as it has always worked. just barely…

Prison Break or the Art of Questions…
What could someone do when the world, your health, your body, your relationships are not going the way they should… do anything other than be complacent, resigned, live in quiet desperation?
I always had this question, but reading the Fatemarks series the question is getting louder in my head.
On the internet

Here is an identity, a life script I have been a slave to.
I am up against impossible odds… and yet I can win. Look a me! Look at me!
It’s both funny and tragic.
It was pointed out to me back 1987, but I wasn’t ready to get it.
I KNOW that if you look first, look at what is there to do, the layout, the situation, then the success is almost certain.
But where is the fun!? Screams the identity. Let’s make it hard and let’s win against impossible odds!

If, and when you manage to get out from behind your own eyeballs, you make someone happy… what just happened?
I have been alive for 75 years. I have experienced being made happy, made proud, only a few times.
What makes anyone happy is when what they do is acknowledged as useful. When they find that they were instrumental is someone else’s success, or happiness.
Not what you thought?

I finally figured out what it is that attracts me to certain novels, certain movies, certain TV series… and repels me from others. What it is that I am muscletesting.
I am looking for goodness.
But goodness only exists in contrast.
So only the books qualify where the main character has both good and bad and in the struggle, the good wins… Also where the evil is strong, the pull to give up or to give in is strong.
As the Kabbalists say: only if and when you overcome the Opponent that you are good… for the moment.

I had this weird question this morning: what would I miss if I were ‘torn’ away from ‘home’?
I would miss playing Freecell. Maybe I would miss my first cup of tea in the morning. I would miss writing an article. I would miss talking to you.
Citizen Kane missed being young. Sliding down the hill on his sled… the rush of the slide, the freedom of winter, the yelling…
When I look back, leaving a country is a lot like that.

The other day I wrote about ‘It’s the system, stupid!’ the cause of misery.
The question I am not sure I answered is this: what is this system?
So in yesterday’s Friday Podcast, I looked with Bonnie, what is the system, really. The Friday Podcast is a one-on-one coaching. I am the coach, and Bonnie is the coaching client. It is real, not play acting.
And what I saw is that the system is really the seed level of a person, of an organization, of a business. The seed level.

I don’t remember why, but I signed up to Simpleology, Mark Joyner’s program.
He created a new comic strip, the everyman’s superpower, and, of course, sold it with the same thing he advocates in the comic strip: desire.
Desire, what YOU know as desire, is a lower self vibration, fueled by greed, sexual energy, hunger, anger, vengeance, jealousy, anger… not something you want a lot of.
And even though it is a strong energy, and it may take you to success in some areas, it is destructive of who you are as a person, who you are as a higher consciousness specimen of the species.
I should already be used to it!
“Source”, or whatever it is I am talking to all day, is steering me to do work I didn’t intend to do: experience, test, fall flat on my face, half-kill myself or my business or my relationships.
OK, here is the havoc I have wreaked as a result of this “steering”…

Bad news. On my way home, climbing the long stairway off Euclid Avenue, I was listening to Step 21 of the 67 Steps. It’s about the superpower of being able to get into a relationship with people. Get into a relationship because you can see how their machine works. and because you see it, therefore you can speak their language.
Everything comes to you through people… and…
…you cannot get more abundance than what your people skills allow you to have.
I have been resigned about my ability to get better at dealing with people.
Resigned means: I have a fixed mindset about it, that says: it may be possible for you, but it’s impossible for me.
But being resigned doesn’t mean I have given up. I haven’t. But every time I read someone’s stuff, or watch someone’s stuff who is good at it, and maybe that is their superpower, I resent them. I do. Not nice, I know, but it is how it is.
It goes hand in glove with resignation.

If I could turn it back into money, all the things I bought that didn’t bring me any benefit, my expenses would be covered for a year, maybe more.
That is a lot of time I wasted, because I work for my money. Every penny of it.
For about a decade I owned a magazine that catered to adult entertainment. So I had a chance to observe. Observe the men who showered money on it, and entertainers who showered the same money on dudes who put it up their noses.
In this week’s Borowitz Report Andy Borowitz says: U.S.A. the Envy of World After Ten Billion Dollars in Campaign Ads Changes Almost Nothing.
