Without a new context your life will remain the same
Okay. This audio is still going to be about context.
I am getting requests to help people change their context or create a new context, such that life starts turning with this new context, so what am I talking about?
Life is co-created and life happens inside the context that you live in.

What is the shelf life of your word?
transcript:
Okay. This is part two for whatever day it is. Thursday. So what I said in the previous segment is that until you can tell the difference between what you say and what the machine says, there’s no chance that you can change your context. Now, it’s a little bit deeper than that. Because … and that’s why without integrity nothing works. It’s an integrity issue. Now, we consider integrity in a very pedestrian way. You don’t cheat, you don’t lie, you keep the Ten Commandments and all that morality issue. But, that is not what integrity really is.
Integrity is that, but it is just the bottom of integrity. The real integrity has something to do with word.
Questions that turn on your power, your personal power
What are the questions that awaken and pull things to yourself to become cause? To get access to your personal power?
Agreement 1: Be Impeccable With Your Word: question: was I impeccable with my word?
Agreement 2: Don’t Take Anything Personally: question: did I take something personally?
Agreement 3: Don’t Make Assumptions. question: did I make an assumption?
Agreement 4: Always Do Your Best. question: did I do my best?
more questions to ask:
What could I be responsible for to get access to power?
What am I doing?
what am I assuming/thinking?
What am I taking personally?
what is my attitude?
What am I expecting?
What am I going for/intention?
how wide am I looking?
What am I stingy about?
where am I erring on the side of ‘it’s my way or the highway’?
Until you get responsibility good and going, nothing else can change in your life.

What can a one-track pony teach you?
I have been, I am just noticing, making myself miserable.
What got me out of that direction down to desperation, ultimately, a Carlos Castaneda quote:

Happiness or misery… the invisible dynamic
Tikkun is a Hebrew word, means correction.
I am yet to hear a Westerner, or an Easterner use the word: correction. The world, nowadays, is into “fixing”.
Fixing is an ugly world, immediately signaling what the speaker sees, that there is something wrong and it urgently needs to be fixed, because it is wrong that it is. Reactive.
But when emotions run high, the cone of vision narrows, your intelligence plummets, and stupid as the stupid does, your fixing creates new problems, that are the next thing to fix.
Compare that with the approach of correction… course correction… returning to the path of true north.

Principle: Make your plane land on the landing strip, regardless of the weather
I have been “harping” on this with my students: hear the principle first, and then hear the rest…
If I asked you (Cinderella) to separate the wheat from the chaff… what would you do first? If you are like me, you first find out what is the difference… in looks, in weight, and then start separating them accordingly.
I even used to use this capacity (oh, forgot to say, it’s a capacity!) to hire or not hire someone to work with me. I would ask someone to separate a pile of things by their category…
For you Everything is the same as everything else … except not always
Universally missing capacity… I found out. The underlying capacity can be said with these words: be able to tell the forest for the trees.

Frames… what they are, and how they limit your success, your happiness, your health…
Everybody talks about subconscious beliefs, but I have seen no evidence that there is such a thing. On the other hand almost no one is talking about what’s REALLY limiting you in life: your frames.
If you call something that it is not, you take away the power from the individual… and set them up to pay through the nose, and still remain the same.
Some people are masterful with frames, and their wealth is a testament to that… Tony Robbins is one of these guys.
I have been listening to this investment banker, Oren Klaff, who wrote a book (Pitch Anything) and is now speaking to crowds successfully.
His job is do or die… raise the money or die… every day.
Or as a public speaker, raise the enthusiasm of the crowd… or die.
What’s his secret?
Frames. Controlling the frames inside which people listen to him.

Recognize the deadly undertow… the rip current…
There is a saying: man makes plans, god laughs… but how do you explain it without god… I am an atheist. This article is about what it means “god laughs” and what happens to you and your plans if you don’t know what it means, and how to recognize it.
I found something I have never seen before.
As I have said before, the case, your case, is a shape-shifter, and it knows more tricks than are found in all the trick books out there.
As you know, my case is that I am dead, should be dead, who knows how long I have…
Now, learning, starting a new business, learning a software is for the long term. And I have found myself a non-starter in that. I have more programs I have never even started to work with that cost me more money than I could afford.
And I never understood why I don’t do anything with them.

Misery: When you are locked into your own perspective of things…
The biggest difference between animals and humans is the capacity to being aware of your effect on another or your environment
They say that the biggest difference between animals and humans is the capacity of being self-aware… but I say that it isn’t so… it is being aware of how you appear to others.
In my coaching calls, whether it is a mindset call, or a marketing call, the biggest issue I see is that people are locked into their own perspective of things.
One of my students asked me to help her create a way to have an enjoyable July 4th holiday with her family.
She is away in school, and while she is away, her husband needs to take care of everything, including taking care of the children, and all the chores she did before she went away to school.
She commutes back for weekends, and she says her husband has a permanent scowl on his face.
