The biggest differentiator between a successful, happy, balanced, unbroken person, and someone with a life not worth writing home about is their relationship to failures.
Yes. Plural.
Wanting only successes is like wanting to walk but never take a step with your left leg… Unnatural and … and why would you want that?
Everything in life has a rhythm, sex, breathing, eating and elimination… everything.

Frustration has two causes: 1. wanting 2. expecting. Unfulfilled desires, unfulfilled expectations. Horrid.
You want more, better, different… Or you expect more better or different.
Either way, you are acting consistent with what society, what civilization wants you to be… not with Life.
More, more, more is the battle cry of consumerism. Industry, business wants to make more and sell more. So YOU cry for more, because you are told the secret to happiness is more. More this and more that.
You find out you are copper deficient (isn’t everybody, by the way?) and you ask: what has copper. Let me ADD some of that to my food… your food that already keeps you 20-30-40 pounds overweight.
Cyber week… Tai Lopez sells his four courses for the price of one… and plenty buy… want more, buy more!

I read this quote in an email today.
‘I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.’ — Georgia O’Keeffe.
What she doesn’t know, that if and when you become new, bigger, etc. then you’ll be yourself… but bigger… And in the meantime it won’t be very pleasant to grow. There is an expression: growing pains… and it is true, it is real.
This quote could be your slogan while you go through the brain balancing sequence for the next weeks, months, so you emerge more whole, more complete than you have ever hoped to be.
And you’ll need it.
If you think it is difficult and painful get your car out from two vehicles that are an inch from your car… then you know what we are doing… it takes tens, maybe hundreds of small moves for the brain to re-adjust to the new constellation and be stable again.
I may be going through it more dramatically than you are… let’s hope it’s so.

You have to have vision… you read it in memes, in articles, but you don’t know what vision is, so how can you have it, right?
I have students, friends, who think they have vision for themselves, but what they have is the desire trap syndrome: they see pieces of the future that they want. They can walk around in it, enjoy it, embellish it, feel it, dream about it. Fly the private jet to have breakfast in Bombay, or drink margaritas on the pristine white sands of some private island.

If you have lived a lifestyle that left you with no foundation for self-growth is answering the question… what comes first: the chicken or the egg.
You, people in this predicament have one characteristic in common: you don’t want to do anything that you cannot see the immediate usefulness of it.
Usefulness can also be enjoyment… enjoyment is useful.
This common characteristic has rendered you to either rely on your quick intelligence in school, and you had reasonable to good grades, or you had bad grades… the result in common: no knowledge of the world, no foundation for self-growth, because no real learning took place.
The percentage of humanity that would like to grow, but has nothing going for them, other than that vague desire, is a staggering 70%. 70%!
Do you BELIEVE you have permission to be happy, joyful, successful?
What’s the difference between believing and knowing?
Let me preface that belief is a human word… Source says that what we call belief is really using our word to create a personal reality… So what we call belief is really words considered reality… You’ll see why this is an important distinction in a sec…
If you haven’t read the relationship between reality and personal reality, read some of my older articles… like this one. We call personal reality ‘occurrence’ there.
Yesterday I went over to my new next door neighbors to pet the two dogs they have, and we chatted.
I considered wearing a mask, and I decided against it.

You know, it is really true that your environment, the people with whom you identify and spend the most time with have more to do with who you are going to be, what you are going to do, what your main concerns in life will be, than anything else.
I have been observing people, some more than others.
Some are genuinely talented… and yet their whole world is low vibration, their approach to the world is an incoherent mix of low vibration consistent with their friends’ and their main concerns, while high vibration would be consistent with their inner potential.
One example for this is Tai Lopez.
His friends are low vibration, lowbrow… you could say.

Changing your brain: can it change your life? I say it can… Part of it is the Hero program that I also call the GABA program.
WTF, right? What does GABA have to do with anything? It sounds unlikely… even if you know what GABA is… but it does.
There are two important brain centers in this regard: beliefs, convictions, worldview… that unless it changes, unless the beliefs, convictions, worldview can change, your actions and your attitudes will remain the same.
And because your actions are what produce everything that you ever wanted… and if you don’t like what you have produced, then you are sh!t out of luck… and that is where all the science, all the courses, all the books, all the brilliant theories are dumbfounded… because, gulp, no one has been able to change their opinions about themselves and about the world enough for it to be able to change their lives.
The examples we hear are…

It’s been stormy here. Lots of rain. The other night a warning went out: a tornado was poised to touch down in Central New York: not a tornado area.
Reality.
Nothing is wrong: as long as reality works the way reality works, all is well… even if it rains on your parade, even if you hate doing your morning walk trudging through mud, even if you are not prepared like I wasn’t.

George Bernard Shaw wrote more than a hundred years ago: “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”
And what he wrote about you, being a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances… is more true today than it was in his time.
No one has offered a solution to that issue until now.
