Goals and values

We are taught by most everyone to set goals. But goals are a double edged sword.

Let’s see why? A goal is a specific measurable tangible PUBLIC result, set in time. What result by what time…

Getting happier, making more money, etc. are not goals, they are yearnings.

If we wanted to turn them into goals, they would look like this:

The allure of fast… fast money, fast success, fast learning, fast reading

I write about what is not obvious…

I have said before, that when you feel envy, when you feel a pang of envy looking at someone’s result, accomplishments, you feel guidance.

You want what they have, and it points to an area of growth, an area of training where you have enough energy to get to the same level, or maybe even beyond.

A year or so ago I was still a blob… Overweight. I saw it mostly on Tuesdays, when I looked at myself in the big wall covering mirror in during the exercise class.

One of the women, long white hair, was my opposite: shapely. She even had a waist… lol. I didn’t.
I looked at her, and said to her: I want what you have.

Why can’t you be deliberate? Deliberate practice… mastery… sound so good!


Deliberate… the opposite of sloppy, floppy, mindless way you now operate

We are all big on what to do… what to eat, what to read, what this and what that… and no one is teaching us how… I don’t necessarily mean the moves… that is not how, that is still what.
The how is somewhat invisible.
Easy… that is a how.
Sloppy, floppy, mindless… these are all hows.
And you guessed right: deliberately… is a how that very few people even begin to know.

So when you watch a youtube video, or an Olympic athlete, you see easy, grace, but you don’t see deliberate.

I am old, and finally I decided to live to the end of my life expectancy, which, obviously requires of me some different things. Eat differently, move differently, think differently.

So as part of this new plan, I watched a core strengthening exercises video on youtube. It was just uploaded two days ago.

How to Manifest Anything or the Missing Piece of the Law of Attraction Puzzle

How to Manifest Anything or the Missing Piece of the Law of Attraction Puzzle: Desire or How to Be in Vibrational Harmony With Money, Love, and Success

The rudderless, directionless, low energy, and the floater

I had a conversation the other day with my core group. They felt to me rudderless, directionless, low on energy… like a floater.

What’s a floater, you ask? A floater is like stork sh!t… floats in the air and occasionally drops on the ground. Storks are known to poop while in the air… their poop dries out and starts its own rise and fall journey with the air stream… no innate motive power. A floater is like that.

I grew up hating America

I grew up hating America. I cringed when I heard the actors speak in movies.

Today, in the “rabbit hole” of the Monday Morning Memo, I was lead to Paul Harvey, a famous radio broadcaster. I listened to a couple of his audios, and that searing, deep hate came back.

So I am sitting here and contemplating.

The hate reaction was instantaneous, but what to think… that needs to be cogitated, contemplated, in silence, without taking sides.

I look if it is the content and yes and no… so it is not the content. It is the audio.

The radio style copied by many, including Roy Williams of the Monday Morning Memo.

A skeptic, a critic, a hater, a dogmatic person, and a true believer…

This article is 90% quote from Rob Brezsny… on true skepticism versus pseudo-skepticism:

It’s timed perfectly (it landed in my inbox this morning) given my new passion of proving that the diet industry, the food industry, the medical “industry” financed by the pharmaceutical industry (66 billion dollars a year!) is out to milk you, alive or dead, for their own profit and to the detriment of you and the detriment of humanity.

How I do that, whether I am a true skeptic or a pseudo-skeptic should make a huge difference… a pesudo-skeptic is a believer who has given up thinking, proving, questioning, doubting, and intelligence.

You be the judge.

Do you get discouraged? Bored? Leave stuff unfinished?


If you buy stuff, start stuff because you see where it can take you, but shortly after you run out of steam, and drop it, because suddenly it doesn’t feel important, or doesn’t inspire you, you may want to attend my free Talk To Me webinar on Wednesday, February 28. 4 pm…

I will teach you a new way to look at where you are, what you are accomplishing, so you can maintain a high enough enthusiasm so you can take a project to its culmination, to a place where you actually benefit from it.

I’ll teach you what about how you view a project, a goal, a dream disempowers you and fills you with self-doubt, and maybe even despair.

Or maybe fear?

The Anatomy Of Guidance: Ask For Guidance And Get The Guidance. Bagdad Cafe

Guidance: How to Ask And Get Guidance
I have been asking for guidance, ever since I discovered that I can.

According to Kabbalah, an 6000-year body of knowledge, the mistake I need to correct in this lifetime is thinking and behaving like there is nothing and no one who can know better than me.

My life had been, before my discovery, an exact match to that behavior, not very attractive, is it?

Fear in reality vs fear in the cave… Are they different?

Every living thing must have fear or they would be dead already… meaning the species. Fear is a useful warning that life is dangerous, and every species is the food of another one.

So we have a reason to be afraid. In reality. Animals, cars, other people… all good reasons.

In reality fear is like a nudge.
