No energy? Likely you are Twitchy Little Bastard… A Marshmallow eater…(or how to increase your Twitchy Little Bastard score)
This morning I am running on fumes…
TLB – Twitchy Little Bastard; a person who is too anxious for results. Also a person who has no ability to control his urges… like the urge to fix what they see as wrong. Continue reading “No energy? Likely you are Twitchy Little Bastard”
Every human is moved by their emotions and feelings plus thoughts: words, ideas, concepts. In this order.
The motive power, the stimulus to act comes from the feelings.
The words, ideas, concepts only modify them, or direct the actions.
Without the thoughts, the words, the ideas, every human would act the same way. They would have to.
So the main difference between people is really the words, the ideas, what they say about what they feel.
One extreme is the “Twitchy Little Bastard“, while the other extreme is Jeff Bezos.

About 14 months ago I did something that started a whole new growth period in my life.
I started to get up early.
Looking from the outside, and looking from the inside, there was more to it… and I’ll share it, because it is significant. It shows how decision-making, direction, guidance, are not a straight-forward matter: not at all. 2
OK, here is the story:
It was November 2015, and I was still licking my wounds from having lost paradise… i.e. Amazon decided that my energy products cannot be sold on Amazon.

I am continuing the “fire in the belly” concept from the previous article

I came up with the expression “top 10% of your mind” many years ago, when I was teaching the What Color is Your Parachute workshop.
It is said that you only use 5% of your brain. But, of course, you use your brain most of the time, but not for something worth using a precision instrument even the stupidest person possesses. Continue reading “How you dampen the fire that motivates you to grow”

I just realized that I left out one of the most frequent energy leaks, need leaks from the last article.
And that is the minuscule pleasure you gain when you feel clever, when you feel you got one over someone, when you are told you are clever.
Or maybe that you are pretty. Maybe some other compliment, that you are put together. Or that you do a good job. Or that someone pays attention to you. It is all the same bait.
You are the guy/gal who, when you do the five questions exercise, you pay attention to the positive feedback. When you listen to me: you are waiting for the positive feedback… and hear none of the negative, or if you do, you grieve about it, but won’t change a thing.
You are a whore for little pleasures, ego boost, ego gratification, ego stroking.
You sold who you could be for a bowl of lentils. Bowl of lentils or whatever it was that Esau sold his firstborn right to Jacob for.
As long as you are hooked on this pleasure/release, you’ll never amount to anything… guaranteed. Because anything worth achieving requires you to control the release… to bear with discomfort, to hold your peepee, so to say.
I am lucky. My parents never complimented me, so I never thought I was clever and I never thought that I don’t have to work for things.
They did tell my two brothers, though. And both of them suffered because of it.
One married someone who pushed him, the other one married someone who didn’t.
And me? I worked my ass off, got into trouble, got thrown out, was rich, was poor, went from country to country, learned seven languages, and here I am, attempting to teach you something that can change your life, that can return you to the path of becoming a person, to fulfill the Original Design.
Obviously my chances are between slim and none.
Because to change, you need to make a huge and consistent effort to take more and more discomfort, more and more pain, without trying to fix it.
Do you want to? I don’t feel that you are… but I am willing to be surprised.
Some of you are… to some degree.
If you do well with it, then you probably will do well with everything.
If you don’t… well, we know that how you do anything is how you do everything.
One good sign I have: the new clients are a whole new breed. And with them I think I can start a revolution.
The old clients, nearly all came at the time when it seemed that what I am about is doing it for you… energy healing and such.
Or: just connect to Source and get everything you wanted.
Laughable. But you see I had to get clearer myself… and I have to admit it to you and to myself that I didn’t know how to take you to the promised land, to Heaven on Earth, because a lot of knowledge was still missing.
And my hunch is there is still a lot missing. But the truth value of what I am teaching is climbing steadily.
And it’s a journey. If you are waiting for someone who knows everything you’ll get someone who pretends that they know everything… just like you have.
This is a very important article. If you just read one article, this is it. Without getting this, what I am showing here, you can’t and won’t be able to fulfill your destiny as a human.To belong to the cool guys, you needed to, at least, pretend, that work, school work, reading, learning, achieving are not important to you.
It is pretending that you don’t care.
The cool guys are losers. In life. But they look good. Continue reading “You have uncomfortable feelings? The why will surprise you”
If I asked you: how much of my articles you actually get… What would you say?
Experiments and tests show that if you have the right attitude, high level of interest, and you are coherent: you can receive as much as 7% of what is being said. Word based communication.
Re-listening or re-reading the same thing won’t improve the percentage much. Why? Because what you think is there replaces, effectively, what you hear or read the second time.
This is what is normal.

A lot of years ago a guy, another participant stood up in a Landmark Education seminar and shared something that has impacted my life to this day.
Here is what he said:
“The other day I was lying on the couch, working on a report for my workplace.
I didn’t like what I wrote, so I crumpled the paper and pitched it to the waste basket that was on the other side of the room. After missing it several times, my wife picked up the waste basket and put it right next to me.”
That was all he said. I was shaken to the core. Move the things you need close to where you need them… Hah.
Because we don’t live that way. We hope to get everything done. We make to-do lists, but something always falls by the wayside.
If and when you add a new thing to do, which happens all the time, something else falls off, or you forget to do it.
You live a life that is set up to remain the same. No matter what you want… no matter what you say.

This is famed ad writer, Roy William’s article, but I know you should read it… You don’t feel you need it, but if you can turn around and actually need it, and follow what it teaches, it will make you a winner. A rarity.
An it is not only about jobs, it is also about anything that involves other people. Whether you are a college student struggling to write your dissertation in Poland, or a doorman in New York dreaming of stage success. You may be an accountant in Sweden, or a policy writer in Virginia.
Maybe an earth moving company owner in Minnesota? A recent graduate of Chinese descent? Or me.
We all need to learn what he says, or else…
