I am here, waiting for the cable man to fix my internet. It"s been down since yesterday afternoon.
It is hard to remember what we did with our lives before the internet... for me it"s been 18 years. It is hard to figure out what I can do that does not involve the internet... Finally I settle on writing, editing, and such.
It"s 11:30 am. The repairman was scheduled to be here at 11. I am sitting here, uncharacteristically anxious, contemplating that the man won"t even show up, that he will lie, that I will have to be another day without the ability to work.
It"s excruciatingly painful. I am diligently making room for the bad feelings, including them, breathing normally. Then I have a suspicion: is this mine? I normally don"t get anxious: I take life as it comes.
Turns out I tuned into the repairman: it"s his anxiety. Hm.

Landmark Education was born in 1991. With its name change it also, appropriately, introduced a "new technology".
The new technology was based on an earlier statement or assertion: that who you are in the present is given by the future you are living into.
It was also said like this: What gives you who you are in the present moment is the future you are living into.
But, although they were illustrating this assertion with a story ((this is a story of a vacation in Hawaii... Seattle, I"ve told you in this article.)) , what they meant was this: what gives your being and consequently your actions in the present moment is who you invented yourself to be.
Let"s say you invent yourself to be a winner... what give your being and consequently your actions in the present, that no matter what you do, you"ll at least end up landing on your feet... and that makes you, automatically, a winner. And some of the time you"ll win more than just your safety or your life... you may win some stuff, some arguments, etc.

None of us is an island, and in our quest to carve out a meaningful life, we encounter resistance. Often a lot, even more often, from people who "should" be on our side. Sometimes that person disagreeing with you is is me... if you are one of my students.
The question is: how are you going to be? Who are you going to be? Are there any tricks that make it easier than it is to live life in a sea of disagreements?
