What is the purpose of Life for you? Not YOUR purpose... LIFE"s purpose FOR you?

I stumbled on this meme this morning. It is still a little dark outside, and I am still a little sleepy... so I am going to follow this meme, down the rabbit hole... wherever it takes... hm.

The full quote is from a book: Today Matters...
How would you describe your life? Are you achieving what you desire? Are you accomplishing the things that are important to you? Do you consider yourself a success? How do your prospects look for the future?

If I could come to your house and spend just one day with you, I would be able to tell whether or not you will be successful. You could pick the day. If I got up with you in the morning and went through the day with you, watching you for 24 hours, I could tell in what direction your life is headed.

How to doubly benefit from my articles?

I love writing articles. I can do audios. But unless I can have a one-on-one conversation with you, I can"t dispell the myths, the "already always" cognitive biases, what you think you know, your prejudices about yourself or about the world...

So, with that said, I"ll like to start something, that will most likely be a flop, but at least I want to test it... maybe it can be a success... who can predict?!

When I write an instructive article, like two of them this week, I can feel that you are left with not enough instruction to help you. I am very sorry about that... by the way.

So the idea is to schedule a time where you can come and have those issues discussed in the article, overwhelm, integrating your life, getting unsctuck, etc. weekly.

Talk to me webinar tomorrowBy the way, this is in addition to the monthly Open Mic... Talk to me opportunities. The next such opportunity is tomorrow, last Wednesday of the month, 4 pm my time... which is New York time. That is 1 pm Pacific, 9 pm UK, 10 pm Europe, and midnight in Mauritius... If you want to come, just register to the subscribers" site, and you"ll be enrolled in the webinar automatically. You"ll get a confirmation from gotowebinar, the webinar software company...

The biggest reason you are stuck... on a plateau or in a ditch, but stuck nevertheless

Regardless of what you do, how you do it, how good or bad your life is... you are always stuck... Stuck in some deep bad place, or stuck on a plateau... stuck is stuck.

So learning what keeps you stuck and how to unstuck yourself, at will, is one of the most important things you can do... and the sooner the better. Because being stuck is not fun.

Cognitive biases, those knee jerk reaction tiny pieces of automatic responses, are at the root of your misery.

When you decide to do something for yourself... to grow...

Between two chairs I find myself fallen and sitting on the floor

I don"t know if you can recognize this situation, but my hunch is: you should.

Your attention is divided. Your intentions are divided. And NOTHING gets done.

It should be a daily concern... if it is not, you are probably in a rut.

What is a rut? A trench... you can either go forward or you can go backwards... Or stand still, hoping that it will give you a sense of being alive.

Whenever you add a new task, you have to go through this state: if you don"t, then you didn"t mean to add the task.

If you are human, you are hungry for stories -- the power of reading

It seems that to be human is to crave stories. So, if you are reading this, you crave stories.

The question is: where are you get your stories from?

Most of you get it in gossip.

Many get it in soap operas as well... not much better than gossip.

I recommend that you read. Quality novels or short stories... It enriches, while gossips or gossipy TV shows don"t.

Neither do romance novels...

You need to satisfy the hunger, but just like with food, some foods nurture, others fill you up with crap.

Diet cults vs. how life intends that you eat

I just finished reading the book "Diet Cults".

I mostly hated it, especially when he is elaborating on his non-cult cult"s rules... ugh.

What is most striking in all the diet-cults, to me, is their ignorance of the fact that food, unless it is prepared in a tasty, mouth-watering way, isn"t nourishing for most people.

I had two health calls in the past two days, and both people ate in a cultish way, for health. What they shared are these:


Their essential nutrients were not fully supplied to the body, even though the foods they ate had them.

They ate according to someone"s idea of healthy eating.

Both had a family member with serious health issues.




I came away from both calls with the same feeling: unless I teach them how to cook delicious meals with the few ingredients that agree with them, they will not get better.

And even more important: they won"t get happier.

Self trust... a linchpin capacity... or how do you develop yourself to be able to move forward?

Many of my coaching students are at a crucial point in their lives where unless something happens, they probably won"t move forward.

Fear, unclarity, self-centeredness, belligerence...

The main attitude is different. Not one person resembles another in what seems to block their path.

It"s the coach"s brilliance, creativity, insight that will either make a difference or not. What is clear is this: unless someone or something helps them through... they will stay this side of the great barrier.

Great responsibility, but I am up for it.

What is the capacity I need to be OK with this responsibility? It is self-trust. Self trust says: I can deal with it however it goes. I am a match to the twists of life.

More health knowledge... I"ve learned the hard way

You eat what you are, you crave what you are
Every plant, every animal contains toxins that it developed to protect itself from being eaten and extinguished... The selfish gene makes sure of that.

Your body, ancestrally, developed a liking and a tolerance to certain foods... that allowed it to survive.

It takes a long time for a group of people to create an ess with certain foods.

What makes the Japanese thrive may kill you... What an Irish can subsist on will kill you... What a Kenyan runner thrives on is murder for you... or can be.

With grocery stores carrying foods from so many continents you are not safe and you don"t thrive.

How many individuals do you know that thrive? I don"t know any. The closest person to thriving has a health number of 20%

Stuck in an ess? Not a good place? how to create a new ess that is more conducive to health, wealth, and fulfillment?

OK, let"s start at the beginning. What is an ess... right? lol. Evolutionary Stable Strategy... ess.

Unless you are my student, or you"ve read about the selfish gene, you don"t know what I am talking about.

It"s about evolution. It"s about the genes that use life-forms as vehicles for their own purposes.

A pigeon is a life form, and it is a vehicle for its selfish genes.
A worm is also a life form, and so is an elephant.
Human is also a life-form, the only one, so far, that is in conflict with the selfish gene.

With the new phenomenon: consciousness, humans are at odds with their own genes... the "vehicle" is revolting against the drivers, the genes" hegemony.

Rules for a life that is not prescripted

I almost snubbed this link a reader sent me... She is quite talkative, so I thought it was b.s... but integrity didn"t allow me to skip it.

And I watched it, and wept, and laughed, and felt that those of you who read my articles, and especially those of you who have been working with me one-on-one, in my Reclaim program, should recognize at least three parts where he said it better than I ever could...

So here is your challenge: Watch the video. It is arguably one of the best commencement addresses... and because it has elements of attitude and beingness that actually work...

OK, here is the youtube video... don"t just watch it. Find the parts with the teaching... It will make a difference for you.

The way to comment is to say the distinction/principle he mentions.
If you catch all three, I have a big gift for you. If you catch one... I still have a gift for you.
