When you are sick, your only job is to be sick

When you are sick, your only job is to be sick. NOT to heal yourself, but to be sick. Not to pretend to work, pretend to be well.

When you are sick, be sick.

What happens when you are trying to heal?

Then you resist reality... you replace reality with a should-be-reality.

Can your body do its job of healing you if and when you do that? No. It can't. Continue reading "When you are sick, your only job is to be sick"

Commerce is king… and you are a peon, or maybe a rook.

Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis handing out a sentence to an old bank robber
'30 years'
'Your honor, I'm 75 years old, I don't have 30 years to serve'
'Then do the best you can'

This joke pretty accurately summarizes our lives.

The odds are not on our sides to live out our lives fully.

I could say 'by design', but that would not be accurate.

What the heck am I talking about? About the conflict between you and commerce... Continue reading "Commerce is king… and you are a peon, or maybe a rook."

The role of thinking, mindset, attitude in life and death

When I do the health measurements for people, the last step is to see what causes or will likely cause big troubles if nothing changes.

The first of such causes (thinking/emotional errors, attitude) is what I want to talk about in this article... because I am just going through, or have just gone through something that even I didn't expect, despite all my experience to the opposite.

I felt it inevitable. My mother died at my age... so I will too.

Yesterday was the day I was exactly, to the day as old as my mom was when she died. And I didn't die. Continue reading "The role of thinking, mindset, attitude in life and death"

The fastest way to get better in every area of life…

...or how you are a one-legged person trying to win an ass-kicking contest

I have been experimenting.

I have run two experiments among the many that have brought results I did not expect. Results that told me that I have been one of these one-legged people. Continue reading "The fastest way to get better in every area of life…"

You can flip the context of anything… and change your life

One of the transformational moves I use with my students is 'flipping the context.'

Context is decisive, and the context inside which you live your life is what makes your life great or horrible... not what happens to you. Continue reading "You can flip the context of anything… and change your life"

The parallels, the differences between Robert Greene and me

Robert Greene definition or distinctionIt was Apr 9, 2021

I spent that whole day watching Robert Greene, listening to him, reading him... And had a question to you:

What is the difference between a worldview where you look through definitions and a worldview where you look through distinctions.

Definition vs distinction

The first thing to do is to see what is a definition. Whatever you define: you talk about it. It's characteristics, and you try to be as descriptive and as exactly as possible. Continue reading "The parallels, the differences between Robert Greene and me"
