Bigger than our problems There’s an old saying about being bigger than our problems. What would happen if we took this literally? Think about one of your big problems. This could be with a person or a situation. Now notice that from your mind’s eye perspective, that person or that situation is bigger than you […]
Take the upgrade (version 2)

Take the upgrade (version 2) Imagine that you are an army general and your troops win a big battle. Of course, there was a huge cost to this. Then imagine abandoning that newly won territory and then having the same battle again a week later to reclaim that territory. That would be really bad strategy. […]

Problem or opportunity?
May 11, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Problem or opportunity? When that undesirable thing happens, how do you respond? 1) Oh no, I’ve got a problem. 2) Yahoo, I’ve got an opportunity for an upgrade.

Bounce house of goals, dreams, and visions Imagine getting an inflatable bounce house for a kid’s party but then not inflating it. There won’t be any bouncing going on.

Hurt or Happy I recently talked to a guy who clearly would rather be hurt than happy. His happiness is 100% contingent on the person who hurt him changing. In effect, he is saying that the only possible way he can be happy is if that other person changes. Consequently, he is stuck in suffering. […]

Non-conscious allowing We allow struggle, frustration, anxiety, and limitation in our lives. Of course, we don’t do this consciously or intentionally. But through our non-conscious programming, through the meanings we have attached to life experiences (both consciously and non-consciously), and through other head trash, we do allow these things in our lives.

Surround your goals and dreams A friend recently mentioned that his business is growing nicely. And, the bigger opportunities seem out of reach. He’s fallen into the “how” trap. If we have a goal where we can clearly see the “how”, it is sure to be a very small goal. When we get caught up […]
Resignation and small dreams
April 29, 2018 by Leave a Comment
Resignation and small dreams Over time, many (if not most) people start to dream smaller. They have lived some years, tried some things, had some hopes and dreams, and enthusiastic starts – but, they have not had that breakthrough, they haven’t hit that home run, they haven’t created that success they hoped for. And consequently, […]
