Hurt for people rather than be hurt by people Life is way easier when we give up getting hurt by people and instead hurt for them. One way of doing this is by remembering that it is not about me and then giving them the benefit of the doubt, “they must be having a […]
Simple math of thinking
August 5, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Simple math of thinking Most people are wishing for positive results but mainly thinking negative thoughts. This is a seriously defective strategy. The good news is that this habit of how and about what we think can be upgraded. When thinking becomes predominately positive we become happier, life becomes more enjoyable, and positive results become […]
Benefit of the doubt
July 28, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Benefit of the doubt What would happen if we gave people the benefit of the doubt more often? Do you walk around purposely offending people or disrespecting people? Do you intentionally cut off other drivers? Do you intentionally hurt people’s feelings or try to make them mad? Hopefully your answer to these questions is an […]
Flip that switch

Flip that switch I see this fairly regularly: A person thinks, “I need a break.” Then their actions start to become very ineffective, things keep falling apart, setbacks keep occurring, etc. They end up getting the break they said they needed but not the rest and recharge because they are flailing around in ineffective action. […]

When we know (not conceptually or intellectually but whole heartedly) who we are we have peace, trust, joy, worthiness, belonging, love in our hearts . . . Instead, people have believed lies about who they are – lies of insufficiency, unworthiness, […]

Rise up or give up (part 2 of bungee cords and ladders) Yesterday’s Dose talked about how limiting beliefs, poor self-image, and other head trash act like bungee cords attached to our waist as we try and climb the ladder of success. As we try and climb, we keep getting pulled back down off the […]
Taking ourselves for granted

Taking ourselves for granted Does anyone enjoy being taken for granted? Of course not! So, why do we take ourselves for granted so often? What would happen if we started appreciating ourselves more? What would happen if we started to give ourselves credit for the things we have gotten done instead of discounting them and […]
I’m just an average guy
May 21, 2017 by Leave a Comment
I’m just an average guy “It is impossible to outperform your self-image.” Dr Maxwell Maltz in Psycho-Cybernetics I’ve referenced that quote about a million times. Our self-image (our beliefs about who I think I am and am not, what does and does not happen to me, what is possible and impossible for me, what I […]
The Meaning of Stress
May 12, 2017 by Leave a Comment
The Meaning of Stress Stress = misguided thinking that we are in charge of the results. Thinking this way is bound to stress us out because there is very little that we are actually in control of (with effort, we can be in control of our thoughts, feelings, reactions, and behaviors and that is pretty […]
