One of my event attendees [Goal Set 2020] wrote about her experience at the workshop. It’s an admirable quality to me, when someone is driven enough to immediately reflect on an experience, put the logic to practice, and processes the emotional content that may have come through. Software developer Karolina …
Questions reflect a mind’s height. Questions are arrows, a cognitive tool to direct focus. Answers are targets, formed based on a question’s quality. The Q — a circle with a line running through it. The line is the symbol for direction, being willing to step outside of a loop that …
Of the topics covered during the recent Goal Set 2020 event, one stood out from the survey: taking care of oneself. Once we set out to realize some goal, we by its nature create these archetypes Joseph Campbell became well-known for illustrating on the hero’s journey [they’re described in my own words …
Part of the recent Goal Set 2020 workshop involved distilling intent. If we think of a general distillation process, we’re stripping some substance of the extra layers to reveal its essence. Get to the “heart of the matter,” some may say. “Strip it down to its root,” others might say. Give me “the …
Beware shiny objects. Greener grass. Persuasive promises. Newest trends gone with the wind. The latest hacks that don’t last. While cool for the moment, true value is demonstrated when the creation can stand the test of time; check an antiquarian book price to validate for example. My colleague Jacqueline Ore …
When you’re just starting to share content online you may experience the audacity from some people saying, “What right do you have to share your ideas?” I encourage you to interpret this as, “What you shared caused me to feel insecure.” Introducing your thoughts into the digital world creates the …
Over the years I’ve observed how effective computer writing tends to be. Prior to undergrad, I was nearly exclusively handwriting. I took a picture some years back of how many journals piled up from the notes and full-length pieces. Quite the collection. [Can no longer find it.] Thinking about it now, …
The vampire archetype has a special place in fantasy, or fiction, because movies display the vampire in fantastical ways. But the reality is the vampire is an archetype representing specific qualities that people in real life exhibit daily. The classic Nosferatu, bald and aesthetically unpleasing with sharp fangs and pale …
The Yoga of Time Travel was a text I read several years ago about the nature of not just time, but how Time as an experience and force exists and can be worked with in the mind. Fred Alan Wolf’s knowledge isn’t new; the old wisdom from before the Atlanteans …
Affirmations are popular in success literature for good reason: if applied properly they can alter personality, increase strengths, eliminate fear, list goes on. They’re capable of creating not just temporary feel-good sensations but lasting internal change. The problem I see in the personal development industry is an advocate saturation for …
Have you ever engaged a conversation that felt nourishing to the degree that you no longer felt hungry or tired, or placed so deep into the present moment that you could sense something “happening” within your spirit? Or perhaps an elevated excitement, or anticipation of something great on the verge …
This was a response to a post on LinkedIn about ways to increase leadership. It’s a token word that summarizes a number of capacities; ultimately, it’s an energy that radiates being at the helm or pioneering something, initiative, idea or empowering position that sparks others’ growth. To be a leader, …
When excited about a goal we plan to work towards, there can be temptation to want to tell everyone, blast it out to the world. But this opens up your goal, and by extension your mind to sabotage. A goal is tightly wound to your subconscious; there’s passion, emotional content …
“Leadership” is already a well-researched, well-documented topic analyzed from hundreds of angles from the theoretical to the practical; I need not touch those areas. What I do find to be a rather untouched dimension is helping people recognize that they don’t have to have an authority title in order to …
Don’t be fooled by the title; nothing in the world is truly free. Energetically, there’s always an exchange. In the case of these resources, the trade will be your attention, focus, your intelligence and commitment to utilize what’s provided. The current pandemic is slowing the economy down and keeping people …
In a recent Instagram post as a prelude to this article, I mentioned the importance of ensuring our immunity is strong regardless of the situation we’re in. Today’s increasing panic about the spreading coronavirus seems to be creating a knee-jerk, reflexive approach to health that won’t solve the underlying issue. …
For those who may not know, ghostwriting is a style where the writer is unknown, while there may be a public author. A politician for example, who may have valuable ideas but doesn’t have the time or writing skill, may seek out a skilled writer to pen a book. The …
