When Life Has Scarred You

Whatever You’ve Got, Be Glad of it

The old proverb goes, “Into every life a little rain must fall.” And I always thought – a little?!! You ain’t been payin’ attention here. Most of us can manage to get through the bad times, but we don’t have to like it, right? And we ain’t forgetting the struggle – that memory stays with us. And stays.

On the other hand, some few people always seem to come out the other side of turmoil with their peace, their equanimity, still intact. How do they do that?

You want to Be a Leader Why?

How to Change Your Impact on the World

Ever wonder what makes a great leader? Or more to the point, what makes you not a great leader? If there’s a secret to being out front and inspiring people to follow you, what IS that secret? Ever wonder that? Below I’m including a YouTube video that tells you why people follow an inspiring leader and ignore all the others who are just trying to lead.

Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled.

Grit True or Grit False?

Getting Grit

Angela Duckworth – Grit

In my teens, I began feeling, as many people that age do, a serious lack of … something. Something I didn’t have but which I believed would enable me to live without the constant sense of malaise that gnawed away deep in my inner space. Within me was a strong sense of “I can’t do it”, whatever “it” might turn out to be, and furthermore, I probably wouldn’t ever be able to do it.

Denzel’s Prophecy

IT’S NOT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU …

… it’s what you do about what they say about you. Here’s proof – Denzel Washington’s commencement speech at Dillard University.

Conversational Hypnosis at Your Front Door

Master Persuader

If you’re into conversational hypnosis, you’ll be familiar with most of what this young man, Kenny Brooks, is doing. But being familiar with a subject and being able to do it are two different things. Especially doing it at breakneck speed, the way we’re seeing it here.

In this short, 7-minute clip Brooks unleashes a torrent of pattern interrupts, reframes and compliance testing that is nearly unstoppable. This is a powerful confusion induction – plus it’s funny. You want to get really good at conversational hypnosis? Watch this clip. Then watch it again. And then again. It’s some of the best real-life training you’ll find.

What Problems Bring to You

A Message to Garcia

A Message to GarciaOne evening, nearly 120 years ago, a man named Elbert Hubbard had something on his mind. He sat down and wrote a 1500 word op-ed piece for the magazine he edited. Nothing special about that.

But those few pages – what Hubbard himself considered a literary trifle – swept round the world, carried from one person to the next, to the next.

93 Year Old Body Builder

Dr. Charles Eugster, back in 2012, gave a TEDx talk in Zurich on the importance of body building. He was 93 at the time. In that presentation, he told about his experience when he was a much younger 85. It seems he looked in the mirror and didn’t like what he saw.

Of course, sooner or later everybody does that, young and old alike. And most folks don’t do much about it (except to stop looking in the mirror so often). But on that particular day, Eugster decided to change what he was seeing.
