Ever watch the TV series Prison Break? If William Fitchner, the actor who played an FBI agent, would smile more and let his hair grow down past his shoulders, he’d look a lot like Nassim Haramein. I was watching a YouTube video of Haramein recently in which he discussed his decades of work on a [...]
When we struggle against all those “bad” habits of ours, it may be that we’re utterly on the wrong track. In fighting evil, what do we have front-and-center in our minds? Yep, the very thing we want to banish from our lives. And as every teacher has tried to show us, we get what we [...]
Time for a contrarian comment. Just this. Only a very, very few people will have a new year in 2012. Everybody else will have the same old year they’ve been repeating for ages. Slapping a new number on the same old stuff and pretending it’s the Emperor’s New Year is either cynical or self-delusional. Only [...]
Statistically, most new year’s resolutions produce squat. All but a tiny handful go from high hopes to zero in a matter of days. Lose weight? Ha! Work out and put on muscle? Double ha! Make more money and get along better with family or whoever? Fuggedaboudit! Even apart from the new year period, the fact [...]
The endlessly creative Mr. Seth Godin, that wildly innovative explainer of new ways to look at your world, has yet another new concept-changing, mind-bending book out. It’s titled Poke the Box which implies that if you’re ever going to get outside that damned box, you’re going to have to do something to the box itself. [...]
I didn’t make any resolutions this year, but I’ve got some targets for 2011… And I’m going to need your help to accomplish them. My primary target is to turn out products, products and more products this year. But not just any old products. I don’t want to turn out the same-old-same-old stuff you can [...]
I don’t know any way to break this to you gently, so I’m just going to blurt it out… Enlightenment is not likely to do most of what you’re expecting it to do for you. First, a disclosure: I am not an enlightened being (probably), nor do I play one on TV. I am, however, [...]
It always amazes me to see wildly talented new people springing up from out of nowhere. Remember the YouTube sensations Susan Boyle, Paul Potts and Bianca Ryan? Yesterday I ran across a random bookmark, which, when I followed it, led me to discover a new way of performing that I’d never even heard of before. [...]
Sometimes the job just gets too boring for words. And it’s at times like these that we can find ourselves weighed down under the oppressive burden of routine, grinding out meaningless tasks that are driving us batty. If so, it may be time to make a small mark to proclaim our humanity. That’s right, I’m [...]
How adventurous are you? How conventional-minded? Do you make up your own mind about things, or do you let social approval/disapproval hold your mind hostage and make all your decisions for you? I don’t usually run health-related items, but this one is too interesting to let slide. So I’m going to give you the link [...]
