In this episode, I explain why it’s important to keep your belief maps fresh and up-to-date. Our belief maps are how we navigate reality. Reality is subjective, of course, so how do we make sure our current view of reality is the most up-to-date?
This is where I find myself on this grayest of gray days here in the UK. I stole it from an Amazon reviewer, who stole it from Gary Keller’s book, who stole it from the movie City Slickers. It is the summation of all my searching. a dialogue between Curly and Mitch… Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is?Mitch: No. What?Curly: This. [He holds up one finger.]Mitch: Your finger?Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that, and everything else don’t mean sh*t.Mitch: That’s great, but what’s the “one thing”?Curly: That’s what you’ve got to figure
Always be true to yourself, embrace your unique qualities, follow your passions, and don’t be afraid to take risks. Because, in the end, when this is all said and done, how you lived your life is what counts, and hopefully you can say you stayed true to yourself and lived life how you wanted to live, not how others dictated you live.. Be true to who you are. That’s what authenticity is about.
Alfred Korzybski, a philosopher and mathematician, is known for his concept that “the map is not the territory.” This idea refers to the idea that our understanding of the world around us is limited by the language and symbols that we use to describe it. In other words, the way that we perceive and understand the world is not the same as the actual world itself.
Critical thinking is an essential skill in today’s fast-paced and constantly changing world. It lets you think about what you know and make decisions based on that instead of just accepting what you are told without question. In this microlearning, I’ll discuss the importance of critical thinking in various aspects of life, such as education, the workplace, and personal decision-making. See if you can spot the fallacies in these statements
Jenny Yip: “Laziness usually isn’t the reason behind procrastination. Laziness is like, ‘I have absolutely no desire to even think about this.’ Procrastination is, ‘It troubles me to think about this. And therefore, it’s hard for me to get the job done.’ That’s a big difference.” From an article by Kristen Rogers If you want to go further down the rabbit hole, try How to beat procrastination.
I finished reading this book this morning. My short review and recommendation is this: Overall, I liked the book. If you’re a veteran user of techniques like NLP and hypnosis, you’ll recognise most of the core tenants of Psych-K as being derivatives of both of these disciplines. The book’s central theme is understanding the roles that the conscious and subconscious minds play in bringing about change in our lives. Our ability to change is often inhibited by our limiting beliefs. Learning how to deal with and overcome our limiting beliefs is the key to successful change. Psych-K gives you a
I had the great pleasure of being interviewed on the Old Grad Podcast, an oral history podcast featuring the West Point Class of ’91, “Duty Shall Be Done.” If you don’t know my backstory, this is the podcast episode to listen to. If this were a film, I’d say you get to see some never-before-seen footage. I don’t know what the equivalent is for audio, but at any rate, you’ll get to hear some stories from my past that you’ve probably never heard before.

Merely writing down your goals is not a guarantee of success. To improve your chances of reaching your goals, you need to set an intention, examine your intent, create a ritual that is important to your goal, and take action. Ref: PSYCH-K… The Missing Piece/Peace In Your Life by Robert Williams

Here’s the meditation mixtape I used this week. It’s good for a 15-minute session. Enjoy.
Hello, good folks. Here are 10 things I thought were worth sharing this week: 1. More than half the workforce says they need more training to perform better in their current roles. How are companies responding? 2. Many people think that their willpower is set and can’t change. But there are powerful ways to help us increase it. New research shows that anyone can use these powerful strategies to build more willpower, which has huge benefits for health, productivity, and happiness. 3. When we look back in 50 years’ time, it is likely that the 2D internet we now all
