I caught that scene from “Back to the Future” on TV the other night. McFly was in the restaurant, speaking to his future wife, when he said: “You are my density.” She, being confused, looked at him with a puzzled look on his face. Then he corrected himself, and said, “You are my destiny.” He, […]
Three Magic Words For Unlimited Magnetism
I once knew this guy that was the most charismatic, most magnetic, and easily the most successful “lady killer” I’d ever met. Girls would literally melt simply when this guy would walk through department stores. I sat him down and tried to figure out his mindset, and in three words, he described to me his […]
The Other Side of Assertiveness
Long time ago, I used to sell cars. It was actually pretty fun. Besides the bad rap that car salespeople get, when a customer gets what he or she wants, they’re like a little kid on Christmas. I remember this older couple that strolled onto the lot. They seemed like the “type” that could and […]
Become a Shaper Of Reality
Once upon a time there was this group of scientists. These were different from the scientists I talked about in yesterday’s email, but they had a similar problem. Yesterday’s problem was understanding how something worked. How reality was actually unfolding itself. Today’s story is about how these scientists had a pretty good idea of what […]
You Can Do What Einstein Couldn’t
Sometimes reality can be incredibly confusing, and the models we construct to describe it don’t work on so well. If our models, or our maps of the world fail us, we tend to blame reality, rather than re-configuring our maps. One of my favorite stories of physics is “black body radiation,” which gave rise to […]
How We Were Frozen By False Fear
Long, long time ago, me and a buddy of mine were hanging out at his parent’s house. They were out of town, so we had the place to ourselves. It was a dark and windy night, and there were some houses being built nearby his place. Being kids (we were in high school) we decided […]
Get The Whole World On Your Side
According to some economists, or psychologists (or whatever kind of -ists study human behavior), there’s two kinds of people in the world. Those that look out and imagine the world as it “should” be, and those who see the world as it really is. Those who imagine the world as it “should” be look out, […]
Shift Your Mind – Change The World
A friend of my in college, (way back when lol) once played a clever trick on me. We were living in the dorms, and he “convinced” me that this pretty cute girl, who lived down the hall, was really into me. He said she’d confided in him her attraction, and that I’d better go and […]
How To Create New Beliefs
Most folks have heard the saying that “you’ll see it when you believe it,” meaning that our mindset creates our reality. The trouble is that many of us have beliefs about ourselves and our capabilities that don’t help us out so much. To make matters even worse, often times we don’t know what those beliefs […]
Break Open The Myth Of Reality
Most of us are stuck in a model of the world we created a long, long time ago. The tricky thing is that when we created this model, we didn’t have much experience. One of the few drawbacks in living in a modern, technologically advanced society is that the more you learn the better off […]
