I used to have this buddy in high school. All through the first two years ( went to a three year high school) he had this HUGE crush on this girl, but never said anything. Finally, there was this party (we didn’t start going to parties until our third year) and the two of them […]
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 […]
How To Seek And Destroy Demon Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are perhaps the most insidious construction keeping you from easily and naturally getting everything you want out of life. They are horrible for a couple of reasons. One is that they are self-imposed, yet we trick ourselves into thinking there is something “out there” that is stopping us. In order to overcome those […]
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 […]
How I Developed X-Ray Vision
I first read the famous book, “The Structure of Magic,” a long, long time ago. I didn’t know squat about NLP, and a friend (who was easily the most charismatic person I’d ever met) recommended it to me in an off-hand manner. So I dug into it, and quickly gave up. Why? The first few […]
The Power of Pacing Objections
Getting people to do what you want is a tough job. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting your kids to clean their rooms, getting that number from that cute girl, or making that huge sale that will catapult your commissions into the stratosphere. Most of us love our freedom. I don’t mean in a “patriotic” […]
The Internal Variable of Guaranteed Success
Einstein famously said that “God does not play dice with the universe.” What does this mean? It means the universe, the physical world “out there,” is governed by repeatable laws. They don’t change, they don’t suddenly come out of nowhere and they don’t suddenly cease to exist. But what about human nature? Human nature is […]
Superman Is You
I saw the new trailer for the new Superman movie yesterday, and a couple of quotes jumped out. One was the voice of Superman, saying, “I’m afraid if the world knows who I truly am, they’ll reject me.” The other voice was from Superman’s father, saying, “Your life’s mission is to discovery who you truly […]
How Deep Does This Rabbit Hole Go?
Language is an incredibly complex phenomenon. Folks that study this kind of thing can only guess when, where, and why it started. What makes it even more interesting is for the large part of our history, the world was a relatively simple place. Nouns were usually things. Descriptions of things were straightforward. Recursiveness was essential, […]
