This man is amazing!

Alexei Romanov is a fingerless pianist from Kazan who recently became popular in Russia. After he uploaded a video of himself on youtube playing a song from the twilight soundtrack, some of the Russian segment of the internet went crazy! Featured on Russian Times, Alexei shows us we can do anything when we set our minds to it.

How many people would assume, if you don’t have fingers, how could you play a piano?! Well, this is how. Another video shows Alexei playing the piano on stage, in front of a very large crowd!

People like this are pushing the boundaries for what’s possible for someone who is considered ‘disabled’.

They are clearly capable of whatever they set their minds to. This is beautifully inspiring to watch. So, what are you waiting for?! Go out and set your mind to doing what you love!

The design of modern society really shifts the fundamental idea of what addiction actually is. The official definition of addiction is a strong or harmful need to do something. 

For many people, this need is something instantly rewarding like drugs, alcohol or gambling. The idea of addiction goes much deeper than this, and many people are looking at it from a skewed perspective. Addiction is seen as something criminals or “bad” people do because something is wrong with their brain.

There was a very interesting study done that shifted many researchers understanding of addiction. The previous experiments had a single rat in a cage 1 water bottle laced with heroine or cocaine, and 1 with just normal water. Because there was nothing to do, the rat drank the drugged water and eventually died.  So, a new experiment was conducted that had many rats in a supportive “rat park” where they were free to do whatever they liked. There was 1 laced bottle of water, and 1 normal bottle of water. In this environment, the rats barely touched the laced water, because there was essentially no need to.

Addiction is a result of the environment directly around us. Many people are born into chaotic environments that they cannot control, and as a way to escape, numb pain and cope with life, they create dependencies on external things. Without the right kind of support, people can lose themselves in their pain. 

In this modern world, the idea of addiction is a lot more common place than we think. So many of us are addicted to the internet, facebook, media and different forms of distraction. When this can be used productively and positively, then it doesn’t become a dependency or an escape. That is the balance we are trying to achieve. Continue reading →

 In coaching and development work you often hear talk of mirrors, and the fact that situations and experiences come to teach you a lesson and show you an aspect of yourself.

How do you recognize these lessons when you’re looking into the mirror of a situation?

See That Red Car? It’s Not Red

Look down at what you’re wearing and begin to describe it. I’m willing to bet you started by saying the color of the piece right?

So, for example you said I’m wearing a black shirt. Well you’re wrong – because technically the shirt is every color but black (or red or white or yellow or pink or purple or any other color you can think of).

It’s basic science… the interpretation of color happens because waves from the color spectrum are absorbed by the item being viewed. The colors you see are actually the waves of color that are bouncing off the item.

So the truest thing you can say of anything red, is that it’s not red.

When we view situations with our ego, a similar process takes place: we have capacity for the full range of emotions inside us, but we choose to only focus on one or two at a time.

So when we view a situation, we shoot the waves of our understanding of the range of human emotions at the situation in front of us. The emotions that are absorbed are the ones we ‘ignore.’ Continue reading →

What’s more crazy to you: The fact that this man can focus the electricity in his body enough to spark a fire, OR, the fact we deem that completely impossible?

We exist in the age of disbelief. With things like CGI in movies, traditional cultural values, programming in the media and a lot of fake videos on the internet, it’s almost natural to dismiss everything we see. It’s easy, and actually programmed into us to not question, believe or understand anything that our limited view of science can’t explain.

This makes a lot of people apathetic, neutral or dismissive to ideas that they deem as scientifically impossible. Combining that with harsh ridicule for expressing interest in “New Age” topics like chakras, aliens, energy and psychic ability; our society seems like it’s designed to shut down this kind of discussion.

This deeply embedded belief that we are nothing more than mere physical beings is the very blockage that disallows us from experiencing our true potential. More and more studies are being conducted that prove our reality is a simulation from stemming from consciousness. The physical is a projection from the mental. The fabric that connects the physical and the ethereal is that infinite, underlying web of fundamental energy that makes up all that is.

When we can fully quantify that matter, consciousness, thoughts and emotions are all fundamentally made up of the same foundational energy; then things get really interesting. The idea of something like an alien, a higher dimension or something thats ‘physically impossible’, becomes very much possible. It becomes a simple yet much deeper understanding of how the structure of reality functions.

When I was a little boy, I used to wonder what those beautiful streaks in the sky were. Why would some of them dissipate immediately, and others stayed in the sky all day?

Wikipedia defines contrails as “condensation trails or vapor trails, which are line-shaped clouds sometimes produced by aircraft engine exhaust…composed mainly of water, in the form of ice crystals.”  Apparently the exhaust contains small impurities left hanging in the air that leads to the trails lasting longer than usual, but this doesn’t quite explain the double-volcano-smokestacks seen spewing from behind low flying planes.

According to wikipedia; “Chemtrails, according to the unproven chemical conspiracy theory, are long-lasting trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft consisting of chemicals or biological agents deliberately sprayed for sinister purposes…although proponents have attempted to prove that the claimed chemical spraying does take place, their analyses have been flawed or based on misconceptions.”

So there’s no evidence that planes ever deliberately spray chemicals, other than of course crop dusters?

If you dig a little deeper, you will discover there is a form of weather modification known as ‘Cloud Seeding‘.

Wikipedia states that; “Cloud seeding, a form of weather modification, is the attempt to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds, by dispersing substances into the air that serves as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud.” This can also be termed ‘Geoengineering’.

The ‘seeding’ refers to how clouds, and ultimately storms, are formed. Particles suspended in the air by dust carried by wind, have an innate electrical charge which attract water vapor to form molecules of water. This in turn attracts other molecules to form condensation or clouds. It is simple electrostatics. Continue reading →

 

1 – How Efficiently You Work

Joyful. Excited. Motivated.

What do you think about when you hear the words “work efficiently”?

The path of your dreams? Another day of drudgery? You decide which is true. I choose the path of my dreams.

You have 15 to 17 waking hours per day. Fill them with as much excitement and motivation as you possibly can. You do this with the help of 3 rules:

Make It a Learning Experience
All work experiences can be learning experiences. You can learn to master skills. You can learn to master yourself. Learn to master both.

Align with Your Dreams
Align your learning goals with your biggest dream. Find what skills you can learn, and what you can learn about yourself, that will help you the most in reaching your dreams.

Make It a Flow Experience

Time disappears. Your hands and your mind move faster than what is reasonably possible. You feel both inner peace and excitement. There is just you and the task. You have felt this way many times before. You can feel this way while doing anything.

The gateway to flow is intense focus: Goal-directed focus on the edge of your current skill level

2 – How Much Gratitude You Feel

Gratitude is happiness. Gratitude is a habit. Happiness is a habit.

If you throw a rock into the air, it falls down again. If I jump into the air, I fall down again. I am a rock.

Who cares about logic? Happiness is at least 50% habit. That is why it is so important to push your boundaries for gratitude every day.

3 – How Good You Make Others Feel

“Man is by nature a social animal.” – Aristotle

Are you waiting for others to make you happy? You fool! Make other’s happy and you will see your own happiness shine back at you.

4 – Your Level of Unconditional Self-Love

When do you allow yourself to be happy? How high have you set the bar? Fuck the bar! You are always worthy of self-love. Your love for yourself should be like a large sun. Shining brightly for billions of years and ending in a supernova.

Your conditions for self-love is messing you up. You deny parts of yourself. You distort reality. Unconditional self-love is a decision you make in every moment. Choose to love yourself now. There is no later.

5 – Your Presence in This Everlasting Moment

Presence is everything. Presence is now. You are flowing at work. You feel gratitude. You see other people and satisfy their needs. You love yourself with burning intensity.

Push it every day.
