I am going to be traveling a lot in the next 6 weeks – to the Integral Theory Conference in Oakland, then a week with Mike Jay in Las Vegas (see below), and then Burning Man – and reporting on all these events – so I am leading off with a long piece on entrepreneurship, [...]
I am willing to lose everything.
I embrace failure.
I am always willing to do tedious work.
I can handle watching my dreams fall apart.
Even if I am puking my guts out with the flu and my mother passed away last week, there is nothing that will keep me from being ready to work. [...]
I am in part reluctant to write today, as I have so much to share, as my life has taken a definite turning point, a crystallization and falling-into-place and making-whole of all the experiences, triumphs and tragedies, joys and sorrows of my 3 years with Trellis, 6 years with Rebekah, and indeed the entire stream [...]
Rebekah and the kids are away for most of the weekend, and so I am enjoying “that blissful solitude, that was so painful in my youth” [Einstein]. Truthfully, the events of the last 6 weeks (starting with the book I am writing and on to extremely exciting events at WordPress Academy, that I haven’t shared [...]
When I haven’t checked-in for such an eternity, it’s hard to know where to begin.
I will start with practical things. The WordPress webinar business has taken off. I am generating as much service business as I can handle right now just from my eBook and web traffic. The webinar has gone through two full [...]
Well, I have lived a couple of lifetimes since Trellis House was shut-down by the Norristown zoning department 5 weeks ago. Quite a few miracles have occurred, and many angels have showed-up, but the scene is still a bit too “raw” for full-disclosure. Maybe I will write the full story one day. However there are [...]
As the cooler fall weather arrives in the Northeast, I feel “enlivened” all over and a great happiness fills me. It’s the same for me every year: the fall represents change and the beginning of a new cycle, new possibilities, death/rebirth. This is even more so this year, which has been one of the [...]
Two days ago I wrote major post to the polyphasic sleep blog (which is where I put my thoughts-in-formation), excerpted below:
“What is gradually emerging is that the leading edge of my own development is deepening and clarifying my relationship with my wife, Rebekah. This is an awesome yet shocking realization – awesome in terms of [...]
The basic offer
I made an offer in yesterday’s post to join me in this course I am taking called “Project Mojave”. This is a course for creating an internet business that will generate $4k/mth in product or service sales within 12 weeks. I don’t do anything alone these days unless I have to, and so [...]
Below is a quote from Barbara Sher (one of my many gurus in the introduction to Wishcraft. The entire book, by the way, can be downloaded for free – a very generous offer considering that it’s one of the best books on career development ever written – of the same caliber as “What [...]

Quotes "If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
But if I am only for myself, who am I?
If not now, when?"
-- Hillel
"We can choose to make the success of all
humanity our personal business. We can choose to be audacious enough to take responsibility for the entire human family. We can choose to make our
love for the World what our lives are really about. Each of us now has the opportunity, the privilege to make a difference in creating a World that works for all of us. It will require courage, audacity and heart. It is much more radical
than a revolution, it is the beginning of a transformation in the quality of life on our planet. You have the power to fire a shot heard around the World.
If not you, who? If not here, where? If not
now, when?"
-- Werner Erhard, 1979
"The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet."
-- Frederich Buechner
"Describe the steps you would take,
the gifts you would buy,
the generosity you would bestow,
the kindness you would offer,
the enthusiasm you would have,
the attention you would give,
and anything else that appeals to you,
if you were able to give yourself the things you want someone else to give to you.
NONE OF US WANTS TO GROW UP"
-- Cheri Huber
“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one...being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap, being a force of nature, instead of a feverish selfish clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy…
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as i live it, it is a privilege to do whatever i can. i rejoice in life for its own sake…
Life is no brief candle to me, but sort of a bright torch that i got hold of for a moment and i want to make it burn as brightly as possible, before handing it on to future generations"
-- George Bernard Shaw “Bright Torch”
"Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy."
-- Joseph Campbell
"If your mind is on the right path, it doesn’t matter how fast you go. If you’re on the right path, you’ll get there. Commitment keeps you on the path."
-- Steve Chandler
Throw away
Your begging bowls at God’s door For I have heard the Beloved
Prefers sweet threatening shouts, Something on the order of: Hey, Beloved,
My heart is a raging volcano
of love for you! You better start kissing me –
Or else!" -- Hafiz
"You don't need to get what you want if you can express what you want"
-- Strephon Kaplan-Williams
"The heart has its reasons that Reason knows not of." -- Blaise Pascal |
