Live. Die. Repeat

Did you see this movie with Tom Cruise?

It’s an interesting take on the alien invasion story.

And a powerful metaphor for living our ultimate days.

Long Story Short

Alien invaders are wiping out the human race.

Tom Cruise, playing a poor soldier, blows himself up, taking an alien down with him.

But then he wakes up again.

It seems blowing himself up with the alien “infected” him with the ability to reset time.

Each time he dies he starts again the same day.

Get It Right This Time

Each time he comes back to life he gets to do it better.

To train more.

Develop more knowledge.

Become more skilled.

To end the alien threat first before it again ends him.

Trump Whine and Cheese

Combating Trump

One of the saddest parts of the Trump presidency is how much misery he’s sparked.

Lefties like to think he won by inciting angry voters…

Yet ironically they are the ones left with all the anger.

Living In Misery

How many people have made their lives worse because Trump is president?

It’s quite shocking, actually.

Especially once you disconnect from the media cycle, and see the games for what they are…

It’s shocking “grown-ups” wake up every day filling their heads with misery worrying about something they can’t control.

They might feel right, yet they’re the ones left whining.

Focus On What You Can’t Control

Adults know that wasting your life worrying about what you can’t control is a miserable way to die.

Yet how many of us, addicted to the media cycle, guzzling Trump whine, have ruined the last few years of their life?

How many of them feel justified?

Well, he just sucks so much.

Did you see what he did?

Yeah, he took over the country and your life by getting you talking about him every day.

Wonder Woman Was Polyamorous

In reading about Wonder Woman I discovered this fascinating truth—

Wonder Woman was created by American psychologist and writer William Marston, artist Harry G. Peter, Marston’s wife, Elizabeth, and their life partner, Olive Byrne.

Hmm, what did they mean by life partner, I thought.

Olive Byrne, who partly modeled Wonder Woman, lived with Marston and his wife.

Each woman giving birth to two of Marston’s children.

Sexual Taboos

Even way back in the 20s the creators of Wonder Woman were busting sexual paradigms.

In fact, Marston, using Byrne’s research—she’d been his research assistant—published a paper on sexual taboos.

Wonder Woman was more empowered in the 20s than men and women today.

Like it’s perverted people ask me, “How can you create a program for meeting your most amazing woman?”

How can no-one else teach us this survival skill?

D-Day = Death Day

When will be enough?

When will us humans have had enough killing?

Slaughtering, maiming each other, for what?

Different beliefs? Our little imaginary gods?

Fighting for dirt? Imaginary lines on a map?

When?

Will we stop sending young men and women to kill…

Other men, women, children?

To watch their friends get slaughtered?

To end the killing we must do more than remember the “great” wars.

We must resolve to evolve.

This song makes me think of this cycle of madness:

Public Speaking Natural FAST?

Why learn any other way?

Public speaking unnaturally SLOW, anyone?

If public speaking is a fear worse than death…

Slow Painful Death, Anyone?

How many years do people live with the fear of public speaking?

Fear all their way to the stage?

Terrifyingly “trying” to memorize their lines?

Walking up there hoping for the best, fearing the worst?

Or perhaps worse…

Avoiding public speaking altogether…

Or even worse…

Wasting years of their life doing their little Toastmasters, fake audience fake cheering them on?

WW John Wick D?

He’d kill the guy with a pencil.

That’s what John Wick would do.

It’s simple…

Sharp object. Fleshy inner ear. Shut down the brain.

Truth Is Always Simple

Movies have elaborate fight scenes.

No one who kills for living does it with kicks and punches.

Animals killing to survive hunt the fastest way to shut down the target.

Pencil in the ear. Claw out the eye. Whatever.

Poke your Adam’s apple you feel how weak it is.

Drive your forearm through someone else’s and they won’t get back up.

Truth is simple.

Fake Is Complicated

A client told me about the formula to prove the sun revolves around the planets.

It’s very complicated, but with enough complexity you can make anything seem true.

When they figured out the planets revolve around the sun, the formula got simple.

Doing What You Want is the same.

Focus, Living In The Flow

Sometimes find yourself unable to focus on what matters most?

Procrastinating? Resisting? Avoiding? Seeking distraction?

How would you be if you got beyond those things that hold you back?

Unleashing your best performance.

Feeling amazing at will absorbing in your highest-value tasks?

Living The House of Flow

For nearly a decade I’ve been honing in one goal—

How do you live in the flow state?

The peak state for happiness and performance.

Back in 2015 I released this 30 minute podcast of my method, The House of Flow.

Over some 4 years I’d built the tech, but I still couldn’t live inside.

These days it’s much more my home.

Using systematic methods like my System for Ultimate Days, and my super-secret Ultimate Solution, flow is baked into every minute of my day.

And having done it many thousands of times, I’ve much more conditioned living here in the flow.

This may be the greatest “achievement” of my life…

This Is NOT For “Picking Up” Women

I just want to be clear.

This Masterclass is not for picking up women…

You can use it to pick up men too 🙂

But ultimately, it’s for…

Meeting Your Wonder Woman

How many of us would like to meet our most amazing woman?

That person in life who is our wonder woman.

What about just meeting any woman we’re attracted to?

Or a man? A new friend?

I saw a headline that on average American adults haven’t made a new friend in 5 years.

How many of us would like the confidence and skills to meet any person we want?

How Many Of Us Settle?

For less than our super man or wonder woman?

Or worse, unable to meet the super people we deserve, settle for being alone?

Building relationships can be hard, but the harder part can be getting started.

Just walking up to people we want to know can be a fear worse than death, public speaking.

How great would it be to meet who you want, especially a wonder woman?

I Could Never Be “Normal” Again

Normal in our world is having never trained your mind.

I’d rather be dead.

Seriously, this is heaven.

That Mind Is Hell

Constantly thinking.

70,000 mostly redundant, shit thoughts.

Addicted to distraction.

Fear, of basically everything.

Uppers to get started. Booze, pills, drugs to shut it down.

Worry, FOMO, anxiously picking up devices every 8 seconds.

Constantly looking to the future, so desperately hoping it’s not worse, maybe better.

Vomiting opinions, thinking they are our own, not just programmed by someone else.

Thinking how you feel is based on your life and anything other than how you’re using your body and mind.

De Blasio Will Thrash Trump…

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

A bold prediction.

2 baker’s dozen Democrats throw their hat in the ring.

A crowded field of equally unremarkable, indistinguishable candidates.

They confuse the electorate.

They all offer the same solution.

The only way they stand out is tearing each other down.

The one left standing is already beat.

Trump easily finishes them.

It doesn’t matter who it is

It’s hardly a bold prediction.

It’s just straight up obvious.

Nothing is certain but you can be certain…

You don’t win this game making the same noise as everyone else.

And you certainly fail when you have zero skills of winning.

“Focus Can’t Be Trained In 5 Minutes”

That’s right.

The mind is a muscle.

You wouldn’t expect to get strong doing 5 push-ups a day.

Nor doing 5 minutes of meditation, when the Dalai Lama does 5 hours!

Yet, what if you had a focus tool that you could use in 5 minutes?

That is easy.

Fun.

You can use it all day every day.

That makes you feel more calm.

Relaxed.

Alert.

Yes! Bad Focus Is Our Phones Fault

This silly article blames our phones for ruining our lives.

Obviously, the way many of us use our devices is busted but it’s unfair to blame our poor phones.

They’re just doing their job.

Obviously We Have Focus Problems

Walk down the street it’s obvious.

Watch so-called friends / lovers in a restaurant on their devices, it’s obvious.

Obviously us adults are attached to our phones like a terrorist to an IED.

Kids are obviously raised on the distraction they provide.

Obviously they make our lives better in many ways.

Obviously, they waste our lives in many others.

Less Obvious: Stop Blaming

We blame guns for killing people.

Food for our ever growing waistlines.

Distractions on our lack of focus.

Near everything in the world for our lack of satisfaction.

But the only ones to blame are…

Looking For Not Purpose

Many people are seeking more purpose.

It’s not just a buzzword of the era, but us humans have always been driven by a deeper sense of meaning.

A problem for many of us is that we don’t know where to look to find it.

And this leaves many of us stuck…

Looking In The Wrong Place

Purpose is one of those funny topics in our society.

Like sex, purpose is talked about all the time, but nobody ever teaches us how to get it.

How do you even know what it means?

Where do you find it?

Under that rock over there?

Shake the tree and more purpose / passion / meaning might fall out?

Maybe, but what’s for certain is where it’s not found.

The Best Mother’s Day Gift…

Is an Ultimate Day.

The point of Ultimate Days is that you can celebrate every day, yet it’s even better on these special days.

Your ultimate day doesn’t have to be your wedding day.

Or the day you won the lottery.

Every day you can party like it’s your birthday when you’re living Ultimate Days.

Make Mother’s Day Ultimate, Again

Mother’s Day is a perfect Ultimate Day.

Being an ultimate mother.

Being ultimate for your mother.

Giving her the gift of being ultimate for her ultimate Mother’s Day.

Here’s the full intro track from the Ultimate Days Masterclass:

Of Course Young Workers Are Miserable

Of course they are.

Older workers are miserable too.

Most workers are miserable.

Some two-thirds of us are consistently surveyed as disengaged in our jobs.

Gen Z or Lost Generation?

This is 2019, not 1919.

Back then the so-called Lost Generation surely had worse jobs, including taking bullets in a world war.

Perhaps they were just as miserable…

Yet 100 years later we’re still so downtrodden?

We Suck Like Our Jobs

Many jobs suck…

But at least we have more choice than ever about the work we do.

The bigger problem for many of us isn’t that our jobs suck.

It’s that we suck at how we look at them!

Focus Focus Focus Focus Focus Focus Focus Focus

Perhaps nothing is more important…

Yet harder to find.

That’s why I created this Masterclass on Focus Tools.

It’s focused, short and devastatingly sweet.

Just a couple hours and three 5 minute tools that make ADHD and meditation look like child’s play.

Here’s the intro track:

Are You Living Ultimate Days?

Yes!

Now, we’re getting crazy… good.

Here we’re not just focused on living your ultimate life but…

Are You Living Your Ultimate Day?

Are you thinking your best?

Feeling your best?

Absorbed in your best actions?

Is today pretty good or…

Are You Living Your Ultimate Day?

If not, when do you plan on living it?

Next year?

When you reach that goal?

Get that thing?

Feel like you’ve finally, what…

Made it?

The only time we ever experience is now.

Period.

Full stop.

No One Lays On Their Death Bed Regretting…

They didn’t spend more time on social media.

They Imprisoned Us

They know our minds are built for distraction.

Like Facebook they’ve built their honeypots to keep us trapped.

But we can break free.

We Say Time Is Precious

But how much of our lives do we piss away.

Thinking about shit we can’t control.

Worried about the future. Thinking about the past.

Living in a different time, a different place, how many of us are living here today?

Search For Intelligent Life

A beautiful Nordic alien recently told me she was sent here in search of intelligent life.

“So far I’m yet to find it,” she said.

“Ha, what do you mean?”

“Well, I’ve been reading your news and watching your TV and it’s obvious there’s no intelligent species here.”

Ouch

“Have you kept up with the Kardashians?” she asked.

“And your entertainment?”

“What about it?” I asked.

Looking at me with her hypnotic blue eyes she asked, “What type of intelligent species entertains itself with murder and mayhem?”

“Your politicians? They are your leaders?”

Would You Rather Be Dead or Public Speak?

Do you know it’s true?

Apparently we have a greater fear of public speaking than death…

It was once pretty close to that for me.

I can’t say that if you held a gun to my head and made me choose, I’d eat a bullet.

But public speaking, and even having a public website, was once a near-death experience.

What About You?

How comfortable are you speaking in public?

Not just this formal thing we call “public speaking,” but how comfortable are you standing and speaking to a group?

Even socially, do you need the lubricant just to feel more at ease?

In business, do you hold yourself back in meetings or other forums because it’s uncomfortable for you?

Or perhaps worse, diminish your credibility by doing it poorly?

You Know What’s So Bizarre In All This?

We’ve been speaking in public most of our lives!

And that’s the crux of this public speaking dilemma.

Because we see public speaking as a “special-type” of speaking, we think it requires all sorts of unnatural ways of doing it.

Suddenly we can’t just speak the way we always do.

We need a script. To memorize it. Practice over and over. Imagine the audience naked…
