Repossible

It actually is cold outside. Why do you do what you do?

It’s Thursday. It must be Repossible.

It’s a Greek dessert and an ancient Indian book. From an old colleague: “Among your other qualities, you’re indefatigable. Congratulations on this.”

Unless you’re a kid and go to a school where they require you to wear the same exact uniform to school every single day, you have a decision to make on a morning-by-morning basis.  

If I don’t get the goose-bump factor when I’m reading it then I can’t do it.– ?Russell Crowe Just as you’re doubting the whole sombrero escapade, the hairs on the back of your neck start to tingle. I could throw loads of science your way backing up the numbers behind the decision-making trajectory and possibly wow you with all kinds of theories and books and research. Or the hairs on the back of y...

By a knockout. Hoping, wanting, dreaming, wishing, pleading, begging, whining, hoping. These are just a handful of the actions you undertake, whether consciously or unconsciously before you decide. I often think in mathematical terms, charts, and line graphs. I see all of those actions or beliefs or thoughts as heading downwards. Sure, you might think that hope is ascending in that you are hoping...

As an author, I talk about my books with friends.* But a little-known secret is that I haven’t finished the books yet and I’m doing research for the upcoming book by talking about it. Here I not-so-accidentally drag my entrepreneurial rockstar friend into letting me know how Jeff Bezos sees things. Don’t forget that “the vast majority of decisions are reversible.” I talk with an old pal of mine an...

I could be completely wrong about this, but I believe we all have an inner voice or we can call it our subconscious self or it’s actually fine to call it or relate to however you want. But I think something is there, something is in there and when we are connected with it, when we are aligned with it, following it, allowing ourselves to be pulled by it, then things are easier, more meaningful, and...

Three minutes talking inspiration, struggle, and letting go with 104-year-old artist Tony.  

Here’s a quick cut of laughter from a man who has a history of joy.

“I just can’t find the time to write.” Small Wins “How do you find the time to write?” I replied, “I don’t find the time, I make the time.” She looked a little dejected as perhaps she was hoping for a simpler answer although my answer, in my opinion, is both the good news and the bad news. It’s both the silver bullet, the easy way, something that’s under your control while at the same time it’s so...

It’s Thursday. Imagine. After Wednesday and before Friday.  Crazy. I know. Where’s your inspiration coming from this week? Here’s mine.

A short story from the Charlie Holiday vault. “Gotta do the deed, dude.” Charlie looked up from his phone but didn’t yet look over to the guy who said it. He thought about asking what he said and the whole who-are-you-and-why-are-you-talking-to-me but it had become so common that so-called strangers just struck up conversations with him that he wasn’t going to bother. He thought to himself, Going...

If you’re reading your audiobook properly, you’re performing. Are you reading your audiobooks into your microphone or are you performing? It’s a big difference. In fact, it might be all of the difference. Listening to a guide in Valencia, Spain today reminded me the huge gap between someone who’s reading words and someone who’s performing.

How about a little magic, love, friendship, and adventure? In this episode of the Repossible podcast, Bandaluse interviews–en Español–La Cuarta Soñadora, author of  Caminante y La Estirpe afortunada . The chance friendship between the son of a blacksmith and a war horse manages to revive the old love of a lady and a knight.

You never know what’s going to happen IF you get started. If you don’t get started with a First Thing, the chances of doing a Second Thing go down to, by definition, zero. I have a new book and accompanying course coming out next Tuesday. But this morning I’m thinking about a book I’m planning on launching in December–now half a year away. I even have 2 or 3 books between now and then. See what ha...

He didn’t know why he knew what to do. He didn’t care and didn’t need to know or care. He just knew what he needed to do and that it was the right thing to do.

How complicated does it all have to be?

Hmm, there might be more than one.

I’m sure you never knew this–now you can’t unknow it. The post re005: John Muldoon on how alpacas can help with audio production. appeared first on repossible .
