How to hack the beliefs that are holding you back
Read an article today, How to hack the beliefs that are holding you back. Not sure that I will actually be applying any of those techniques but I do feel as though I’m holding on to some beliefs which are holding me back and I would like to abandon them. I think I’m afraid of being successful, even though that seems silly. I just worry that I’m not qualified enough to be making decisions which will affect people’s lives and I worry about the time in my life being soaked up so much that I don’t have the time to give other people. At the moment if people, anyone, needs me, then I’m available, regardless of how important they are. I worry that if I were successful I’d be in so much demand that I’d have to start picking and choosing who I gave my time to and I’m loathe to do that. I dunno. I’m pretty sure I want to be successful. I’m not sure what’s holding me back. But I haven’t been getting on with things in the way that I feel I should be if I want to be successful.
The dark legacy of Carlos Castaneda
Found The dark legacy of Carlos Castaneda while doing some quick research on Carlos Castaneda. Haven’t read the article… only skimmed it. Figured I’d make a note so I could come back to it when (if) I have more time.
Culture
I heard the television show with Sheldon in it (I forget what it’s called, oh yeah, that’s right, Big Band Theory) on in the background and got to thinking about the cultural background of the main (male) characters: an ‘American’, an ‘Indian’ and two ‘Jews’.
Then I got to thinking about culture and for some reason particularly what I thought of Jewish culture. Basically they seem to me to value intelligence and seek wisdom; and I think that’s respectable.
Then I decided I’m hardly in a position to have an opinion because I have next to no experience in the matter being a relatively unworldly and untraveled individual, and that at any rate in general I cared about culture just about as much as I care about superstition.
