Question: How do I change . . .? (Part 3 of 3)
Question: “How do I interrupt my pattern of saying “Be careful” to my son all the time? I am aware I’m saying it an awful lot” (Part 3 of 3). My final suggestion augments choice by increasing awareness; it is a suggestion that can be applied to any life pattern where the individual wants to…

Gamification
These posts are likely to be quite random in their content, at least for a while. I read a lot, and am often reactive to the content, especially when the content illustrates what I consider the insanity of our culture. Here is what I came across this morning: gamification, the latest gimmickry to sell you…

Question: How do I change . . .? (Part 2 of 3)
Question: “How do I interrupt my pattern of saying “Be careful” to my son all the time? I am aware I’m saying it an awful lot” (Part 2 of 3). So, is “Be careful” appropriate? Yes, with limitations. the child needs to know that an action has potential consequences, many of which may be…

Question: How do I change . . .? (Part 1 of 3)

Both…

I stopped posting (in every way) about two years ago, largely because I did not have a focus in my life as to how to proceed. However, I have remained deeply concerned about the issues of climate change,…

The Problem of Visioning
Having a vision is a problem! There are, unfortunately, multiple problems with having a vision. Earlier, I mentioned three phases to an effective vision. First, an emotionally rich, multi-sensory vision. How to achieve this? Whenever I analyze a problem, and create a detailed statement or list of how I should respond or what others should…

A Vision of A Mature Culture
As I explore the issues of our culture, I start with Vision because it is essential to our being. As the Cheshire Cat said to Alice: “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will do.” Vision is what motivates us: we want to move towards it. (We want to move away from…

The Power of Visioning
Vision is like a good novel — it is a fiction that motivates. From Murakami on Gaza (thanks to John Hanagan on Facebook). Haruki Murakami accepted the Jerusalem Prize for Literature in 2009. This is from his acceptance speech. “Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on…
