I’m obsessed with paradox lately.You know paradox—a statement that seems contradictory but really isn’t. Two (or more) things that appear to be mutually exclusive but both are actually true.My favorite paradox is this: You are whole + perfect + enough as you are right now and you can be better. If you have kids or
Humans assign meaning to everything.That’s what we do. Our brains are wired for it.So here’s what happens:A Big Ass Disaster (BAD) occurs when you’re a kid. It’s often the first really negative or scary thing you remember. (It might be a fight among your adults, or your dad moves out, or a sibling is born
…In case you’re stuck, I’ll share another example. One from my life. It’s not my primary or earliest BAD, but it’s one off them. My mom was dating a man I strongly disliked. I thought I’d be really mature about it and have a talk with her about finally dumping him. I was about 9
Okay, time for an unofficial survey: Does anyone out there not think they should be doing better than they are? Yeah, I know you’re all Enlightened and stuff and you don’t use the word Should. Me neither.And you don’t compare yourself to others. And you know that where you are is exactly where you’re meant
Read this. It’s really good. Here’s the gist: A woman was feeling disillusioned, frustrated, tired. (We’ve all been there, right? I was there most of yesterday.) She was railing against her predominating thought: “Life isn’t fair”.Her very smart coach gently pointed out that life isn’t fair. Because it’s not. Of course.Believing life should be fair
I get this question all the time when I’m helping people with chronic, habitual fear and worry. “But isn’t worry helpful, to some extent?” they ask, fighting for their right to worry. “Isn’t it protective?”From what do you think you need protection? The fear that your mind made up to begin with?Yes, that’s it exactly.
The Universe sent me a note the other day.Here’s what it said: For millenniums, Amy, the path to enlightenment has been made up of many steps.

This is it.There’s nothing to wait for.You’re not getting ready for anything.You’re not in preparation.This is it. There is no “when…” or “if…”Dot, dot, dot isn’t real. Life is NOW, it’s not waiting for dot, dot, dot.If you’re waiting for anything before you start living full out or being happy or enjoying the moment, you’re
This is a piece written by Anna Kunnecke. Anna lives in Tokyo.I begged Anna to let me post this here. Well, she’s very kind and said yes right away so I didn’t have to really beg. But I would have. If you’ve coached with me, or if you read this blog, you know what we
March 17th used to mean drinking all day. I’m not even exaggerating.I’d spend the day with a large group of people—a few real friends and hoards of acquaintances and virtual strangers.
