How to "doom" yourself to success

September 13, 2022•592 words

How to "doom" yourself to success: https://netmark.pro/38106/how-to-doom-yourself-to-success "Where are you going?" "I don't know." "Then it doesn't matter which way you go." In the book Psycho Cybernetics, the author describes how the mind works: You set a fixed destination in your conscious mind, and then heaven and earth will bend to bring you to that destination. Actually, it is your subconscious mind that is moving you toward the destination that you have set. (That's the "cybernetics"...

If a brand doesn't offer you a network marketing component, they don't care about you?

August 29, 2022•259 words

I'm sorry, but why should I sport any brand's merch if they aren't willing to pay me anything? Network marketing is the way of the future. It's only fair if I'm recommending a product, for the product owner to share some profit with me. Why should I wear the merch of a company that doesn't share any profit from sales with me? Why should I recommend the product or service of any company that doesn't share a portion of the profit from any sales that might result from my recommendation with me?...

Thoughts on Quiet Quitting

August 29, 2022•768 words

Thoughts on Quiet Quitting https://netmark.pro/37750/thoughts-on-quiet-quitting Definition of #QuietQuitting First off, "Quiet Quitting" is defined as doing just enough at your dayjob to fly under the radar and not get fired. As a SURVIVAL strategy, it's not too bad. But that's no way to live a life of SIGNIFICANCE. What's that, you say? You don't have enough money to think about Significance? You're barely scraping enough together to worry about Survival? That's all right, according to...

Options for a critical illness survivor with insurance

June 7, 2022•680 words

The best time to plant an oak tree is one hundred years ago. The SECOND best time to plant an oak tree is today. Wait, what? It shocks the mind at first. If the best time to plant an oak tree is one hundred years ago, then shouldn't the second best time to plant an oak tree be something like 99 years ago or at least eighty years ago? But if you take a breath and let the initial shock pass, then you'll realise that one hundred or eighty years or one year ago makes no difference. You can't go back...

A surreal experience after watching Everything Everywhere All At Once

May 2, 2022•410 words

A surreal experience after watching Everything Everywhere All At Once: https://listed.to/@alphalim/34834/a-surreal-experience-after-watching-everything-everywhere-all-at-once I was at OWL making my specs this afternoon, when a young woman comes in and says to me, "Excuse me, where is shop number 36?" I looked at her dumbfounded. Was this a trick question? Then the optometrist who was attending me said to her, "Uh, pardon?" The young woman snapped to and said, "Uh, Starbucks?" "Oh, just go s...

My WHY I'm doing insurance

April 30, 2022•349 words

My WHY I'm doing insurance https://whyinsurance.netmark.pro https://listed.to/p/CD568DQWGt I was in the doctor's office, looking at his PC screen with the ghostly MRI scan of my brain on the screen. "These scans satisfy the criteria for stroke. It is claimable under the 36 critical illnesses," said my neurologist. Alas, my insurance lapsed years ago. It was a wake-up call to me of the importance of insurance (and of keeping your policy in force). So, I've made it my mission to empower all my...

Acupuncture feels like this

April 28, 2022•220 words

Acupuncture feels like this https://listed.to/@alphalim/34728/acupuncture-is-like-this Acupuncture is nothing, lah. Like antbite. Well, not exactly. More like a mosquito bite. If the mosquito is a Decepticon a hundred times bigger than a natural-born mosquito. Then its proboscis would be about the same size and material as an acupuncture needle. Actually, it's like a swarm of ten to twelve decepticon mosquitoes. Because that's how many needles are used for a session. And then these Deceptic...

Thoughts on Good Friday from as I sit in my church's Bible study room waiting for service to start

April 15, 2022•865 words

Today is Good Friday and Francis Raj shared the old "Watch the Lamb" video with me. It's very moving. Thank you Jesus for your love and sacrifice. And then "Thank You for Giving to the Lord" autoplayed. Another great song. Very moving. Puts things into perspective. It reminds me to examine WHY I do things. And why is that? Why am I doing insurance? I'm doing insurance because: 1.I really believe in it and 2.I really love my friends. So, because of this love for my friends, I want to em...

How to use a crutch - and why I value listening in the sales process

April 11, 2022•374 words

To rely on something unreliable is worse than to rely on nothing at all. Because, if you have a broken leg that's in a cast and you're walking around with a crutch, if that crutch breaks, there goes your leg. It'll have to be set again, to say nothing of the pain of breaking an already broken leg! So, if you rely on something, test it with a partial load first, to make sure it can withstand the full load. Then, each time you're using it, consider it a retest of the reliability of that crutch - ...

Dollar-cost average your life every day

April 1, 2022•331 words

When I look at this BTC price chart, I feel happy. Why? Because I'm dollar-cost averaging every day. Every day, I buy X ringgit of bitcoin - and certain other cryptos. So, on the days that the price is up, I'm happy because my holdings are up. On the days the price is down, I'm happy because I managed to buy more crypto for the same amount of money spent. How we spend our days should be the same. Have your daily practices and keep at them - no matter what. Don't try and give a heroic ef...

You want to be the dumbest person in the room

April 1, 2022•215 words

I'm quite sure that you've heard the advice before, that your level is the averge of the five people you spend most time with. Eric Worre of the Network Marketing Professional, has a hot take on that. You want to be the dumbest person in the room, he says. You don't want to have a posse. Because, if you're the lowest person in your group, they'll pull you up by association. But if you're the highest person in your group, they'll pull you down by association. Having a posse is nice for ...

My finger is sore

April 1, 2022•163 words

My finger is sore. No, not the whole finger. Just one spot where the corner of the fingernail digs into the flesh of the fingertip. I cut my nail too short. Consequently, My finger is sore. It's not noticeably swollen or red, just tender. But, My finger is sore. And that's all I can think about. Well, not really. I go about my day, but I have a little nonverbal voice in the back of my head going, "Notice me, notice me." If I allow this voice to distract me from my workaday tasks, then ...

The most selfless thing you can do is to put in your oxygen mask first

April 1, 2022•751 words

2022-03-25 If you're in a plane and the oxygen masks suddenly drop down, the most selfless thing you can do is to put yours on first. Secure your oxygen supply, then you can help with the children, the elderly and disabled. I feel that my job for now is to heal myself first, so that I can heal others next. Make sure your oxygen supply is secured. If there's no emergency, practise breathing daily by meditating. Focus on your breathing while letting your mind ascend to things above (this is the...

Create a new relationship with pain

April 1, 2022•240 words

2022-03-25 Some thoughts on pain during the acupuncture session just now: There are different kinds of pain. The pain of discipline. -The pain of regret. -The pain of growth. These taste different. The pains of discipline and growth taste bittersweet. The pain of regret tastes bitter. As biological beings, we instinctively avoid pain but are drawn to pleasure. We can train our minds to recognise sweet pain as pleasure, so we'll seek it out. If we indulge in the sweet pain of disc...

When the ideal is enemy of progress

January 14, 2022•223 words

Anything worth doing is worth doing well. But if this gets you into perfection mode and hinders you from doing anything at all, then "good enough" is better than "ideal." Because anything, even mediocre, is infinitely more than zero. Recently, I've been practising sitting in silence for fifteen minutes at a time. Sometimes it goes well. Other times, it's a struggle. Like today. So instead of sitting still for fifteen minutes, what if I sat still for one minute? That's much more doable. Then,...

Just Look (It) Up!

January 14, 2022•306 words

"Don't Look Up" is an awesome movie if you like comedy. While watching it, I remembered watching a YouTube philosopher expound on the difference between "nascence" and "ignorance." To be nascent is to be in a state of pre-knowledge. You just haven't been presented with the facts yet. To be ignorant (or ignore-ant, as he pronounced it for emphasis) is to ignore the facts that we consider inconvenient. Nascence is innocent, if naive. Ignorance kills. The premise of the movie is that there's a k...

January 14, 2022•160 words

In this life, it's not a question of whether I will experience heartache. It's a question of what I will do when when faced with heartache. It's not wise to live as if there will never be rain, because there will be rain. It's a question of preparing for the rain. Maybe even using the rain for my benefit. Because rains have benefits. They bring life. And so maybe heartache brings life, in some roundabout way. Expect there to be heartache. Let it fill your jars. Pour it on your soil and let it g...

January 14, 2022•194 words

Prosperity Is Life's Natural State Prosperity is life's natural state. Prosperity is not absence of lack or want, but rather an internal celebration of abundance which is always present and available to us. Happiness, joy, and satisfaction are really just different aspects of prosperity. They are manifestations of our internal state of being. Beyond having our needs met to a certain level, it doesn't matter how much we have materially - what matters most is how we feel about ourselves and abo...

January 14, 2022•275 words

When you're in pursuit of truth, it's important to learn to gargle and spit. The reason most people refuse to entertain conspiracy theories or even take a look at them, is because, if found true, the truth is too horrible to accept. For example, false flags. These are clandestine operations where a nation state does a terrorist act upon its own citizens and frames its enemies, usually as a pretext for going to war with that enemy. Most people are afraid to even look further into a conspiracy ...

The primacy of gratitude

January 14, 2022•418 words

"God, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to feed the hungry? Do you want me to sell my car and give to the poor? Do you want me to rescue homeless puppies?" All of these are good actions to take by themselves. And so we often come to God (or the universe or destiny or posterity or popular acclaim) with a list of good works to try and fulfill his will... "The will of God is to give thanks," says a particular scripture. Nevermind with my impressive feats of bravado. What God requires is...

Every year, I feel unprepared for Christmas

December 28, 2021•202 words

I feel like I'm not prepared for Christmas every year, and I know it’s because I always set such high expectations. I always try to make the holidays ideal, but I feel like it's impossible to do so. I set such high expectations for myself that it's hard to meet them every time. And what are these high expectations? Just a little something called perfection. But not a perfectly checked-off list of what constitutes a great Christmas, oh no. I’m too smart to realise that won’t satisfy the...

“Delayed gratification.” Who likes the sound of that?

December 10, 2021•506 words

“Delayed gratification.” Who likes the sound of that? Not me. I want my thrills, and I want them now. Titillate me. The idea of delaying gratification seems not only to be difficult but also counterintuitive. However, it is something that has been shown to lead to happiness in the long run. Constant gratification, on the other hand, tends not to build anything that lasts beyond the moment. The internet era has exacerbated a world of instant gratification. We’ve all been there: scroll...

Sometimes darkness can show you the light

One thing I hate - hate - is characters in stories who have no shadow. L...

One Big Why Network Marketing

October 27, 2021•551 words

One of my biggest reasons for believing in network marketing is the whole "teach a man to fish" thing. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day (or one meal, in my case). But teach that man to fish and he can eat for life (unless he refuses to move - then there's no helping him). With network marketing, you have a chance to teach an infinite number of people how to fish. You can even teach those people how to teach other people to fish. You can even teach those people how to teach other...

BE the Pygmalion - use the Pygmalion Effect to create the life you like

October 25, 2021•222 words

The Pygmalion Effect means that people rise up - or fall - to your expectations, depending on what your expectations of them are. This means that in your position of influence, you can affect the performance of your team simply because of your assumptions (aka beliefs) about them. Conversely, if you are under the influence of someone, say a coach or a boss or an upline or a guru, your abilities might be improved or degraded simply because of their assumptions about you. But what are you,...
