Something to Share

Ok,
So I was trying to share my music uploads through email to Windows Live Skydive.

It wasn’t working.

So I’m incrusting an access link here:

Make sure you deliver

When was the last time that you did everything you promised to yourself you were going to do on any given day?
For me it was the day I finished recording the backing tracks for my singing lessons. I went to bed at 4:00 am and I had to wake up at 8 so I could get on time to a workshop I was invited to with Robbie Kramer.

What is the sensation that you’re left with when you do that?

I was very happy with myself, like I haven’t in a long time. The tiredness wasn’t even compared to the sensation of having accomplished what I wanted during the day.

The contrast in feeling is immense when the contrary happens. That is, you don’t complete what you promised to yourself. You feel abandoned.

So ask yourself:
In order of priority, what is the most important thing I’m gonna do today?
Then just do that one thing with 100% of you behind it and don’t worry about the rest.
Then see how it feels.

Live is easy once you start loving it.

Yesterday I went visiting my friend Shawn Davie. I had the best time in a long time but I didn’t realized it was that much good until I left. I really appreciate that the universe set me on a path where I could find a friend with the qualities that I love and knows many things I’ve always wanted to do/learn. That visit left me with a sense of appreciation for what my life is now and the people I know. That moment at the end of the night was the most beautiful end for a weekend where I really learned to appreciate where I’ve gotten to in my growing.

Thanks to Robbie Kramer for inviting me to his workshop for this weekend.

You need to stay present

einarcoutin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:55:25 +0000

I just internalized a very important lesson. In whatever you do, STAY PRESENT.
It means that you have to put all your self into what you are doing at the present moment.
There are many reasons for this including that’s the key to feeling alive but also is that staying present is the only way to be really authentic in whatever you do. You need to observe your inner self as well as the outer reality. Feel all the feelings you are experiencing at each moment and then live through all of it. Don’t run away from your anxiety, fear, pain or whatever you’re trying to avoid harm from. Let ALL of it live and move through you.
If you’re grounded you’ll be able to let it flow as that’s what life is. If you don’t know what being grounded is, find my firsts posts and follow the links.

Try this one sentence on your life and you’ll see a difference.
Let the live that wants to live you live through you.
Hope it helps you.

Thanks.

For the guys

einarcoutin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:08:44 +0000

Here’s something I want to share with you guys. I hope it serves you well.

What’s your biggest frustration with women?
That I have to step into tension and feel a lot of pain first in order to have fun and let go. It’s never about the girls. It’s always about me dealing with my own emotions.

What have you done so far (not tried) that hasn’t worked?
Mystery method, Style Life Challenge and most of all with some results and lots of crashing: State Pumping.

What have you done that has worked?
Have fun and let go. Gets girls attracted effortlessly.

What’s your biggest fear when it comes to interacting with women?
That I won’t have any fun.

What worries you – what are you afraid will happen if you don’t do something immediately?
I will stay stuck up and I won’t enjoy my life to the fullest.

What would you be willing to do to solve this challenge?
Exactly Nothing. Ask if you don’t understand.

If you could have one question answered about getting out of your own way, which one would it be?

How do I motivate myself to do it? How do I learn to love the pain so I can get to the fun beneath it?

Where do you want to grow from?

einarcoutin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 17:53:05 +0000

It’s interesting. I’ve reached a point where stepping into tension, the unknown, where you feel uncomfortable. However you want to call it. That what makes us grow because it’s how we expand our comfort zones has become harder than ever before.
If you take a look at the lives of some millionaires or incredibly successful people their lives go like a roller coaster. Sometimes they’re way up high and all of the sudden they sink into a hell of trouble. Until they reach a point of stability. Richard Branson’s Losing My Virginity points that out very clearly on its first chapter.
That’s the way I used to step into tension. As the only resource for grow I would always first shrunk into a point where my comfort zone was so very small that I couldn’t take the uncomfortableness anymore.
For example, that’s how I got selected from over 250 people to work with EDS, a transnational that competed directly with IBM and Accenture in the outsourcing business. That trip took me to Argentina, a place I’m in love with. I learned a lot about the world and people and I learned to enjoy things in lie more than I ever did before. I also took a taste of how it is to live in the present, because tomorrow you don’t know what’s gonna come. I basically traveled every single day.
After this, I ran into a crash and went back to Venezuela, to a place in the middle of the mountains where you can never see the horizon. My comfort zone shrunk back again. I was locked up at my place, living from my savings and I didn’t wanted to see anyone. I basically didn’t told most of my friends I was back because I wanted to experience being alone for the first time in my life.
Then I pushed again, and well. Now I’m here, in a place where it has never been easier and at the same time more dangerous to make decisions in your life, and that’s because they always carry on sizable consequences and I love that.
The funny thing right now, is that I feel I can’t inflate myself as I used to. It’s become harder to step out the comfort zone because I’ve been doing it from a place of consciousness, where the drama that’s usually surrounding this activity is beginning to dissipate. The anxiety has multiplied and everything feels heavier, but for some reason I also feel a lot better when I push it and beyond all I’m o.k. with whatever the outcome is.
I’m learning to let go.

What is the most valued resource in these times?

einarcoutin — Sat, 29 May 2010 00:48:59 +0000

I could write an article trying to convince you about the daily evidence I have found on which is the most valuable resource as I see it gets requested more and more combined with some research to use as data.
Instead I’ll just let you vote and post your own opinions.

How would you like to be TabNapped?

einarcoutin — Thu, 27 May 2010 20:32:31 +0000

That’s right. There’s a new kind of Phishing attack to steal your information created with the intention of disguising some of your browser’s tabs as one site that you trust which requires your log in information by using the principle of memory malleability. For example: Gmail. This way, the perpetrator can get your log in info without you even noticing and then redirect you to the real deal.

User names and passwords are not enough anymore:

How is it that we grow?

einarcoutin — Mon, 24 May 2010 23:39:31 +0000

I was thinking on my experiences this weekend. I definitively had some breakthroughs. I began wondering, because when I get the feeling I grow by tiny bits it is different and yet rewarding. Somehow those moments escape us and seem to go unnoticed until our comfort zones are tested. Then you realize how useful growing like this is. Even if it is 0.01% of what you currently have a day.

I don’t think there’s one better way and I do want to grow from a state of Joy, where the emotional roller coaster of constant state pumping is not there anymore to bother me with its usual crashes. When they come, now I know it is time to stop. The more I do stop, the better they stop.

It was like poetry

einarcoutin — Wed, 19 May 2010 23:26:10 +0000

This one is for those who are trying to understand the emotional thread:

She was a beautiful, middle sized, cute blonde lawyer. I looked at her and she gives me a half a smile.We make eye contact as she approaches. I can feel the energy increasing, there’s no thing like it. My inside goes: Tell her. I was feeling “I want to see that cute smile to its fullest”.
I go: So? How much are you gonna charge me? For a second my head was afraid she wouldn’t get it. But we were connected and then, she laughed out loud. And here I was thinking: All this effort? Where should I go? How do I get what I want?
It was a beautiful moment.
