What I'm reading<\/p>\n
This week I started reading Walter Isaacson's new book, \u00abElon Musk.\u00bb.
\nWithout a doubt, Isaacson is one of my favorite authors. He wrote the biographies of Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci, which offered me an intimate glimpse into the lives of two of history's most fascinating figures. Dispassionately, he documents the events of their lives that allow us to understand why they are the way they are, along with that vital force that literally changes the world.
\nI'm on chapter 25 of the book about Elon Musk and I already have a better understanding of why he is the way he is.
\nLet me just give you a tidbit from his childhood in South Africa. His father, a scoundrel, sent him to a \u00absurvival\u00bb camp as a child. Here, children were subjected to the \u00abjungle\u00bb to learn how to survive. They told the older boys to hit the younger boys and take their food. And they warned the younger boys not to be \u00abidiots\u00bb like so-and-so, who died last year by giving up halfway through the exercise. Talk about a culture of bullying!
\nIf you like biographies, this is the author. He also wrote the biographies of Jennifer Doudna, Benjamin Franklin, and Albert Einstein.<\/p>\n
Collecting beautiful people<\/p>\n
This week's thanks go to my mentor Shirzad Chamine, creator of the Positive Intelligence methodology.
\nShrizad comes from a difficult childhood. As a child, his father told him he was the reason for the family's misfortune. As a teenager, he suffered from depression, only to emerge strengthened and create a methodology that has helped thousands upon thousands of people recognize their saboteurs, gain self-mastery, and embrace their greatness.
\nShe says that everything in life is about the desire to grow and become the best version of oneself. And that to understand what it's all about, one must project themselves to the end of our lives and put into perspective what is truly important to us.
\nEverything has to do with attuning more each day with our wise essence and moving further away each day from our sabotaging fixation.
\nSo simple, so profound, so real. Thank you Shirzad.<\/p>\n
The daily struggle<\/p>\n
This week I started an intensive six-month course to deepen my mastery of positive intelligence. The goal is to once again embark on the hero's journey and set myself a life challenge to grow and resolve an issue that is limiting my ability to fully embrace my greatness.
\nToday, still in moments of overwhelming stress, fear and fury dominate me. So, I must enter the cave of saboteurs again and confront them with an intensity and courage that will allow me to develop the self-knowledge and self-mastery that will enable me to return to my work of reducing useless suffering in the world, with complete love.
\nThis involves intense daily practice of physical, mental, and emotional self-mastery. And participating weekly in various sessions with friends for growth, who will guide us on the hero's journey to recognize, confront, and master our deepest saboteurs. I'll tell you how it goes later.
\nFor now, this morning I already started with 50 minutes of focused concentration. Great.
\nWell, with that I conclude my story, reminding you that you are great and that life demands your greatness.<\/p>\n
Have a great week.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
