Change

By Chip and Dan Heath from Seth Godin’s “What Matters Now”

A troubled teenager named Bobby was sent to see his high-school counselor, John Murphy. Bobby had been in trouble so many times that he was in danger of being shipped oﬀ to a special facility for kids with behavioral problems.

Momentum

By Dave Ramsey from Seth Godin’s “What Matters Now”

Malcolm Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an “Outlier.” He is, of course, right. My mother says practice makes perfect. She is, of course, right. A billionaire friend once told me to read one of the best stories on successful living,

“You Don’t Understand Me!”

An Issues Clearing Model for Better Communication

“You don’t understand me!” a wife screams at her husband. “How can I possibly understand you?” shouts the husband. “You’re not making any sense!!”

A mother bemoans to her teenage daughter, “We never spend any time together. You’re always out with your friends.” The daughter snickers

Commitments, Demands, and Desires

I’d like you to meet Sam. I’m introducing you because Sam wants some important changes to occur in his life and he keeps failing to get them. He wants to be rich and he’s not. He wants to be in a loving relationship and he’s not. He wants to be free and he’s not.

You Are Brilliant and the Earth is Hiring

The Unforgettable Commencement Address to the Class of 2009, University of Portland, 2009 By Paul Hawken

When I was invited to give this speech, I was asked if I could give a simple short talk that was “direct, naked, taut, honest, passionate, lean, shivering, startling, and graceful”. Boy, no pressure there. But let’s begin

Predictably Irrational

The Surprising Science of Motivation

BBC Video – Dangerous Knowledge

This BBC video about iconic mathemeticians who sought ultimate knowledge at all costs is outstanding. The line between great mathmeticians and great mystics can be very fine indeed.

Erin July 16, 2010 at 10:12 am Wowza! I curled up with my cup of coffee, looking out at the hills in Park City and delved into the most amazing 15 mins of my vacation. Thank you for this. I knew from our work together that this would be powerful but this lifesheet was truly and exactly what I needed at this moment in my life. I sent this to friends to everyone that I know would benefit from your work. This is a tool for everyone at any point in their life where they simply need a perspective shift. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Diana July 16, 2010 at 7:05 am I just completed Lex’s Purpose Lifesheet and was amazed by the results. I’m at a point of transition in my life and working to get clarity on what is important going forward. The dynamic completion aspect of the worksheet was terrific–I was impressed by the system’s ability to take disparate thoughts and weave them together into a cogent statement that I ‘tweaked’ to get a purpose statement that works and is authentic. I’m looking forward to completing Lex’s Clarity and Forgiveness Lifesheets.

Zac July 15, 2010 at 4:20 pm Having done about a thousand “clarifying” exercises over the past decade, I have to honestly tell you I wasn’t expecting any real “results” from doing this lifesheet. I basically thought it’d be a waste of time. And I’m humbled and happy to report that I was dead fucking wrong. I chose the single most hairy and complex decision I’m facing – whether to move my family and my company to Austin. This is a decision that has plagued me every day for months now. Literally every single day. And out of nowhere – this little online sequence totally ROCKED me. I mean, I feel retarded for not seeing the problem before. The problem was that I was *waiting* to see how Austin would be for us – like it will either be good or bad – instead of *creating* how Austin will be. You know…defining what I want it to look like…how it will feel…what it will enable us to give back to the world. All that stuff in the exercise that I KNOW but had somehow completely forgotten. Anyway, I just scheduled lunch with Sarah today so we can talk about how to *create* the whole thing together. So simple. I seriously can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before. So thank you, Mr. Sisney. You somehow cut through my iron-plated spiritual cynicism and into the eternal unwavering truth of how we actually create our lives in this world. I hope and trust you’re receiving the same clarity and freedom you’re dispensing.

Lilipondering July 15, 2010 at 11:31 am Lex, this process is brilliant! Thank you for this beautiful gift you’re sharing. I’m excited at the prospect of going through all the issues I’ve been stuck on and clearing them out one by one. I’ve been doing these every day and feeling the spaciousness and joy of letting it all go. It’s such a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EJ July 15, 2010 at 11:22 am Thank you, Lex! This was a great exercise. It really helped me shift my perspective on an old issue I hadn’t made peace with for years. I also want to share that, at first, I felt resistant to answering the questions in writing (I’ve always struggled with that, and tend to do this kind of work silently, in my head). The more I went into the lifesheet, though, the more I saw the wisdom of it – it brought out greater insights and helped me process them more deeply. I look forward to doing this again!

Christina July 25, 2010 at 4:02 pm The outcome for me was that I re-centered and found a nugget of truth that happens to be the key to my existence. Thanks Lex!
