You know I have been leaning lately to the fact that failure has tons to do with how we arm our mindset from the strain future failures. It always looks like failure is getting the bad wrap of causing all the collateral damage when it really plays an important role in the production of all of our success events.
Today, let’s give failure an even portion of our appreciation. I Know that it seems to hurt us but I’ve come to the point where I now realize the truth.
Failure is our friend. Success our hero.
I’ll coin this:
Compared to success a failure is much more fulfilling. At least after I have one I don’t want another soon after.
Did you know that almost 20 years ago scientists discovered that there’s a second brain in the human body? Turns out that in our body’s mid-section there’s lots of nerve cells similar to those found in the head brain. What possibilities could this other brain mean for human ability?
Researcher, David Parsons, has been studying this little-known second brain for nearly 20 years and now teaches what he calls “Brain Balming“ a new technique utilizing this newly-discovered gut brain to help our other brain think smarter.
In this interview David will share:
• What is the second brain?
• Why do so few of us know that this brain even exists
• The one thing that this new brain can’t do that is its greatest asset
• “Brain-balming” – What is it and how does it work?
• What’s the most important feature of this new brain that neurologists can’t study?
• The answer to a problem about thinking that troubled Albert Einstein
• The strange connection between the gut brain and the ancient story of David & Goliath
This interview with David will be fast-paced and exciting for any listener who wants to learn more about how they can get better results out of living life without over-worry and stress by using what they already have right now where they are.

Crumple zones work by managing crash energy, absorbing it within the outer sections of the vehicle, rather than being directly transmitted to the occupants, while also preventing intrusion into or deformation of the passenger cabin. This better protects car occupants against injury.
-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I love the idea of crumple zones. They have saved a lot of lives in car accidents since they were introduced by Mercedes-Benz in the 1950’s.
But I have a new use of the term. What if a type of crumple zone was available for the human thinking so that when some negative experience happens in their lives people can feel less injury?
A binary usually refers to a system comprised of two parts. Like computer code is comprised of just two numbers 1 and 0. I’m borrowing on this idea a lot lately because, as a metaphor, it helps to illustrate this dynamic of what it is to be human and how success and failure defines us.
This whole duality in motivation thing is discussed rather succinctly in a wonderful TED talk by author Daniel Pink.
In my work with H.E.R.O. when I say that a human being is a binary I’m referring to the fact that these two parts of you, which reside in one body, are often in conflict. In religion the body is seen a egoistic and the soul as realistic. This idea goes back to the ancient Chinese who referred to this duality in humans as the “Yin” and the “Yang” many centuries ago.

A few days ago I was watching the news on-line about the situation surrounding new age guru James Arthur Ray’s fouled up retreat experience that left three participants dead. I picked up on a post by an astute writer who happens to run a New Age type blog. So I checked it out.
