Catalyze

Create with help from the WR and its members

You know what you want. You are on the move to getting it. Now what?

This is where you change. This is where you do it differently than you have in the past, where you take risks. To get the result you want, you need to shift your behaviors. Easily said, not so easily done.

Old patterns show up particularly under the stress of change. Your head tells you to do it the old way or the way others do it. Yet, there is some deep part that is saying change, dare to be different. Your voices of the past are loud. What do you do?

You get help. If you get lost when traveling, you ask for help. You ask someone who knows the area to guide you to where you want to go. With guidance, you head off in a new direction with renewed confidence you will reach your destination.

The catalyzing occurs when you combine your vision of what you want with action to achieve it along with the input of something new. The help of others can be what causes change. You don’t need to do what others suggest, you just need to allow the new input to affect your adventure.

As in chemistry, the catalyst creates a reaction that would not exist without it. Allow the Whole Revolution and all its community to assist you at arriving to your new place.

Why can existing be so hard? Why does it feel like you are fighting the inertia of the entire universe to have the life you want?
I doubt you are using your innate capacity to fully live. In previous posts, I’ve written about the Whole Adventure or Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey as being an unconscious movement [...]

Change requires determination, sometimes like that of a competitive endurance athlete. An article in National Geographic Adventure on how to get through adversity, tells the story of how Rosie Stancer attempted to be the first woman to travel solo to the North Pole. She didn’t achieve her goal, but she did survive—minus [...]

Are you wasting your crisis? Paul Romer, a Stanford Economist, first asked this question. Now I’m asking you.
I remember working on a crisis hotline while in college long ago, training others to leverage callers’ crisis into changing their lives. There’s nothing better than a crisis to get someone’s attention. A crisis wakes you up. It [...]

How to Speed Deep Change

by Owen Marcus on March 13, 2009

How to Make the Powerful Easy
You have an instinctual ability to transform your life. Buried in your unconscious-Carl Jung would call it your Collective Unconscious-you have an urge to grow. With this urge comes a deep skill set analogous to your instinctual capacity to survive. When you get out of your way, or out of [...]

Living a Passionate Life
Passion is the fire that gets you moving. Without passion, all you do is get things done. You can achieve, but you need to ask yourself: Was the process fun? Did I end up where I wanted to end up? Did I grow or learn?
My vision of creation is that passion, our [...]

What fuels your success? Is it a desire for money, possessions or fame? Do you hear a voice in your head telling you to get to work? We all have carrots and sticks propelling us forward. Sticks aren’t fun nor do they work well as we tend to resist them. And, the carrots-when we get [...]

This post is from a colleague of mine in the men’s work and personal development trainings. Dmitri Bilgere writes a simple, yet powerful way to transform our screw-ups into breakthroughs.
Can you relate to this? On a beautiful winter day, my wife Fawn and I put our skis in the car and drove [...]

Follow the Energy

by Owen Marcus on February 6, 2009

Does it give or take energy?
What is your payout? Are you getting a return on your investment? Are you putting more energy into a task or relationship than you are getting out?
If you’re like me, you’ve had situations that drained you. You know, the ones that you don’t look forward to. The ones that you [...]

And why would you want to join?
The Whole Revolution is what is happening to the United States and the planet. It is the change emerging from deep within each of us. It is an instinctual desire to be whole-to be complete as a man or a woman. As our old institutions go through metamorphosis, our [...]
