As far as I know, you didn't ask to be born into this world.  But, here you are.  The minute you're born, the burdens begin to stack up.  How well you bear your bu...2021-02-2308 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveGroundhog DayRecently Punzutawney Phil made his appearance and predicted six more weeks of winter.  That got me thinking about the movie Groundhog Day; and that got me thinking about how easy it is for our lives to be like Groundhog Day...Just repeating, day after day.

First principles reasoning is one of the most effective and  powerful strategies you can use to break complicated problems down to their most basic elements.  From this, you can then develop a reasoned approach to determining solutions.  Basically, what you're doing...2021-02-0910 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveThe Four Noble TruthsIn this episode I deviate from my normal track of teaching based in western philosophy and delve into eastern philosophy; specifically, Buddhism as a philosophy, not a religion. True wisdom can come from many sources.  Only a fool would ignore wisdom just because its source is outside their normal scope of focus.   What we'll consider in this episode is the Buddhist teaching of the four noble truths and the eightfold path.  These four noble truths are the first teachings given by the Buddha and are considered to be the most important lessons learned in the stud...2021-02-0209 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveThe Dynamic Tensions of LifeEverything in life is in a constant state of tension.  In fact, I don't know how you could experience and understand life without these tensions.  The Orientals call this Yen and Yang.  The ancient Greek Philosophers called this the Unity of Opposites.

So, what do you think is the most powerful word you could ever use?  Some might think the word love is the most powerful.  Some might think the word hate is the most power...2021-01-1907 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveChange Your Story/Change Your LifeWhen you think about yourself, your life; what story do you tell yourself?  What's your version of the story of your life?  Are you the hero, or the victim?  Are you successful, or are you a failure?  Are you strong, or are you weak? In this episode we consider the stories you tell yourself about who you are, and the stories you tell yourself about the world.  It's important to understand that you are the author of your stories.

The definition of tool we'll use for this discussion is:  A derogatory term for a person who is used or manipulated by another person or group.  The inference is that a person is being used or manipulated in...2021-01-0509 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveImprove & AcceptAs we wrap up 2020 I'd like to set the stage for 2021.  While many of the negatives of 2020 will bleed over into 2021, so will the positives; and there are many positives.  As you prepare for the new year this would be a good time to consider the positives you will carry over  into 2021. The positives might include things like stronger relationships, a stronger, healthier body, or skills you've developed  which will help you reach higher levels of personal and professional success.  The positive might be a stronger resolve to take charge of your life and do what you can t...2020-12-2908 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveStop Ignoring Red FlagsOne of the most important skills you can develop in yourself is the ability to recognize red flags.  What's a red flag?  A red flag is a warning sign.  It's an identifier that something is wrong, or is a danger.  A red flag may be something you can easily identify and define, or it may be more subtle, like a gut instinct.    In this episode we'll explore the world of red flags.  Just recognizing red flags isn't enough however.  You must also learn to take appropriate action.  That action can range from avoiding the issue, to laying the groun...2020-12-2208 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveThe Six Pillars Of A Healthy MindHave you ever considered the health of your mind?  What is a healthy Mind?  In this episode we'll define healthy mind and identify the essential six pillars required for a healthy mind.

Whatever it is you want out of life I can guarantee you it's not going to just happen.  You must take action; and there are no shortcuts.  It'll take time and effort on your part to accomplish whatever goal you're going after.  No one is going to take you by the hand and do it for you.  Although I do believe that you can, a...2020-12-0810 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveSelf-RespectIf you don't show respect for yourself, why would anyone else show respect for you?  But what does self-respect mean?  What is it? In this episode we'll consider the importance of being respectful toward yourself.  This is a foundational trait that is crucial for leading a successful life. Logically, the first question to answer is why would you not show respect for yourself?  What would drive a person to not be inclined toward self-respect?  It could be the result of words or actions by others toward you.  It could be the result of negative inner conver...2020-12-0108 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveControlled AggressionIn this episode we'll consider the importance of controlled aggression.  The preface of this episode is a discussion about the dangers of labeling inappropriate male behavior as toxic masculinity.  This is a term cooked up by left wing liberals as a tool in their ongoing war on manhood.  In truth, what they're labeling toxic would be more properly termed immature behaviors. I encourage my female listeners to also listen to this episode because you have an important role to play in the success of men. The core topic of this episode is a discussion of the...2020-11-2407 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveAdapt or DieLife is change.  Your world is constantly changing.  Your body; your position in life; your relationships; technology; politics, and weather.  Everything is in a constant state of change. Some of these changes don't require any meaningful adaptation on your part, but most do.  In reality, most of your failures in life have been due to the fact that you either resisted change, or you weren't strategic in your response to change. What won't change is the certainty that change plays a significant role in your life.  How you respond to those changes will determine your level...2020-11-1709 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveThe Patterns of Your LifeWhat patterns can you recognize in your life?  Do they lift you up, or do they drag you down?  You receive the amazing gift of 24 hours each and every day.  Are you using that gift to create a successful life for yourself, or are you engaging in patterns destructive to your goals of success? The patterns of your habits and behaviors define your character.  However, there is a lot of difference between habits and behaviors.  In this episode we'll explore those differences and consider the patterns you've established in your life.  These patterns are fully in your contro...2020-11-1010 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveThe Pursuit of WisdomThe foundation of your true success in life is the acquisition of wisdom.  This is something you should pursue with all your effort.  Wisdom lives in the realm of decisions; and as I've said before, your decisions will determine your outcomes. Wisdom should be a never ending pursuit.  You can never have too much and it can never hurt you.  Most (average) people think that just becoming wise enough to get through life day by day is all they need.  That works if all you want is to be average.  But, if you want to be extraordinary, focus...2020-11-0306 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveLaconicLaconic.  A word you may not be familiar with, but it represents an approach to communication that is valuable for you to consider.  The definition of laconic is:  Using, or involving the use of a minimum of words.  Concise, to the point of seeming rude or mysterious.  The word laconic comes from the Greek capital city of Sparta, which was called Laconia.  The Spartans were well known for their terseness of speech (direct and to the point). the laconic style of communication is just that; direct and to the point.  Using this style of communication means t...2020-10-2708 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveObserve/Plan/ActIn this episode we'll consider a simple three step strategy for improving your odds of having a successful life.  What is a successful life?  I can't determine that for you; you must create this definition for yourself, and that definition may very well change as time and circumstances influence your direction. What I can say about the definition of a successful life is that it requires a mastery of several different aspects of your life, not just one single aspect.  What I mean by this is that your life is very complicated by nature.  Would you consider some...2020-10-2008 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveThe Obstacle Is The WayAs you go through each day, how many obstacles to you encounter?  When it comes to big goals or long-range plans, what obstacles do you anticipate encountering?  We know that we can't necessarily control certain obstacles, which means that we must face them.  How do you do that? In today's episode we'll consider the importance of and the methods for dealing with the obstacles you face every day of your life.  The ability to overcome obstacles is an important life-skill. The first thing you must understand is that most of the obstacles you face each day...2020-10-1311 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveWhen Facts Don't MatterRight now we seem to live in a world  where facts don't matter.  Joe Biden was on a rant last August and made a statement I don't think he intended, but was actually true.  What he said was "We choose truth over facts".  That really sums up what's going on in this country right now. In this episode we'll consider the dangers of the disconnect between truth and facts.  All human beings have a natural tendency to cling to what they consider to be their own truth.  Often, these truths are not grounded in actual fact.  If you try...2020-10-0607 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LivePassionYou'll find a lot of so called experts on personal development telling people to follow their passion when it comes to career decisions.  they say things like "Do what you love and love what you do". I'm sure this advice comes from a desire to be encouraging and positive, but it's actually horrible advice.  In today's episode we'll consider the importance of not letting your passions rule your life and why it's vitally important that you temper your passion with logic when it comes to career choices.  For most people, a career should provide economic abundance along with personal ful...2020-09-2910 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveInfluence"The unsuccessful person is burdened by learning, and prefers to walk down familiar paths.  Their distaste for learning stunts their growth and limits their influence."  - John C. Maxwell - Your level of success in life will be determined by, among other things, your power to influence others, the influence you allow others to have over you; and to great extent, your power to influence your own behaviors (consciously directing your decisions, mood, and your emotions). Influence is tightly bound to persuasion.  From security a mate or partner, to getting a job or promotion.  From deal...2020-09-2211 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveConsequential ThinkingHow many times in your life have you made a decision and done something that you later regretted?  In hindsight you can easily see that it wasn't going to turn out well, yet, at the time, you seemed to have no clue about the disaster you were creating for yourself.  In today's episode we're going to consider the importance of developing consequential thinking to the point that it becomes a habit.  The consequential thinking process is deeply imbedded within critical thinking.  With everything you do it's vitally important that you go through a process in your thinking that supports maki...2020-09-1507 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LivePerceptions and RealityIn this episode we'll consider the importance of validating your perceptions so that your sense of reality is as accurate as possible.  Fine tuning your critical thinking skills in this regard will help you to make decisions less flawed than they would otherwise be.   Your perceptions mold your reality, and you and I perceive things differently.  In other words, we have different filters because we've experienced different things, have differing levels of education, and different brain wiring.  We also have different biases.  Because of these differences in perception, our realities are also different. So how do you...2020-09-0809 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveBehaviorsWhere you are in life right now.  Most of the things that have happened to you over the course of your life.  These are the results of the choices you've made.  Poor choices result in poor outcomes; good choices result in good outcomes. I wish it really was that simple, but you and I both know there's more to the equation.  Once you make a choice, you must then take some sort of action.  That action will usually involve actually doing something, though refraining from doing something can also be considered an action. The actions you t...2020-09-0108 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveTribesSince the beginning of mankind's history people have belonged to tribes.  Tribal membership was vital for support and security.  The worst fate you could suffer was to be banished from your tribe; no longer receiving any support.  In today's modern world we no longer need tribal membership for our survival.  However, tribalism is deeply ingrained in our psychology.  As a result, we tend to seek out groups to belong to.  This is actually a good thing because, though we no longer need a tribe to survive, they are, non the less, important for our success over the course of our li...2020-08-2507 minMasters ProductionsMasters ProductionsStraight Ahead & The 606 Club on Solar Radio with Mornington Lockett & David Lewis Thursday 20th August 2020Straight Ahead with The 6 20-07–20 with Mornington Lockett   WILD CARD - GEORGY PORGY MESSAGE TO BRAZIL - LUKE SMITH SCALLYMATIC ORCHESTRA - DO IT AGAIN BILLY TAYLOR TRIO - LA PETITE MAMBO SOPHIA RIPLEY - WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED LOVE BUDDY RICH - BIRDLAND MORNINGTON LOCKET - INTERVIEW PT1 BODY & SOUL - SOPHIA RIPLEY MORNINGTON LOCKET - INTERVIEW PT2 CALLUM AU & CLARE MARTIN - HELLO, YOUNG LOVERS KANSAS SMITTY’S - JUDGEMENT STAN...2020-08-202h 00superSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveHigh Value or Low Value; The Choice is YoursIf you want to have powerful, long lasting success in your life, you must be, or become, a high value person.  Let's begin with a definition of High Value Person:  A high value person is someone who displays strong character.  Character can be defined as:  The foundational attributes of a person's personality.  Character is a personality structure with many components.  In this episode we'll explore those many personality components and contemplate why you would find it worthwhile to become a high value person, or to become an even higher value person than you already are.

It's important for you to take the time to evaluate your habits...2020-07-2808 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveFatigueIn today's episode we'll consider the toll fatigue takes on your success.  What I'm referring to primarily is mental fatigue and its effects on your mental and physical well-being.  The choices you make each day will determine whether or not you're fully prepared to combat this killer of success. In a fatigued state your mood is altered, you're more likely to feel depression, anxiety, and lack of hope.  You're more likely to accept unwise risks because your judgement will be impaired.  You're more inclined toward anger and lashing out.  Your mind will gravitate more toward the negatives in li...2020-07-2112 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveThe Wisdom of Understanding the Price of Your ChoicesEverything you do in life; ever decision you make; every action you take, has a price.  The first level of wisdom attained in life is this understanding.  Developing the skill of considering the price of everything you do is the first step toward a successful and fulfilling life.   When we're young we tend to make decisions without really considering the consequences of our actions.  This can lead to very serious outcomes that can haunt us throughout our lives.  I've often lamented the sad fact that we tend to make decisions when we're young and least prepared and qualif...2020-07-1412 minsuperSIXX/Learn to LivesuperSIXX/Learn to LiveSix Important MindsetsControlling your focus in life is a critical skill that will impact your level of success in life.  One key component of focus is mindset.  There are many different mindsets you can adopt.  Mindsets of power, or mindsets of weakness; an abundance mindset, or a scarcity mindset...These are just a few of the many mindsets each of us have, or can adopt.  Mindsets are important because they are a filter of our perceptions of life and of the world we live in.  They color our reality.
