How to Turn Trauma into Success ππ»
Just finished my first "Breakthrough Experience". It's a 2 day event by Dr John Demartini. And while I've known about most of the principles in the Demartini Method... this one hit different. You see... most problems we have aren't real. We've created perceptions of reality to fit our own narrative. Just like most our fantasies aren't real. We look at success as something to obtain, rather than something we already have within us. We look at all the upsides and glorify something, without realizing the downsides. And when something "sh*t" happens, we look at the drawbacks instead of listing out the benefits. We think in 1st order consequences, without realizing the 2nd and 3rd order consequences of our life events. The more you can bring these things from the sub-conscious into the conscious, the more balanced you'll feel. If you're infatuated with success, the pendulum will bring you into the opposite with guilt when you're successful. Or fear of losing it all. I know I've been there, and sometimes I still am. (until I discharged the triggers and balanced them out) Another example of proof that our brain is lying to us... You look up to people who are "ahead" of you, and you put them on a pedestal. "If I could just be like that person" Without realizing that all you see are the benefits and positives in that person. You don't even think of their drawbacks or negatives. Which means by nature you'll create a distance between yourself and them. And now you've lost your power. That's why you're shocked when a "power couple" get divorced. Or when a successful person has to close down a business. You're shocked because you've only focused on their gifts. Without realizing you too have all the same capabilities. Everyone's both good and evil... To some degree. Everyone's both lazy and disciplined... In their highest and lowest values. Everyone's both greedy and generous... According to what they value. So if you want to be successful. And more importantly, stay successful.
