Understand yourself; transform your life.
The power of understanding what you value.
I’m going to cut the bs. Will be a short one this week.
Most of us are stumbling around, trying to survive, avoiding getting shouted at. Listen, the fact that you’re privileged enough to own an electronic device means one thing: you can do more, you can THRIVE. Life begins when we move from surviving to thriving. So how do we thrive? We move from living to co-creating reality.
If you really want to thrive, fulfil your potential, give it your all, squeeze your vessel for all its worth, you must bring your unconscious goals and desires to the surface. Once you know them, craft your life around them. Firstly make the unconscious conscious, then co-create your reality through deliberate living.
Most never go through this process. They don’t know what they value, or what their goals are, and because of that, never thrive, and don’t become who they could have been.
It amazes me that most will live 70 years without ever sitting down and asking themselves… what do I like? Do I value exercise or meditation more? Do I value living in nature or making an impact on the world more? How can I create a life I will love?
Then, because we don’t understand ourselves we are slow in making decisions, we don’t know what kind of life we even want, we don’t know how to act. Life is very confusing, there is no direction, there is no fuel.
Not making a choice is a choice. So not making the choice to consciously craft your life means you are choosing an unconscious life. That life is the life of living on the path of least resistance, a life you will surely regret.
Instead of consciously creating a life aligned with our deepest values, we ride the tides of the collective unconscious, and the desires of our lowest self.
Maybe you think “yeah I know what I want.”
Alright think about this: A problem we can encounter in this process of life-design is that of negative motivations. Sometimes we are running away from life, more than we are running AT it. This is the lower self sneaking back in, the fear based self sneaking in the back door.
Do you pursue health for high energy? Or because you’re avoiding illness?
You pursue excellence for what? Oh to run from disappointing your parents.
So first you have to find what you really want, deep down, past all the programming. Find the things you want (not what you’ve been programmed with trauma to run from).
Once you clearly know your values, design your whole life around them. Set your goals around them. Your life will begin to feel so aligned, every action/emotion/thought will align, to propel you towards success. That sense of confusion and lack of direction will evaporate, like you’re stepping out of mist, it’s beautiful.
This is an aspect of my coaching program which will be available form the 27th, I hope to help many of you go through this process of self-discovery, lifestyle architecture and strategising to actualise this vision.
That’s all for this week guys, thanks for reading (:
