UNPOPULAR OPINION: You don’t have to “heal the wounds” in order to remove their power over your life.
I know people who are constantly in search of “healing” for their “inner child” or for their “core wounds.” Hours and hours, tens of thousands of dollars spent on YOU NAME IT:
brain mapping
micro dosing
hypnotherapy
somatic psychotherapy
holotropic breathwork
and — of course — more.
I’m not saying AnYTHING negative about these therapies, but if you constantly pick at a wound to better “understand it,” but your BEHAVIOR never changes…
well, any wound constantly picked will never heal. Period.
And awareness without action?
Well, it’s not worth MUCH.
MOST people do not know my FULL story.
I DO have core wounds,
wounds left festering for decades,
wounds that left me vulnerable and reactive to certain events that would lead me RIGHT BACK to the original pain, and my repetitive actions that ONLY hurt me in the end.
Wounds that kept me stuck and striving.
And I found a way out,
a way above,
a way “home” to my SOUL’s potential:
I changed my focus.
I stopped focusing on the hurt
and the “if only I could make them understand,” or “if only I could BE understood,” or even “if only they KNEW”
and I started focusing on my SOUL’s deepest desires,
which
— I believe–
is the way our ACTUAL potential gets revealed to us:
Through the things we find ourselves wanting.
Our DESIRES reveal our POTENTIAL
and perhaps even our purpose.
So, I changed my focus.
And –as a result —
grew more distant from my wounds,
giving them space to heal on their own
AS WOUNDS HAVE A TENDENCY to do,
when not being picked to death.
Yes, i did the work.
I examined and dug deep.
I removed the INFECTION of bitterness and resentment.
And then…
I grew TIRED of my own story.
I grew BORED of my own repetitive behaviors.
So I changed my focus.
And instead of looking backwards,
I started looking forwards.
The future is EMPOWERING.
So i grew more empowered.
I fell in love with my potential
and fell OUT of obsession with my past.
A daily shift…
of focus.
A DETERMINED shift…
of focus.
And everything changed.
P.S. There is NO message
meant to go from YOUR soul
to the HEART of your market
that can’t be monetized.
