Time to Be Your Own Best Pal

By habits in Procrastinating on December 27th, 2009

Why do we get in our own way and often prevent ourselves from fulfilling goals that outwardly are so right for us?

There lies one of the great paradoxes of humans. Self sabotage has happened to even the best of us. You’d think it would be easy to stop doing it once you know that you are. But things are rarely that simple.

What you need and what you want are often quite different things. We like to think that we are consciously in control of our fate but this is merely an illusion. Occassionally you find the rarest of people where it is true because their values, beliefs and conscious desires in alignment. These are those people we often envy, not just for their success in life but also because they are truly content with their lives.

Now envy is not a very productive emotion, it is unlikely to help you on your journey unless of course it inspires you to get your own act together. You must start by being proactive and looking for triggers and tools that you can use to start a dialogue with yourself.

This is where it begins, although it may be hard to believe at first. Living the life you’ve dreamed of really begins when you truly know yourself. Notice the language that I’m using, dreams can be more than just entertainment they can also be messages from your unconscious. Wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have to hope for your unconscious to send you a message? What if you could find some tools that kind of gave you a hot-line to your innermost thoughts and desires?

You don’t have to hide yourself away in a monastery for years, or enter some mystery school. You can start using such tools today. Don’t look for short term solutions, find the right tools and they will last you a lifetime. There is no one book that has all the answers, no simple test that will reveal all.

You need to find the answers from within yourself, sometimes a little bit of gentle guidance is valuable but this is something you mostly need to do on your own. The only person who can ultimately decide if your conscious desires and unconscious ones are on the same page is you.

Of course it is not always possible to get a perfect match but as long as you get close you’re probably going to have a lot more fulfilling life. Notice I’m not promising or guaranteeing that you will fulfilled as some people choose to be unhappy no matter what their lot in life is.

I implore you to not be one of those people, although in all honesty I think some people are happy being unhappy and their self sabotage regime serves them well. In which if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. It’s a funny old world and each to their own.
