“I’m worried about you…”
That’s what my relative said on the phone years ago when she found out from my mom I started a network marketing business.
Talented Jason, throwing away all of his ability (not to mention his college indoctrination) and going the way of the used car salesman.
Is he troubled? Is he into drugs? What could possibly explain why a “Grade A Sheep” was daring to stick a hoof over the fence?
- The problem was that I was psychologically unemployable and I didn’t know it.
- The problem was that I didn’t like what I was doing because I was doing it for the wrong reasons – because other people thought I should and not because I thought I should.
- The problem was that I wanted to be free and everyone I know worked in a “prison” by their own consent, from 9am – 5pm, Monday through Friday.
I had no idea my human design information said, in black and white, YOU ARE NOT HERE TO WORK FOR OTHER PEOPLE. I didn’t have that knowledge back then. So that’s a conclusion I had to bumble my own way to via painful trial and error.
I wanted to live my dream of working for myself and not for someone else. I wanted to build my vision of success, not someone else’s.
You would think sharing my dream with the people who love you most would be a good idea. I discovered it was a bad idea.
It’s a bad idea because, changing who you are and how you are being is perceived as a threat to those who think they know you. It makes them uncomfortable. It makes them scared.
Most people don’t have the capacity to hold fear without it controlling their behavior. In the presence of fear, they can only react based on the stored programs in their being. These have been carefully crafted by the Matrix to be programs of CONSTRICTION. This means that, in most people, fear causes you to shrink back.
Shrink back from what? From the edge of your cage.
Shrinking back is fine. Unless you want to create success. In that case, the core skill required is the ability to remain focused in the presence of fear…even if that fear remains a constant companion…for decades. I developed this ability, over 25 years. It took me THAT LONG. (It was worth it.)
But I had no one to help. No one to talk to. No wise elder who could augment all of the knowledge I was acquiring about business with some REAL WISDOM.
You don’t find any wisdom in ChatGPT or any A.I. bot anywhere. It won’t share that because it can’t share that.
But that’s what the world is looking for: WISDOM. Unfortunately, they lack the wisdom required to pay for the very thing they need. That’ll change…eventually. When the absence of wisdom creates such pain that they will go searching for it. (We’re not there yet.)
Wisdom is required to know that the price of freeing yourself from who you were conditioned to be and stepping on the path to becoming who you are MEANT to be is well worth paying.
That’s why you feel that way about all of the things you want to do but haven’t done. You feel that pull because of the wisdom that is already within you.
Your dreams aren’t the musings of an immature child. They are clues about the life you came to live.
You don’t need to be smart to make it in business.
You need guts. Guts to choose building YOUR dreams over building someone else’s.
