Stuck In The Status Quo
Are you stuck in the status quo? If you are, it's
because your ego is dragging its feet; ego has one foot on the shore and
one in the boat, and you're wondering why the boat isn't moving. What
you may not realize, is that you are stuck because you are attached to
your story.
When we were kids, we created a story about life
that turned into an act and in playing that role, we've been trying to
prove something all our lives. Sometimes your act can make you very
successful, and sometimes a story like "there's never enough" will
sabotage your every attempt at success.
My story was, I didn't need anyone. My act made me
self-sufficient and self-confident in a way that fueled my success.
But for as long as I was trying to prove I didn't
need anyone, I couldn't allow anyone to get close and know what was
really going on with me. The real Darel stayed hidden for 40 years
behind that story. Believe me, that whole dumb act was created out of an
erroneous conclusion made by a 4 year old feeling sorry for himself.
We've all got a story, what's your story?
Some examples of stories:
- I have to prove I'm as good as:
-
As long as you need to prove it, it isn't so
-
If it were so, you wouldn't need to prove it
to anyone
- There's never enough money
-
You can't be prosperous until you have both
feet in the prosperity boat
-
Even when you create more, no matter how much
money you acquire, there'll never be enough
-
Even when you're about to manifest more than
enough, you'll spend it before you make it in order to maintain the
reality of never enough
- My parents labeled me a failure
-
My parents are good people - I can't make them
wrong
-
Even if I begin to succeed, I'll sabotage my
success
To give up the need to prove something, your act,
you'll need to realize that your story is just a reality illusion you
created as a kid, and you've been living out that need to prove
something all of your adult life, up until now.
To free yourself of the childhood conclusion that
has run your life up until now, you'll have to admit that it's just a
story you made up. Once you've recognized it as the story of your life,
you can detach and move on to the success you said you wanted, but
couldn't have because you were stuck in your story.
Or that story fueled your success, but you were
trying to prove something that will never be so until you no longer need
to prove it. Please get how attached you are to your story.
The apostle Paul said,
"Be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind."
Transformation is about changing your mind about
who you are. You've been doing that all
of your life. Every time you step out of that box to create a new
reality, you've grown in consciousness, you've become a little more
consciously aware of your true identity.
You'll double the speed of the transformation
process once you've learned the art of detaching from, rather than
waiting for your ego to destroy in order to move on.
In the process of detaching, you might want to begin by asking yourself,
-
To what story, am I attached?
-
What am I trying to prove?
-
And to whom?
-
Why do I need to keep proving that?
-
What would be the benefit if I no longer
needed to prove it?
-
Am I ready to detach and more on?
You'll be in awesome wonder of how great life can
be when you no longer have to prove anything!

Chapter 2 - Our Resistance To Change
from my book
"So, Why Aren't You Rich?" -
Pg. 35
Transformation is the process by which
you change who you are
in order to have what you want from life.
When you are transformed, the ego dies and is
reborn into a new reality. You will better understand your ego if you
can think of it as an idea come to life--an idea about who you are that
must always be right in order to survive.

Chapter 5 - Your Self-Image
from my book
"Being The Solution" -
Pg. 50
The second of the nine steps to a new reality
is to:
accept that you chose what
you have.
In other words, you need to understand that you
live in a box of your own creation. If you refuse to see that you
created the box, you'll never find your way out of it.
