Hi %$firstname$%,
Last week we completed Chapter 9 - Being Transformed from
my book Being The Solution. This chapter covered Step #6,
Transforming Yourself. This week we begin the next chapter - which covers Step
#7 of the 9 steps in the transformation process - Understanding Ego Resistance.
With the power of
negative mind chatter
ego will try,
desperately, to get us back in our box.
Mind Chatter
From time to time,
we will have second thoughts about our decision to change our life. In every
weak moment, when our thoughts turn away from our vision to consider the
possibility of failure, our ego will put FEAR in our heart. Don't fight the
fear. Expect it. When we're feeling that fear, we will know that our ego is
running the show and that it's time to put ourselves back in charge.
That ego-resistance
will show up in the form of the reasons why we shouldn't, couldn't or wouldn't
complete our mission. When we originally chose not to be rich, we gave
ourselves what we thought were good reasons for that decision. We've been
justifying our choice with those reasons, ever since. Now that we've made a
new decision, those reasons will confront us in the form of mind chatter.
Mind Chatter looks
like:
Our way past the
mind chatter and ego's fear of change is not to fight with our ego, but to
understand its fears so that we will know how to deal with them. The idea is to
get our ego working with us on building our dream.
Step Seven of the
nine steps out of our box:
...understand and learn how to deal with the resistance.
Below are the first
six of the nine steps out of our box towards personal freedom. If we have not taken
any, or all of these steps, reading this chapter may help us understand why
we haven't acted so far.
-
Rediscovering our
power of choice
-
Agree that we chose
what we have in our lives
-
Decide what we
want from life
-
Create a burning
desire for it
-
Actually choose to
BE the one who will have it
-
Reading the recent
issue of the newsletter began the transformational process.
If you haven't chosen
to BE the one who will DO whatever you must do to HAVE your life be the way
you've always wanted it, reading this chapter may move you to the point of
choosing.
Next week we will
talk about the fact that our reality is nothing more or less than a point of
view that can be easily changed.
I am please to announce that my new blog is now up and running.
