Success is Scarey

Success is Scarey

Alot of things going on with the success issue.

Like losing yourself and not being able to find yourself.

That was a scarey thing for me.

The self image you have now and the image you're imagining that you'll have if you do the things they're telling you to do and the two don't match.

You're way over here and in order for those other things to happen you'd have to be way over there and you don't know who that person would be or how that person would feel.

But probably even more importantly, you don't know how the transition will come about.

Fear.

It's why you choose certain subjects over other subjects when you're going to college.

Do I have the potential to be an engineer or a chemist?

Heck no!

My level of intelligence is no where near that.

When you get out of your element then stresss is the result.

My question though is whether I'm able to become those things?

Am I able to do those things and still maintain the integrity of my identity?

Sometimes life makes you do things that are hard for you to do but are good for you.

My question to myself is how do I know which thing is which?

How do you know if it's something that will ultimately be good for you or something that is incongruent with you and will cause you to lose your way.

The ability to be clear in my thinking and the ability to make sound business decisions.

Fair and Unfair

I made a cognitive shift today while tapping. It was on the subject of unfairness. I was angry about someone at work receiving preferential treatment.

And while I was tapping, I realized that I had a lot of unfairness issues manifesting in my life.

Joe Schroeder says that "What you give away, you get to keep."

I give "being fair" away all the time.

I've been outraged lots of times on other's behalf at the unfairness I've witnessed and when I was able to intervene and do something about it, I have.

It's been that way since I was a child.

So, it seems like if Joe's statement that "What you give away, you get to keep" were true, then being treated fairly would be my reward. Why not? I give fair away all the time.

But that was not what was happening in my life. I could site lots of examples in the past and in my current reality where I witnessed unfairness to others and myself.

So suddenly, during my cognitive shift, it occurred to me that I believed that fairness was a moral principle and unfairness was breaking this principle.

But what if fairness/unfairness wasn't the issue or even relevant to anything that actually really existed.

What if my outrage about myself and others being treated unfairly was a block that I had an emotional charge on?

And what if, based on the law of attraction, this emotional charge was drawing similar situations to me where I witnessed unfairness or was treated unfaily.

Which, of course, once again, had the effect of provoking my outrage and anger.

And it would continue like some vicious non-stop never-ending cycle that reoccurs and reoccurs until you figure out the true lesson of it.

So if this new analysis of the situation were true, then Joe's statement that "What you give, you get to keep," would also be true.

What I'd been giving out was outrage and anger over unfairness and what I was getting was more outrage and anger over unfairness.

If I cleared this block, would I stop drawing those kinds of situations to me?

Or would those situations still exist but I wouldn't notice them anymore because I no longer had any emotional charge on them?

Or would I see those situations and simply realize that those people who were drawing those situations to them were doing so because of their own emotional blocks about fairness and unfairness.

What if all the truths I thought I knew were actually incorrect thinking that had turned into blocks holding me and others in a place none of us even wanted to be in.

So I decided to take care of things on my end and see what happened.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
