To get the competitive edge, to really begin attracting the kinds of opportunities you want and need, that facilitate attaining both “life mastery” and “wealth mastery” there’s certain things you may really need to look at, maybe you could consider starting here…

Do yourself a favor and just sit up and pay attention for the next few minutes. Look, I’m aware that I am about to lead you into a place that may be less comfortable than you might prefer. However,where we’re  going will offer you a shortened path to true affluence. That being said, before we take another step, you will want to know this:

What you want doesn’t exist where you are!

Therefore, you will likely have to crawl out your “comfort zone” and cross the “dis-comfort zone” to get the quantum leap in consciousness that brings you your desired future.

Here’s the truth of it…

Part of you has been holding onto something that another part of you actually wants to let go of.

Can you feel that?

Well, until you let go, you are very unlikely to experience that quantum consciousness leap you so deeply desire.

Most people have had the experience of feeling the frustration grow within as the pressure to get somewhere on time quickly slips away. It is a fairly universal anxiety, we can all relate to, but for most of us, not one that requires the need of medication to get through.

There again that is not always true and for some people their medication is literal and obvious. As I’m sure you are aware, some people for example have an anxiety disorder for which they take a prescribed medication. While for others, the medication they use for “what ails them” is less obvious, because what they use to control it can be quite socially acceptable. Sadly, many of us who have used more socially acceptable medications may have frowned upon those who use ones that are not so acceptable.

Maybe you’ll recognize this example…

The workaholic often claims to be committed to providing a better life for their family. Sadly, it is often a family they are not really a part of, due to the work schedule they keep. As I’m sure you can see, if this person stopped medicating themselves with work they would have to feel and deal with the real issues they get to avoid by working.

Does that make sense?

To be absolutely clear, there are numerous ways to medicate yourself both socially frowned upon ones, and socially acceptable ones;

food, TV, compulsive cleaning, volunteering, alcohol, religion, sex, sports … and the list goes on.

None of these can I say are categorically “bad” in and of themselves, although when they are used to avoid dealing with issues in our lives, we are actually using them to medicate against pain.

In other words, whatever you are doing, consciously or unconsciously, to avoid undesirable feelings is the “medication” in your life.

Feelings that are not dealt with become repressed, and
what we repress controls us.

At this point, you may be internally (or externally screaming), “my behavior is not medication!” However, the ego-mind is a liar and that’s who’s doing the screaming.

No matter how nice, good or right a behavior may seem – if it enables you to avoid certain areas of your life, it is a medication!

And whether you believe it or not doesn’t change the fact that, long term it can be every bit as destructive as hard drugs.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

  • I Love "Feelings that are not dealt with become repressed, and what we repress controls us."
    it's so true... feelings buried alive never die.

    Thanks!

  • Hey David,
    You are so right, "feelings buried alive never die".
    The fact is the deeper you bury them the more they expand.

    With gratitude, Dov...

    I used to think that I was afraid of failure - sure we all are, I guess as we all prefer the feeling of success! But I also now recognise that I have a fear of success - it would feel to "foreign" that a part of me can't/won't go there!

    dov is right the ego mind is a subtle force with a thousand reasons to not do my name is mr capps my grand goal is to be able to vibrate in and out of this dimension think thats funny thier are already souls who are doing it several hundred thank you dov
  • Yeah spending time doing what you love is not work - it's play. And it's great to be earning your money whilst playing! Then it's a pleasure to be doing a lot of it.
  • Claudia,
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Yes, you are correct, so many people get lost pursuing money and work themselves into passionless drones. That being said, those who revel in, and are passionate about what they do often work more hours than the workaholic.
    The point here is that it's not about the time spent, it is about discovering what we may be avoiding.
    With gratitude, Dov...
  • I know a couple of people that are working so hard to maintain the family. I've noticed also that when we have conversation about possibilities and opportunities for more money with less work they just don't believe it is possible. Infact my own brother told me those people just sell those ideas to naive people like me so they can get rich doing very little. (My brother is one of the most hard core work aholics I've ever met.) I'm surprised he found the time to even make his kids ;-)

    I'm still finding out what I'm surpressing as I'm not a workaholic more rather like a work avoider...
