You’ll notice a change in the directionality of this blog, it’s now purely focussed around my experience of living the MythoSelf process and working with the teaching of Dr. Joseph Riggio.
To give some context to this it’s about how doing what works fundamentally changes who you are. I don’t mean about how you learn to think differently, I mean about becoming who you want to be becoming and living in that in an ongoing way.

There’s a great book by Seth Godin called “the Dip” that talks about this. Sometimes you need to keep going no matter what to reach what it is you want to get. But at other times you need to know what it is that you actually want and know whether this is it or not. And if not, stop doing it. But for some people that stopping can be oh so difficult.
The art of how you know is by learning how to make good decisions, most people have learned how to override their ability to make good decisions by the cultural conditioning they have received at school and just by growing up in society. Where you learn to override what you know is a match and fit for you because you’ve learnt that you’re not supposed to have that or you’re not supposed to do that or your not good enough….
A big secret is knowing that you are good enough. BUT not by wishing as in the Law of Attraction or the Secret but by doing the work, taking action to build the requisite skills and competence. When you’ve done that you know you are good enough, you have the confidence and what before were problems and limitation are just not.
But what’s sad is that some people limit themselves when they have done the work, they still believe they are not good enough. You just need to let go of that cultural conditioning and develop the awareness to know what is really going on. Then you know you’re good enough, or you know you are a work in progress and you just need to put your attention on the areas that need a bit more work. We’re all human. Perfection is not an unattainable ideal, it’s the beauty of doing what works and getting the reaction to that. Learning from it, and taking the next step.
