Back in October, 2012, I had the good fortune to see Rob Fore speak at an event in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n
At that event, Rob talked about results: specifically, how to get the results you want now.<\/p>\n
It went like this:<\/p>\n
Name something you want, something you really want. What do you really want? Is it freedom? The freedom to do what you want, when you want, where you want, with whomever you want, and to have more than enough money to do it all, and take care of all the people that you love and still have MORE left over to practice philanthropy? (That\u2019s what I want.)<\/p>\n
Why don\u2019t you have it yet?<\/p>\n
Why don\u2019t you have whatever it is you said you wanted?<\/p>\n
Lack of time? Lack of money? Lack of effort, or direction? Is it fear of failure? (Or fear of success?) Does it have to do with circumstances or situations?<\/p>\n
Whatever it is\u2026OWN it! You allow excuses to hold you back. Nothing \u2013 not any of the the above things I listed \u2013 nothing is holding you back but you.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve set up unconscious roadblocks. We all have them. They\u2019re disempowering beliefs that we\u2019ve picked up along the way \u2013 whether from childhood or some trauma that we\u2019ve suffered \u2013 somehow, somewhere we pick up disempowering beliefs that act as unconscious roadblocks.<\/p>\n
We wear our excuses \u2013 all of us \u2013 like a security blanket.<\/p>\n
What they really stem from is a contradiction of intent, a conflict of intent. It\u2019s like the Bible tells us \u201cThou shalt not kill,\u201d and then you got to war and are ordered to kill. What do you do with that?<\/p>\n
You see, your conscious mind THINKS it is in control, but the reality is that your UNconscious mind is in control.<\/p>\n
The job of your unconscious mind is solely to keep you alive and well \u2013 physically, spiritually, consciously \u2013 the unconscious mind is always looking out for your best interests, despite what your conscious mind says \u2013 to keep you alive and out of any and all danger.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it\u2019s job. To keep you alive and out of any and all danger.<\/p>\n
It could be real physical danger, spiritual danger, emotional danger\u2026think about it, how much \u201cwork\u201d do you do to keep from being embarrassed?<\/p>\n
\nYour unconscious mind has literally stopped paying attention to your conscious mind. You say one thing and the opposite happens: I\u2019m going to lose weight \u2013 and you eat junk. I\u2019m going to work this business, and you spend your time goofing off.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Your unconscious mind fired your conscious mind a long time ago. That\u2019s why in January, when you set your New Year\u2019s Resolution, it doesn\u2019t work. Your unconscious mind controls your behavior.<\/p>\n
If what you consciously say you want to have conflicts with what you unconsciously know to be true and safe to you \u2013 with what you believe \u2013 you will never get what you want. Survival will always win, despite what you think, despite what you hope for. You will never win.<\/p>\n
Mar consciously wants to lose weight and decides to go on a healthy diet. She does great, and then \u2013 out of the blue \u2013 Mar pigs out. Self-sabotage? Self-preservation!<\/h2>\n
Consciously, Mar says that she wants to lose weight, but back when Mar was 5 years old and cute as a button, Uncle Slime Ball Maggot asked her to play hide and go seek and Mar was molested. What she learned was that cute little kids \u2013 trim and fit and full of life, get traumatized, they get raped. And so here she is and she starts losing weight, she starts looking good and her brain goes \u201cDanger! Danger!\u201d and she gains the weight back.<\/p>\n
If what you consciously want to have or to become is known to be unsafe to your unconscious, you will hit a roadblock.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what happened to Mar; she held a disempowering belief that literally prevented long-term weight loss.<\/p>\n
Drunk Driving. From the outside looking in, John looks like an idiot. It looks like self-sabotage. But it\u2019s self-preservation.<\/p>\n
John comes from a strict, religious family. They raised him to believe that you can\u2019t serve God and mammon. John\u2019s belief system is so strong that he feels unconsciously that he is at risk of eternal damnation if he earns more than he \u201cshould.\u201d<\/p>\n
