The brain will do everything in its power in order to feel safe and important.

It is not ability that will make the difference but finding the courage to focus on reality no matter how uncomfortable

Because the brain will do everything in its power in order to feel safe and important.

Even if that means pushing you towards the exact actions that will create your failure and away from the things you must face in order to succeed.

It will do this not just with feelings but with stories of why things are different for you and your situation.

It is rarely true complexity that stands in our way but often the illusion of complexity that our brain places before us in order to keep us safe.

I have rarely had a client not make big changes shortly after saying, “can it REALLY be this simple?” The truth is that it’s almost always is.

It is in pointing at reality and challenging those stories of how it is that simplicity is revealed.

Are you telling yourself that your situation is different?

I would blame you if you were. I’ve been there and will be again. That’s hardwired in. But we can go through the process of point at reality and challenging the stories anyway, there is nothing to lose by doing so is there?
