CEO's form patterns through success or survival

We form patterns
through success or
survival

We desire or
require

Attention
Affection
Admiration
Respect
Success
Sustenance
Shelter

We are drawn to
them,

Evolutionarily
programmed.

We are drawn to
salt, fat, sugar,
umami.

We are drawn to
Rhythm, music,
movement, play.

We are drawn to
connection,
and hierarchy and
not losing them.

We are drawn to
gathering resources
to ensure future
survival.

Our brains
programme into
us those patterns
that allowed us to
achieve what we
are drawn to.

The perfect
survival system.

But it requires
constant
attention,
adjustment,
and
upgrade.

The systems we
used to gain attention,
and affection from our
mothers when we were
4 will not serve us
in our intimate adult
relationships.

In fact they are more
likely to create repulsion
and a lack of trust.

The systems we used
to gain praise and
applause when
we were 10 are
quite likely to
cause the
opposite
response
today.

The system of
waiting for the
pressure to arises
before beginning
the project that
served so well
in school will
like cause
chaos today.

The system of
using alcohol to
connect, to
calm nerves,
to be yourself
will eventually
lead to pain,
disconnect
and
disease.

We can always
see where we
need to evolve,
we often pretend
not to know,
But it’s evident
in our
relationships
our health
our happiness.

Disfunction
Disconnect
Disease
Disillusionment

All a product of
of our failure to
reflect, review,
and revise.

To define,
refine and align
with what we
belief about life
the universe and
everything.

What we believe
about diet, sex, energy,
politics, sleep, money,
health, marriage,
happiness, emotion,
Stress, leadership,
friendship, success,
religion, learning,
respect, fairness,
freedom, fun,
obligation,
contribution,
growth,
the planet,
everything.

This is the process of being alive!

By our action
we demonstrate
who we are.

And our action
reflect what we
truly believe.
