I like your post. Mind mastery – yes, life’s an inner game. Everything hinges on the self, so self mastery is the key. Many successful people are self-made, while others struggle against them-selves.

Hill’s list. For many change is hard, it goes directly against their belief system – just like the elephant pulling on the stake. No matter how hard they pull, there’s the illusion of something holding them back. The harder they pull, they more they reinforce the existing belief. Then their feelings come back to bite them. ‘Their-self’ is trying for a different result, which is incongruent with ‘its-self’. ‘

But change can be instant. New (deeper) info can slide in ‘unchallenged’ without conscious effort, form new beliefs, and new decisions follow automatically. Just as the existing beliefs are formed in the first place!

As humans, we’re given the ability to think at a higher level. Unfortunately, we don’t. At least not in the way we were designed to. For many, ‘free will’ or ‘free thinking’ is just their belief system in disguise.

When we become more of our-self, we need less. And the control is in letting go of the control. Trying to control only reinforces what we’re trying to escape from. Your words remind me of the Tao; “true sayings seem contradictory. Act by not acting. Do by not doing. The master accomplishes much without doing”. Know thyself and self mastery, that’s the key to self-made. I’ve created a programme around that, it may be of interest.

There is only one thing holding me back here and that is I don’t have all the education yet that I need to be successfully marketing and I know I am making a super human effort to learn as fast as I can and yet absorb and action the information.

I know that at times I need to slow down but I can be so inspired and passionate about a project that sleep is something that gets crammed in last at the end of a long day!

You know the saying ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’? that’s because I wasn’t in charge at the time (lol)
