TRUST YOURSELF: A practical guide to achieving any goal and living beyond fear
Another awesome post by Benjamin P.Hardy over on Medium (https://medium.com/@benjaminhardy/trust-yourself-a-practical-guide-to-achieving-any-goal-and-living-beyond-fear-c70bd672e273#.woxff5jjj)
Here is his introduction (you'll have to go to the link for the rest)
Life is not meant to be easy.There are seemingly infinite constraints (e.g., genetic and environmental influences) stopping you from being and living as you wish.However, the primary obstacles stopping you from being and living how you want are:
The lack of trust you have from yourself and others
Your emotional intelligence — specifically, your ability to understand and manage your emotions, what psychologists call emotional regulation
Until you can be trusted, first by yourself, and then by others, you’ll never be who you want to be. You’ll always be living a lie. Inside, you’ll never feel clarity, congruence, or conviction. Said Mahatma Gandhi, “To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.”Additionally, until you can understand and manage your emotions, you’ll always be a slave to them.Safety is overrated.Sadly, most people are living a lie. They don’t keep commitments even to themselves. They don’t accomplish their goals and dreams. They are bound by fears and other emotions they so desperately want to avoid.Nevertheless, if you’re willing to do the hard interior work of living a life of trust and emotional freedom, there are absolutely no limits to your growth and potential.
