Why we stay stuck: the people and habits holding us back

To achieve something, we need to become the person who achieves it - the person to whom the particular ideas come, who attracts particular opportunities and people. In this episode, I talk about how to walk the hard path at work - easier, better, with better results and better feelings too. There are two things I focus on here: the energy fields we create through our relationships with people, and the energy fields we create through our relationships with things we use. On relationships - the people we keep around us start to affect our identity. We attune our way of being to match the expectations of people around us. And if those people aren't matching who we're becoming, we start to pretend to be who we are not. That pretension permeates every area of life, including work. I share three situations that keep us stuck. One is being in a relationship where we've outgrown each other and started pretending. Another is a poisoned relationship - like an affair on a team - where the energy field is close to impossible to repair. The third is debts and imbalances, where we owe something or expect something from someone, and I talk through the Ho'oponopono meditation as one way to work through resentment. On things, I talk about my own twenty years of using and abusing alcohol, and what changed in the year and a half since I stopped. I also talk about caffeine, and why quitting it gave me more energy than I expected. Whenever we use something, we lean on it, and the energy we give to it, we cannot use for ourselves to go forward in our life. Identify the one thing that is holding you back the most. Invest everything you can into stopping using it. Become the person who attracts opportunities, ideas, and is able to execute them in a way that will lead you to your hard path at work. There's no esoteric, no magic in it. It's just pure logic if we think about it deeper. Inner work. Outer results.
