Prime Path 32:
The First Big Truth
All right, Padawan, have a seat. Here comes some real coaching. We need to get something straight. I'm going to talk to you like an adult about this.
To cut to the chase: we need for you to tell the truth concerning whether or not your life works. We do that, and we can move on. We don't, and we're stuck.
Here's the underlying coaching idea, which we've seen quite a few times by now: to move anywhere in life, you first need to get where you are. In other words, pretty much to the exact degree that you are willing and able to tell the truth about whether or not your life works, then to that degree we can get your life working. On the other hand, if you don't tell that truth about this, then we're stuck.
The analogy that we've used is someone with a drinking problem. If that person won't admit to having a drinking problem, then they are stuck with a drinking problem.
But, hopefully, you can see how this would apply to a whole host of human issues. This would apply to situations such as: someone with a job that is killing them, who claims to love their work. Or someone who is obese, claiming that they are in decent shape. Or someone in an abusive marriage, claiming that they are in love and everything is fine. You get it. For so long as these people don't acknowledge that things aren't working, they are going to be stuck, and things aren't going to work.
So, does your life work, Padawan?
I don't know the answer to this. But I'm not the person that needs to know.
You are.
People's lives show up in a lot of different ways. There are people who are reading this whose life works damn near perfectly. There are people who are reading this whose life is in ruins. There are people who are reading this whose life shows up every way in between.
But regardless, however your life is going, there's one thing I know: there are things that you need to work on, things about which you need coaching, and things that aren't working. Those are the things that you need to address, and work on, if we're going to get you and keep you moving in a positive direction towards a life lived to the full.
Maybe you are one of those folks whose life is going very well. That's great! However, in many ways, the people that are living the best lives are the people that need this coaching the most.
Living life to the full is not easy. As we discuss elsewhere, one of the reasons for this is because people have a damn near overwhelming propensity to abuse power. This means that people that are living big lives often fall hard. It's a story that's been told countless times.
If you are sitting there reading this and thinking that you're winning big and living large, I'm pleased for you, but I've also got a warning for you: in almost every case, there are things going on with you that are not working, my friend. You need to open yourself to the possibility that these things exist. You need this coaching more than anyone.
Now, get this: we're not talking about why your life doesn't work. There are countless reasons you might have for why your life doesn't work, but we're not going there yet. That's the next conversation.
Remember: this is coaching. What we are doing here works. It doesn't matter if you believe me, or trust me, or even like me. But you need to do what I say. Or you can quit. The choice if yours.
So, there's a minimum that I'm going to need from each and every one of you if we're going to move forward. We're going to need for you to entertain, as a working possibility, that your life doesn't work. You don't have to believe it. You don't have to agree with it. But you are going to have to work with it.
And you are going to say it. Out loud.
So, no matter how many times that you have done this before, I am going to need for every single one of you, right here and right now, to click on the link below this paragraph, and then read out loud the words that you will encounter before you. Do this now.
