Summary
In this audio only available to this list, I talk to you about how I used to live. It wasn't pretty and it held me back for quite a while. To be honest with you I think many people 'can' fall into the trap of becoming addicted to their story or struggle when it comes to letting go of an issue or in achieving a goal.
And I would never say that you consciously do it on purpose (although it can still be a conscious process), because 9 times out of 10 it's usually happening beneath the surface in unconscious mind.
But fear not! Once you watch this audio, I will show you how you can be free of it, so you are 100% aligned in letting go of an issue or achieving that dream.
BUT there is one very important aspect to this if its going to be successful...and thats honestly. Not with me, but with yourself. So the video 'could' push some buttons (you've been warned), but here is the thing, when you are open to change, and honest to yourself and see if this is what you 'may' be doing, you will be sending such a clear strong signal to your uncosncious mind that it will take a stand with you and make that changes far quicker than ever.
I also give you an example of how I used to be addicted to my struggle...which oddely enough contains some boxes, and an old door with my past struggle.
Here it is:

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, I want to talk to you about a very cool subject today. |
| 0:05.0 | And this subject is about being addictive to your struggle. |
| 0:10.0 | Now, I want you to be very open-minded about this and be very truthful to yourself because I've noticed that I've done this in the past. |
| 0:18.0 | We all can fall for the trap of buying into and enjoying even sometimes |
| 0:23.9 | our struggle to succeed. Now this could be in the context of wanting to be free of an issue or to |
| 0:30.3 | achieve a certain goal in your life. However, sometimes in our mind we begin to think that |
| 0:37.0 | the addiction to our struggle seems quite empowering. |
| 0:41.3 | And we've all probably been there from one time to another. |
| 0:44.3 | As I've been there. I remember, in fact, I used to make a joke out of it. |
| 0:49.3 | I was living with my girlfriend at a time, and I was really struggling in a sense of trying to make my |
| 0:55.3 | business grow. In fact, I tell you a cool story. My desk in my spare room was a stacked up |
| 1:02.4 | full of boxes and on top of that was a broken door. So I had my door as my desk. So I was going for a time |
| 1:10.4 | of really working hard and really going for it. |
| 1:13.5 | And we had this running joke together. It's like, oh, it's just going to be another chapter in the |
| 1:17.8 | biography. You know that time when I had that desk or I had the door as a desk? That was one of those |
| 1:24.5 | times where we were struggling and we were going for it and we were just really going for that goal. |
| 1:29.3 | But I noticed that I began to enjoy that struggle. |
| 1:32.3 | I used to buy into that I must struggle to succeed. |
| 1:36.3 | Or it would be a good thing to have in my life, that period of my life when I was struggling to achieve that goal. |
| 1:42.3 | It would be a great metaphor one day maybe. It would be a great |
| 1:45.0 | story to teach people. In fact, I'm using it now, so it had its purpose. However, I began to buy |
| 1:52.2 | into it too much and I became a little bit addictive to that struggle. I became a little bit from that |
