What if I told you that everything you were taught, or at least the majority of it, was

bullshit.

What you were taught about, what was possible in relationship, what was possible in your

life, what was possible with your dreams, with what kind of work you could get paid to

do that all of that was bullshit.

But other people were taught that too.

And so they taught that to you so that you would stay in the box so that you would follow

the rules so that you would stay compliant so that you wouldn't shake the system too much.

And if you just started to shake it, if you just started to want more, they'd call yourself

ish, they'd say you won't be able to make money doing that.

Why can't you just appreciate what you have and you go back?

And this is not to dismiss that what might be called seemingly a normal quote unquote

life cannot be fulfilling.

And this is not to say not to appreciate what you have.

This is to say what happens if you were socialized and cultured and influenced to turn down

the volume on what you desired to keep other people comfortable.

You know, you think about that.

Think about that that we protect people from their dreams because we're afraid that they

won't achieve them.

And then they'll be left in disappointment.

But the only reason we do that is because we don't know how to sit in disappointment ourselves.

And so we try to save people from feelings.
