Porn for Radio episode 259. Today's podcast is sponsored by Covenant Eyes. Covenant Eyes has been

helping people overcome pornography for over 21 years with their world-class accountability software

and insightful educational resources. Covenant Eyes understands that people find freedom

through supportive and authentic relationships.

And I'm so excited that Covenant Eyes is sponsoring this episode. I love Covenant Eyes.

I just checked my email and found out I first recommended this software back in 2004.

Someone asked me for a recommendation and I recommended Covenant Eyes and I've been recommending it

consistently ever since. Keep listening to this episode a little bit later. I'll share how you can

get a free 30 day trial to try it for yourself. All right. So on today's show, we're doing part

two in our BS series. Now BS stands for belief systems and we're talking about

some of the belief systems that are obstacles to our freedom. Last week we started this series

in our last episode, episode 258 with your personality is permanent. We unpacked the mistaken belief that we have a fixed personality

and that prevents us from taking some of the actions we need to take in recovery.

Well, we're going to follow that up today with another common belief. Your past performance

indicates your future results.

Now, sometimes you hear this in, you know, when you invest in stock or when you invest in a

mutual fund, the bank or the institution that's selling the security will say, hey, past performance doesn't indicate your future results,

does not predict your future results. And they're telling you that because they want you to make

sure that even though they've had maybe 10% growth year over year for the last five years,

that doesn't mean next year you're going to have 10% growth.

Now, so you might be saying, Matt, you're saying that today's episode's going to be called

your past performance indicates your future results. And this is the mistaken belief.
