FOUR ADDICTIONS or why people whose job is to help you, can"t and won"t


Here is a quote from Rob Brezsny"s weekly newsletter to illustrate that "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong".

Answers that sound like solutions... but aren"t... they just hide the problem deeper... so we get further away from the truth.
Our ability to pursue our dreams can be inhibited by four addictions:

1. an addiction to what other people think of us;
2. an addiction to creating melodrama in a misguided quest for excitement;
3. an addiction to believing we"re imprisoned by what happened in the past;
4. an addiction to negative thoughts that fill us with anxiety.
(Thanks to success coach Tom Ferry for these ideas.)

The good news is that it is your birthright to beat all four of those addictions. The work won"t come fast or early, and it may never be perfect. But it"s quite possible
The above is an example of how coaches teach us. It"s all surface. Simple, easy, and not true. 99% of what you find in books on the internet, in articles, is simple, easy, and not true.
Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong. H.L. Mencken
