People want to become the person they are in their dreams…
They are not that way… obviously.
Becoming that person is like being a Michelangelo at the stone quarry looking at a block of marble and seeing if the sculpture they see with their mind’s eye fits it.
If it doesn’t fit, you need a bigger block of marble.
But no matter how big a block you choose, it will take two kinds of work to get to the David of your imagination: the work of awareness and the work of chiseling.
Chiseling is the easy part… honestly. I bet you thought that was the hard part.
Pleasure seeking behavior… or more aptly let’s call it: avoiding pain behavior
There are two kinds of pleasure.
- Pleasure that is immediate, impulsive, and requires no or little sustained effort and
- Pleasure that is the result of work… sustained effort.
No matter what pleasure you seek, what makes it pleasure is the contrast: there needs to be pain for pleasure to exist. ((Hunger makes food pleasurable… lust makes sex pleasurable… tiredness makes sleep pleasurable…))
Although I could write about pleasure that you earn through hard and sustained work, and I have written hundreds of articles about it, people with too small capacity for pain rarely turn around and become people who want to earn their pleasure.

Now, being on the other side of it, it has opened my eyes to so many things, I am surprised.
I found out that some of my carefully crafted assumptions based in decades of education might be wrong.
I have been fighting it for more than a week now… and finally, today, I had to face the piper.

It makes no sense to me… and I can hardly believe it.
But it’s true, and I have to fac

Soul Correction: Finish What You Start
Update 7/10/2016:
The archetype is the flatterer scam artist. If you are their victim: They will hook you with their compliments, flattery, while suck you dry, take you for your last dime, without ever caring about you, and without ever delivering on what they said they would do.

Your self-image is “insignificant.” Maybe even weak, inconsequential, not important. Or you suffer from delusions of grand
The chemicals in your food: are they a big threat?
The biggest threat to “them” is the man who stops jumping
There is an issue that I need to address: your trained Chemophobia.
You have been trained to bark up the wrong tree.
