“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” ~Albert Einstein For a long time, I lived under the illusion that I was solving the problems standing between me and my desires.
Whether it was love, success, or the kind of life I dreamed of, I believed I was taking the necessary steps to create what I wanted.
But what I was really doing (without realizing it) was keeping those things forever at arm’s length. I was trying to create something from the same conditioning I’d adopted to navigate a difficult childhood, and all it did was reinforce the self-concept I’d walked away with (low self-worth and feeling “unreal” and inferior) and create more circumstances that reflected that self-concept back to me.
This happened across the board. Early on in my business, I’d pour everything into creating an offer—a course, a program, something I deeply believed in.
