THE AGE OF EXHAUSTION
The Self-Help/Mental Health Industry need an upgrade. For decades we have been focused on outcomes. Ten steps to heal. Three secrets to success. We have been hyperfocused on the one thing that is outside our control: outcomes. That no longer works. People have outgrown easy answers and quick fixes.
Our soul is fatigued which leads to a quiet desperation when the latest system fails to work. It isn’t that the system is wrong or bad, it’s our expectation of a particular outcome that causes us to suffer. What happens when the system doesn’t provide the desired results? We move on to the next book, the next podcast, the next therapist.
Formulas promise control but that kind of control is an illusion. We don’t control outcomes, we control effort. If there is any secret, it is hidden in plain sight. The ancients knew it well. Life is not a machine that runs on fixed formulas, it is a relationship with a mystery beyond our ability to control.
The secret isn’t to fix all the problems of life. The secret is to do the work to become the kind of person strong enough, wise enough, compassionate enough to handle whatever life brings with courage, calmness, clarity, and love.
The reality is that there is no “out there”, there is only “in here” in the mind. You are your thoughts. The world you perceives is the world you live in. This is why it is so vitally important to train your mind.
The mind is the sanctuary of the soul, the kingdom within, with the power to create reality. Whatever the mind dwells on, it will become.
If freedom from exhaustion of the constant striving to control outcomes and peace of mind is what you desire, you must understand that freedom is always an inside job.
If you are a spiritually-minded, creative, self-helper type, let’s work together.
