The more I work with myself and others the more I realize what masters we all are at 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Study yourself.
Your motives.
Your justifications.
Your judgements.
Your expectations.
Your split energy.
Your pettiness.
Your jealousy.
Your ill wishes for others.
Your disingenuous tendencies.
Your secret efforts to manipulate and control others.
𝗚𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽.
Be radically willing to notice unlovely patterns within yourself.
Get 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 with yourself.
Become intensely curious about how you keep ending up in familiar situations.
If you’re not shocked by what you see, you’re not doing it right.
If you think you’re a “pretty good person” who doesn’t do these kinds of things, you are in a 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.
The way out of the maze of human confusion is through the uncomfortable 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 of these sneaky, deceptive patterns.
This is the realest self work you will ever do.
