Our subtle feelings tell us a lot about who we are- but the paradox is that our EGO prevents us from allowing ourselves the time and space to experience our feelings so we can learn and grow from them.

Feelings are thought of as messy and unnecessary because when we reveal them, it means (or so our EGO would and does tell us) that we are not strong, that only the weak are vulnerable and that you should never let others know how you feel.  So if we didn’t marginalize this that means we would have to do something about it and bam, our EGO trips us up again.

The primary reason for this is that our EGO’s are designed to be right at all costs, so it does an amazing job at preventing us from seeing and feeling our truth because if that happens…

It means that we have to acknowledge there is a problem- and if we do that, it means that we may not have been right up to this point.

The way this usually unfolds is that our beliefs (which for most are rooted in fear and comfort) grab our attention and say “hey, maybe this is really supposed to be this way and not that way” and as soon as that happens, our EGO steps in and say’s “I got ya covered, don’t be foolish; stay safe and comfortable because if you don’t, your going to be sorry and I will say “I told you so” for the rest of your life, I promise.

So at the very best we build up a story and a lifestyle that serves our insecurities and at worst- it keeps us from discovering our true purpose in life.

Everything life really comes down to how you choose to frame it and for the vast majority, their frame is based on more unconscious, ego & safety driven beliefs.

We then continue to perpetuate our search for more of the right answers, as opposed to doing the real work of our lives, which is to ask the right questions.

In course 1 which is titled, Conscious Self-Leadership, we will discuss an entrepreneurs most important self-leadership exercise, which is to discover their personal hedgehog.
