Still polishing this up with every chance I get
Still polishing this up with every chance I get
Most people live in a state of hopeful confusion.
We live hoping to one day stumble into fulfillment like an old friend.
Fulfillment doesn't magically show up though.
They like playing hard to get - at least it looks that way.
Whether you realize it or not, modern society has discreetly induced a state of constant anxiety in us.
Yes - YOU and ME.
Fulfillment comes from a sense of purpose and creativity.
Neither can be accessed if your energy is going towards being anxious.
But all hope isn't lost - keep going.
I'll share a psychological and marketing and secret with you.
I call this "Pre-suasion by bombardment".
Picture this:
You're a therapist and psychology expert who one day feels like causing some mischief (because it be like that sometimes).
A sulking college student walks into your minimalistic, matte white, office breathing in the scent of your scented lavender candles with every sniffle.
She stares at you sitting relaxedly in your furry white couch before taking a deep breath and laying flat on your (also) white, leather couch.
You give it a few seconds for her to get comfortable.
Your tall, bright green leafy plant (seemingly the only color in your office) sways by the window, rustling gently with the wind.
She wipes her tears, and stares out your round, cottage style window to greet the calm blue sky, no clouds in sight.
You look at her face.
It was stained white with dried tears. Her eyes hovered halfway shut, not from fatigue but from losing the will to continue.
For a second, your empathy surfaced.
But nah - you chose mischief.
You start bombarding her with a large number of options and "advice" ranging from bad to excellent on how to get over her breakup.
"Find rebounds", "Love doesn't exist", "Run a marathon", "They didn't appreciate you", "Meditate", "Girl, just chill", "What was your childhood like"
You provide complex, vague information on how to go about each option. The pieces are there, but nothing is fully fleshed out.
Finally, you sprinkle in some distractions.
Cue Netflix and Instagram mid session.
*Chef's kiss* - Mwah!
You've cooked up a psychological nightmare.
What happens to poor Maria next?
She'd probably feel pretty confused and even a little hopeless.
But there was a reason to your madness, wasn't there?
Being the master tactician you are, you decide to do something Maria (now wailing) would never have expected.
You introduce an option that seems to her like it has everything laid out - in clearly, well defined steps.
Grieve first, Gym, Meditation, Healthy diet and Positive Relationships.
In a sea of confusion, this "boring" path sounds alluring, doesn't it?
What do you think the outcome would be?
She'd likely jump at such an option.
*A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR YOUR STRATEGY*
But what's the lesson here?
Does this at all sound familiar?
This is the life of most human beings. We have subjected ourselves to this technique without even realizing it.
There is literally anything you can do with your life, and so much is being thrown at us in this pivotal technological era.
Overwhelmed, we choose what the world has so nicely laid out for us:
School, Work, Planning for retirement, Die.
Our choosing of this path is further reinforced by the fact that everyone else is doing it.
This concept is called "Social Proof" - another psychological trick we unconsciously play into.
I'm not saying this is bad.
It's the easiest choice, but is it the best one FOR YOU?
What if there was more to life?
Hint: There is.
We know for a fact, most people don't end up fulfilled taking this path, yet so many of us choose it.
Why?
Because we as human beings hate decisions.
We want them Good and we want them Gone!
There have never been more options and distractions.
So at the time of you reading this, it's harder than ever to find fulfillment.
Crazy enough, fulfilment and achieving your best self is what's most important.
Yet, it takes a back seat until your "mid life crisis"...
But hear me out.
Maybe having a clear cut path isn't all bad.
What if there was a way to lay out all the steps you should take to have a solid foundation.
