Reinvention Reminder: You’re Not Broken and You Don’t Need to Be Fixed

1st thing to know:

🛑 There’s no silver bullet.
🛑 There’s no cure-all elixir.
🛑 There’s no magical formula.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is.

Hell, we want there to be; it would make life easier.

Besides, that’s what our brain wants.

They’re efficient machines designed to seek and find patterns and efficiencies to make our survival possible.

So we search and search for the 1 thing that will change everything.

It feels good to search for that 1 thing: we’re trying to improve and “fix” ourselves.

There is a trap in self-improvement that’s not discussed enough.

When we tell ourselves that we need to “fix” ourselves, we reinforce the idea that we’re “broken.”

Remember the mind being an efficient machine?

That applies here as well.

When you reinforce the idea that you are “broken,” the mind will provide you with all the evidence from the past to prove itself right.

The mind doesn’t want to be wrong.
