In today’s coaching session with one of my
clients, we tackled what I have seen to be a very common issue…. In fact, I
think it’s pandemic, far worse than C19.
It’s the invasive, show stopper… the
subconscious, hidden belief that you are LESS THAN.
When I first started working with this
client, he had already accomplished more than most people do - ever
. But
he had big dreams and a mission to make a huge difference in the medical field.
He’s an iconic innovator and wanted to be famous in his field.
Now, it takes a special person who wants to
be “famous in their field,” and even more special if they don’t have a ton of
ego motivating them.
But he did. Lots of ego.
Now, in reality, ego can serve a good
purpose, especially if you are younger, but after a while, it just slows you
down, makes you stuck, and triggers all kinds of negative emotions when people
don’t recognize you, support you, or even worse, thwart you.
My client was a strong man of faith, who
has worked very hard on himself professionally and personally, so it was a
surprise for him to see this Egoic Less Than thing. However, he was a person
who did not want any old stuff clinging to him because he knew you can’t rise
to where God wants you to go if you are tethered by the weight of lies.
Now the thing is, most of
us have a Less Than Story
. And sometimes it’s easier to play the victim
and keep repeating the story… how you were hurt, wounded, held back, etc. ..
than to actually challenge it.
