As I was lecturing to a large group 3 weeks ago I noticed two handsome men in the back row acting like children and I also noticed a beautiful lady acting shy in the front row. Out of 50 in the crowd, the two men (friends) where the most perfect “physical” male specimens. The lady at the front, the most perfect female specimen. Inside the field of self sabotage coaching, the process involves explaining that there’s an invisible force inside our society that pushes people toward playing small, acting mediocre and discounting their natural advantages/talents…..in order to please the “average” in the herd. Being different is never welcome inside the collective and this is based partly on a genetic survival mechanism where “the familiar” was always the safer option. Media pressure is also involved as well, as our CORRUPT media never fails to pump in the subconscious programming regarding the “fake” benefits of blending with the dysfunctional herd of mediocrity. (the “be like everyone else” ambush”)
Now let’s move some symmetrical/strong males into this system, which I believe only number 1 in 30 at this point in time….and some symmetrical females, which I believe only number 1 in 20. Without fail, inside my coaching career, it’s these people who savagely scurry to the bottom of the achievement ladder in order to offset their natural gifts. I see this everywhere… “the most stunning and powerful people” underachieving to a higher degree than most others. The two men I was referring to were joking, not taking things seriously, drinking some “red bull” poison and both had dyed hair……which are all “tools” the chronic saboteur uses to hide and “downgrade” their true power and potential. The lady as well, exhibiting the most accepted female version of self sabotage…….which is shyness and non assertiveness. Self sabotage, the fine art of playing small on purpose in order to blend into an underachieving society, is our real epidemic…..as the true strengths and immense talents of millions are never fully realized.
