Did you investigate going to public school and University or College……in regards to rates of return, other ways to make a living, more efficient ways to generate wealth, long term financial success, physical health impacts, mental health impacts or even happiness outcomes etc etc? Of course you didn’t. Everyone was just doing it and you were constantly encouraged to do it by perceived authority, Hollywood media and peer groups. No real investigation…….just following the crowd and not thinking beyond that. In fact, going to College or University may be the most inefficient way to gain financial success or long term happiness in our modern time. Let’s say a medical doctor prescribes a new drug for you. Did you investigate it for side effects, long term health outcomes or did you even investigate medicine’s success in general (as an industry) for making their patients healthier or better? Of course you didn’t. You just used a very common interaction protocol called “going along to get along” What about marriage? Most people grabbed a partner in their late twenties or early thirties and said “I do”. Why? How many investigated marriage for success outcomes, happiness potentials, rates of failure, rates of success, potential detriments, potential benefits etc? What about wine? Is it really healthy? Did you investigate these claims or did the positive talk of something you enjoy anyway……….cement your behaviors right out of the gate? What about your morning coffee, sticking a cell phone to your ear, mammograms, ultra sounds, Teflon pans, voting etc etc. Were there any investigations on your part before diving head first into the pond of social conformity?

Self sabotage is based on one thing and one thing only………..doing “stuff” without thinking PLUS feeling good with your “non thinking behavior” simply because “everyone else was doing it, so how bad could it really be?” I want you to think hard about that last line, regarding how bad it can really be, when you observe the real world today. Do you see all the poverty, the disease, the obesity, the dependence, the misery, the depression, the despair, the broken homes and the deep sense of confusion, the lack and the disconnection. THIS IS HOW BAD IT CAN BE FOLKS…..when you don’t think about what you’re doing and rely on cultural programming to drive your life bus, right off a cliff.
