What is the source of the demons that haunt your serenity? Do these intrusions that
manifest as foreboding thoughts and disillusioning scripts have a purpose other than to
rob your joy? Or are they mere patterns of contextual reminders from painful memories?
But what could be the relevance? Affordances to damper good fortune? Fear of
offending tribal mediocracy?
Liberation comes by embracing the legacy from your ancestral heroes who overcame
colossal adversities by choosing to live with courageous joy. Such is the way of the
wisdom found in undulations of the Drift. Like most conundrums, however, their secret
triggering mechanism must be discovered and enacted before the liberation can begin.
In the case of these demons that feed on self-deception, their antidote resides in the
terrain of valiant defiance.
Easier said than done. So here is the path: Do not rely on motivation, the Universe
covering your back, or wishful thinking. Simply, jump into the Leap of Faith we learned
from Kierkegaard. Burn your ships of dread and jump into epigenetic excellence.
Nothing more – nothing less. Why? Because you are greater than your entrenched tribal
limitations. No amount of enticement from cheerleading charlatans can surpass your
intuitive resilience.
Learned fear responses had a preservation function some time in your life to avoid
danger, harsh criticism, or any other form of harm. Yet, the fear responses continue
beyond their initial protection function. Why? Because unlearning dysfunctional
behavior requires understanding how fear is rationalized as prudence, cautiousness, or
indecisiveness to avoid confronting the demons of self-doubt.
The leap of faith is grounded on intelligent risk-taking rather than foolish rushing in.
New endeavors require interpreting mistakes as gradual approximations to desired
goals. In other words, when a strategy fails to yield expected results, identify what
interfered with your successful progress rather than concluding personal failure.
Trust the Journey carved by your inner wisdom and shed the demons that thrive on your
self-imposed helplessness.
