You are your own cult leader

Your life can be amazing.

If you just follow the instructions of The Leader, you can have

• Happiness.

• Money

• An remarkable, loving and loved significant other

• Famous and influential friends

Just follow The Leaders ever instruction, that’s all it takes!

Never let The Leader down though, otherwise…

You’re a worthless piece of shit.

You’ll never get anywhere.

And you’ll be alone forever!

So who is this amazing Leader that will make all your wildest dreams come true?

or

Make your life a living hell?

Yup, it’s you.

You’re your own cult leader.

Pulling the strings in your head, convincing your self that you can and should have it all.

Then….

Tearing you down when you don’t live up to the ideal, or step out of line.

The Leader in all our heads is constantly recruiting us to execute on ideas that should get us everything we want out of life.

But why does it so rarely result in the desired outcome we wanted?

Because it’s a con.

We’re not really out for our own best interest. The leader wants what’s best for it.

Your complacency.

The way you have always been.

And worst of all, your unwavering loyalty.

Be the way The Leader wants you to be, think the way The Leader wants you to think.

You changing, you getting what you want means The Leader get’s less power.

But how are you even supposed to know what you actually want when The Leader has been in control for so long.

Oh, The Leader is tricky too.

You think you got what you wanted?

HA!

No.

That’s what The Leader wanted for you.

Why do you think so many people sink into a deep depression when they win the big championship that they have wanted to win since being a kid, or sell their company for 1 billion dollars?

They didn’t want that, The Leader did.

So where did The Leader come from?

It came from Trauma.

A lot of times in childhood, sometimes in middle school or high school.

And don’t get me wrong, The Leader wants the best for you, but in the way that it wants it, not the way that will actually brings the most Joy and Contentment. It wants it in a way that is familiar, and seemingly safe.

But then ask yourself, why doesn’t the same pattern play out over, and over, and over, and over, and over….

…..and over

In a way, we all need brain un-washing, because there’s a Cult Leader calling the shots in each of our heads.

Are you doing listen to The Leader, or try to break out?
