Get Over Yourself (GOY!)

Lower yourself and raise you (Illustration by Author)

Yes — follow your dreams

Yes — find your passion

Yes — help others

But most importantly, get over yourself.

A message to all creators with visions no one is able to understand yet. Ideas are infinite (I covered this in my previous post), and yours is one of many. People will always do what they have always done, pursue their desires. You can’t fault people like you fault yourself.

What is life without the ups and downs? Channel your hate, anger, your missteps, and figure out a way forward. There is no one formula for all of us. We get stuck in the cycle of search, looking for a way out quickly but only to find out that a way forward is a way forward. We got all the answers up to now, and what more do you need? Ask yourself, and if the response includes someone else doing something for you, you haven’t figured it out yet.

You are the challenger and the champion. Your previous thoughts are competing against your current thoughts. And we haven’t spoken about future thoughts yet. How to defeat yourself in order to get to the future you? Your childhood behaviors don’t work as an adult, which is one of the first defeats on your way to more battles.

The answer to the “how” is not straightforward because only you know the truth. Our job is simply to act because everyone else is thinking and hoping. We have to aim behind those stages. Act and see, meaning do something and see what happens but don’t dwell on the outcome.

SELF HELP

We have had self-help for quite some time, and people have rejected it as if it’s teaching the wrong thing. By rejecting self-help, you welcome external help, which includes everything external from ourselves. If you accept or don't object to external help, you must accept everything that comes with it; the good, the bad, and the ugly. In our world, the ugly comes packaged as good and if we are not careful then we are under a spell.

I was against self-help for a while, but I wasn’t too fond of everything that awaited me under the sun. I have come to realize that outside of me, I’m not in control, meaning something else could get control of me. By accepting current reality, all of it is part of the agreement. But if I can come up with my understanding, I’m in charge of myself in the middle of the world. The world will continue to work as it always has and I along with it, but in charge of my emotions, my actions, my delivery, and, my situation. We cannot ignore ourselves but must not operate solely inside.

How does self-help assist in getting over yourself?

Once you understand and control your thoughts and feeling, which can be achieved by self-help, then you will be able to get over yourself and move forward with the foundation that will not be shaken whichever way by the external world.

External help is essential because we are social beings and need each to survive. By knowing oneself, then asking for help is a value proposition because you understand your limits and others' capabilities.

Now let's all go and GOY.
