How To Easily Reinvent Yourself Even If Society Tried To Enslave You
Say goodbye to the puppet master
Envy the armed robbery
How could they?
They took advantage of you while you were a defenseless kid.
A daily stroll down memory lane will consist of images of your parents feeding you their fears, polluting your mind with their ideas, and giving you their hand-me-down self-concepts. Doing so has sentenced you to a lackluster life.
They’ve murdered your potential and later burned the blue cloth used to wipe their bloody hands.
But now, despite this new evidence coming to light, the jury has deemed them innocent. Your parents, teachers, society, and previous authority figures are not held accountable.
But they don’t need to be.
This is where you take accountability for your participation in creating your lower self and become responsible enough to make a great change.
If I can do it
so can you.
Mute the outer voices
Since a kid, the mouths of your authority figures cast their voices with the volume up. Listening was always mandatory and never an option. Obeying their words was never a choice but a requirement.
Disobeying would often subject you to punishment and if you dared not to listen you were labeled unappreciative.
You have been listening and obeying for your entire life. After years of verbal exposure, you subconsciously put an engagement ring on their mouths and married their collective voices that reside in your head.
But then something dramatic happens:
You realize that their “truths” were lies, that their actions were manipulative, and that your perception of self is a product of collective opinion.
The fact is that their broadcasted voices have handicapped your walk to success. Their hand-me-down self-concepts have paralyzed your potential and prevented you from being conscious of the subconscious limiting effect they had on your life.
Here is where a new life begins: by muting their voices.
Take a moment and think. When you pursue a big goal, only to fall short because of a lackluster belief in yourself, whose disbelief is it? Is it your disbelief or the lack of belief your peers have influenced you to have?
Is the shyness you experience before a work meeting your shyness, or shyness from your biological inheritance?
A neurological microscope isn’t required to see that you are the beneficiary of the doubts and mental limitations that others have cast upon you.
Only by muting their voices, you can burn their casted nets and unbind this spell.
But how?
We can only do so by taking a trip to the local audio shop, purchasing an amplifier, and substituting those voices with a powerful voice of your own.
Here is where we dig deep into your repertoire of weapons. It’s time to:
Deploy your internal megaphone
You have suffered enough. Reinventing yourself is a necessity.
If you’re going to re-invent yourself (which you will) you must turn the volume up on the dusty nob of your inner voice.
Now that you have silenced the outside voices, your voice has risen from the grave and is waiting to be deployed.
I know what you’re thinking:
What should I do with my inner voice? What should you say when you talk to yourself?
Is it weird that “What To Say When You Talk To Yourself” is one of my favorite books? The author goes on to say the unthinkable:
As much as 77% of everything we think is negative, counterproductive, and works against us.
What if we can pimp out that 77% of thoughts and have them work for us instead of against us?
I have good news. There’s no need to wonder.
Let’s take a brief look at how powerful self-talk helped Mike Tyson and how it will fast-forward your inventive process.
I used to do my affirmations all day long.
-Mike Tyson
When you think of Mike Tyson, you probably think of an aggressive, fearless man.
His trainer Cus D’Amato would have Mike Tyson repeat the affirmation “best fighter in the world; no one can beat me.”
Tyson remained undefeated while Cus D’Amato was alive.
What does this mean for you? Your brain doesn’t form beliefs based on logic but repetition.
So, what should you do?
It’s time to do the logical thing and repetitiously think the highest of yourself.
What are the attributes of your desired version of self?
Determine what those attributes are, and tell yourself you already have them. Doing so once or twice isn’t enough. Defeating the previous version of yourself will take manly jabs.
Use your affirmations to jab away, mute outside voices, and raise your inner voice’s volume like a megaphone.
Crack the egg and showcase the yolk
Congratulations, your new self has come to life. But life isn’t lived until you leave the wound.
A baby chicken lives inside the egg, but he doesn’t begin to live life until the shell is cracked.
Strike the shell with a devastating blow, plant your feet firmly on the ground, and only take steps that are aligned with your new self.
So, who are you going to reinvent yourself to be?
