no one talks about how brutal it feels to work your ass off to become successful, but then still feel like garbage
you can certainly invest in things to make your life better, easier, or more joyful, but the money itself won’t fix the pain that you’ve been ignoring
a gratitude practice won’t do it either
it might even amplify your bad feelings, because “how dare you live a life that’s so blessed, and not appreciate it?” you might think
or “what kind of fool works that hard to feel exactly the same as they did before?”
or even “maybe I don’t even deserve to be happy and to have all these nice things?”
this can be where the self-sabotage starts. where you unconsciously destroy your abundance to protect yourself from the guilt and shame
but it doesn’t have to be 🤍
