Goals, do you have them?
Are they in conjunction with your VALUES?
Because if they don't, no wonder you're not going anywhere.

Your conscious mind may be focused on a goal, but your values may contradict it completely.

What does it mean? I shall explain.

Say you are in point A, you want to drive to point B.
You type in your GPS - Point B and start driving.
While driving, you take a look at your GPS and notice you're driving back to Point A.
Why? Your GPS is programmed to only take you to point A, that's the default destination.

Same things with your goal, you want to make it somewhere, but your 'internal GPS' is fixated on your current position, that's an unnoticed self-sabotage.

Most people want to be rich, some might have a plan to make money.
But many of them have their GPS fixated on poverty.

Why?

We are affected by our society, our core values are usually learned through parents, friends, teachers, priests and our environment in general.
You might have been told stuff like:

Rich people are evil
Rich people are miserable
You can't be rich unless your parents are rich etc'

Sounds familiar?
You want to be rich, but you can't become what you don't want to become.

Same with relationships.
Everybody wants a relationship, but many programmed themselves to reject relationships and sabotage all options for a loving fulfilling relationship.

Here's the thing.
Your conscious mind is very limited, it is meant to process certain situations.
Most actions are performed by your unconscious mind, the unconscious mind controls us.
If your unconscious mind is set to A, you will never make it to B unless you reprogram yourself

The first step towards reprogramming starts with awareness.
You need to go over your goals and your values and see if they contradict each other, and how you can settle that conflict.

You'll notice that once the conflict in your values is settled, everything falls into place.

If you want to make it towards point B/C/D/E... You'd better make sure your GPS is taking you there, and you're not going in circles.
It is easier to achieve the success that way, and it's very much less painful.
In fact, it is the only way.

The second step is harder, and it is to constantly monitor your thoughts and see when the undesired 'values' come into play, and get them intercepted.

You can look for other methods.

It's not easy, but it's better than sabotaging your life and then wondering WTF happened

Have you been reading @ipb_media's tweets about Unfair Advantage and wondered what could you yours?
This one could well put you in an Unfair Advantage, because many position themselves in an inferior position of self-sabotage.

Don't sabotage your goals, re-evaluate your goals!
