The False Hope Syndrome


The Truth of The Matter and Fact is that wherever we are today ( Emotionally, Financially, Socially, Physically ...otherwise) is the result of our dominant and consistent patterns of behaviors across many domains. Unless we take a hold of these patterns and disrupt and engrave new pattern nothing will change.  We may have episodes of change but nothing will change in the long term. We at large have multiple personalities but generally speaking in terms of time there are three versions of  the self. Our past self, Present Self and  our Future self.  Most people have too much false hope for the future self when in fact they are too anchored in their past stories and most people have an even higher level of hope for the future when in fact they have bondage to hedonistic living.  However we all expect our future self to arrive in style, younger, richer and more liked and appreciated. We dream about that one event that will change everything, for some of us that event is a new job, or relationship, or various benchmarks that we have..... The truth is that by the law of mathematical probability and the law of diminishing return and attrition that unless we maintain a great deal of strength of character and solid foundation today our future self will only be a rehash of our past combined with mistakes of the present.  So What is the way for progress? Is it doing the same thing but harder with a greater magnitude?

As a person who is mentored directly by a leader who has met face to face with over 35 Million People and has brought change into Millions of lives, I have come to realize that there are patterns of success and failure and unless and until we take a hold of these driving forces we are bound to be the same person yet become less as time goes by.  Just by the reality of nature, we become less after we become more.  So how can we become our best version of ourselves, while welcoming our future self and yet everything is working against us?



The answer is the drives that we have, and more specifically is the drive for growth.  When we make a decision to grow out of our physical needs alone and walk into the realm of contribution, that is when we have forsaken all the physical transient needs of the body for ultimate spiritual need of soul which is contribution beyond oneself and impact positively even a patch of garden or a single soul that is when we can be content that although our physical beauty and strength will fade away our soul is sculptured to uplift and make a positive contribution beyond ourselves to make even one single soul realize that you are there for them and give them ultimate meaning of what it really means to have lived fully and loved unconditionally.

People have frailty that is part of the intelligent design it is the spiritual growth that can see passed that frailty.
It is when we starve the vice of self exertion  to nurture our virtue of selfless act from the soul,  that we fully become aware of the strength, depth, breadth and meaning of what really means to have lived an ultimate life of conscious choice a life of meaning, a life of virtue and most importantly authentic life of congruence of love and contribution.  May I whisper something " Only We Have The Choice" to become aware of the dominant and consistent patterns these behaviors.  Sometimes it is doing the hardest thing that will make it easier for others to live that is the sacrifice for expanding the self beyond the confinements of the physical self.

God Bless :)
