They need you disenfranchised, weak, docile, scared, complacent, confused, chaotic. No sovereign populous is easily manipulated. But this programming runs deep. When you give the small self an inch, it takes a mile. This is true of all major transformational journeys, from gym memberships to meditation retreats. You throw up all kinds of excuses, defensive tactics, canned responses, and programmed behaviors. The ego wants things to stay the same. The known and certain awful is always preferable to the unknown and uncertain amazing, as strange as that sounds. It keeps you trapped. Thought is the chain that binds you. These are the Four Objections of the Apocalypse. Truly, when we collectively fall victim to these: chaos thrives, lives stagnate, and society erodes. "Not right now, I don't have the time..." Someday is where dreams go to die. Delay, delay delay. Too busy, not enough time, not a priority, I have that thing coming up, work is getting busier, next month would be âbetterâ. The excuses are like a Hydra, address one and three more pop up. You kick the can all the way to your grave. But you might be right. You might not have the time. Good! Because you never have time, you make time. You make time for things that are a priority. So be honest, and say âmy initiation into a New Earth Warrior isnât a priority right now.â I bet that will hit differently. "Not necessary, not important..." The small self will belittle your dreams and choke out your aspirations by slowly eroding their value. Ahh what good will it do anyways, nothing will change. Itâs not going to do that much. Itâs not important, I have all these other things I need to do right now, this wonât work. Itâs not necessary. Itâs a subtle way of protecting you from failure. If you never truly care, you never truly fail. Slowly, slowly, apathy takes over. Putting your priorities first is admirable, and I appreciate you for that. And yet, for me and many Iâve worked with, the reality is always different. Are the 2 hours of Netflix, the 90 minutes of Instagram, the endless rumination and dragging your feet really the thing you are saving your time for? Is the 8+ hours of working a job youâre not in love with the thing youâre protecting your time for? Then why are these the things that youâre fighting to protect? Why are these the ânecessary activities' that youâre defending so passionately? If you donât sacrifice for your dreams, your dreams will be sacrificed. Act accordingly. "I just need more..." I need more time, better software, more money, more support, a new computer, running shoes. This is the hydra in full force, the last stand of the small self. Throwing everything it can in the way, hoping to trip you up. Itâs deeply rooted in a mindset of lack and incompleteness. It makes you believe that you are fundamentally missing something, that once you get this final treasure, everything will sort itself out. You are not incomplete. You have the time, you have the capability, you have the money, you have the desire. You have everything you need, because this opportunity wouldnât be in your life right now if you werenât ready for it. You have everything you need. "Not me..." This one breaks my heart, and I have suffered too long from it myself. This is the voice that says you canât do it. Greatness is meant for someone else, but not for me. Youâre stuck with your lot, change isn't possible. Donât stand up, donât rise up, this is meant for those guys, but not me. This is the cop-out of thinking that someone else will handle it, someone else will be the hero, someone else will handle MY RESPONSIBILITY. As Vincent Van Gogh said, âIf you hear a voice within you say âyou cannot paint,â then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.â You overcome this objection by doing the thing. Proving to yourself in real life that you have everything it takes and more to cultivate greatness in your life. ð¾ THE FINAL BOSS These objections are the final boss. And the final boss always appears before a new level. If you feel any of these: EXCELLENT. Youâre right on schedule. The opportunity you have now is to acknowledge the fears, concerns, and questions â and walk boldly and courageously forward. You KNOW these objections are keeping you small. You KNOW youâre hungry and ready to evolve. Now, you must ACT. - Make time for the important things.
- Care deeply and be brave enough to value your priorities.
- You have everything you need, always.
- Know that you have a right to greatness and are ready to take full responsibility. And from this place of grounded confidence, move forward. I understand the decision to join the [WARRIOR100]( is not a small one. Thatâs why these objections are present. This is the first test. To COMMIT with COURAGE and CONFIDENCE to your own GREATNESS. â [Join the WARRIOR100]( â We will do this together. Day by day. Act by act. But now is your time.
