Hi reader,

“That which we do not bring to consciousness appears in our lives as fate.”

I love this Carl Jung quote - it opens my 2021 book Build From Now.

I hear it like this: Whatever we don’t recognize or deal with will ultimately run our lives. That gap between what we see in ourselves and what we really are can create enough ignorance to be dangerous.

And we may not feel like we deserve any success we gain 😬

Have you ever seen someone seemingly on top of the world make a ridiculously reckless or foolish decision?

Self-sabotage often happens when we haven’t full integrated our worth to our situation. It could be the suddenly rich lottery winner who blows all their money, or the skyrocketing politician that suddenly has a public affair, or the scrappy entrepreneur screwing up a life-changing deal.

Every one of us has an insecurity, an Achilles heel, a part of us that doesn’t believe we are worthy of love, success, or fortune.

It doesn’t go away, but it is way more volatile if you ignore it. And it has a tendency to come out right when you are close to getting what you actually want 🫠

On today’s BringYourWorth.tv, we’ll talk about how to recognize self-sabotage, see where it comes from, and tools on how to stop it.
