There are two massive lies that are destroying people's psychology. Without them even knowing it. And when you hear these your brain is going to
connect a thousand dots to maybe some weird feelings that you've had throughout your life. Your doctors, and teachers, the media, social media, marketing, your friends, and
even your coaches lied to you but the sad part is they probably didn't know that they were doing it because they were lied to as well.
This first lie here is already in almost every aspect of your life and it's so hidden that there's not really even a name for it. It is a cause
that no one really can see. Or see it that clearly.
This concept defines the cause of blindness of when a group or a person focuses heavily on some symptoms while they just ignore the cause completely. In the pursuit
of a goal, people will tend to desire the symptoms of the achievement instead of the cause of those symptoms.
So an example is easy to see in people who desire wealth. These people might focus on these symptoms of wealth like a Lamborghini or a giant house
or even some expensive yacht. The cause of that wealth is almost out of focus entirely. The cause would be things like 30 000 hours of work and sleepless nights invested in
personal growth and pitfalls and failures that lead to the discovery of a person's wealth. These deep personal sacrifices that were made. And diligent tireless hours of time spent
obsessing and researching. Maybe a particular field.
Another glaringly obvious example is just take a look at how many sales techniques are out there versus how many
courses are out there actually teaching you how to make quality products. Yeah pretty awful !
So let's say someone wants to be more confident. For example they might focus on the behaviors of competent people. They'll spend tons of hours studying
speech patterns and movements and behaviors and all of these little things that confident people do. Then eventually someone will write a book
about all these details. This full-blown reference volume of all of these symptoms of confidence. The belief is that if somebody could just get the symptoms all lined up in
place they're going to feel confident and then they're going to achieve their goals.
This is kind of like someone telling you that taking duct tape and taping an orange to a bunch of random trees will make them all orange trees.
Not really a good plant. Those oranges are symptoms of being an orange tree so those behaviors of confident people are symptoms of a cause. They've spent their
lives differently than other people.Their internal belief systems are radically different from people. Without confidence they aren't moving their body or speaking a certain way
because they read a list of how to do it. Their behavior is a result of a cause not forcing a whole bunch of symptoms.
So to sum this part up their behavior is a product. A byproduct of not the other way around. The problems that a society as a whole faces are a byproduct
of some cause. And these root causes are never discussed as whether it's a deliberate effort or an effort to ignore the real sources of the issues.
Or maybe people in government grew up
with the same belief systems that we developed just to focus on symptoms. We might never know but almost every problem we are facing as a nation
or any society are likely a result of a lifetime indoctrination into focusing on symptoms and ignoring causes.
If you're sitting down to write out your personal goals. Focus on the causes that will make your goal a byproduct a symptom.
So instead of setting goals this year think in terms of byproducts. So what are the byproducts I want to happen in my life.
And once you've got a list of byproducts that you'd like to have. Determine the causes that you need to make them all happen, automatically.
When you see social issues or the news or politicians. They are getting you to focus on a new issue or a threat. Remember that they're pointing to symptoms and they
probably don't want you looking too closely at what those symptoms are actually. A byproduct of Pleasure and Happiness !!
