It takes courage to face the things that are holding us back.

Commonly, people will deal with issues that seem too hard to overcome – by avoiding them. However, in avoidance we also find pain.

So how does it all start?

We all have expectations about how things might work out. And when the outcome isn’t what we expected – disappointment is a hidden trigger that can lead us down the path to greater emotional challenges. It can start with a small thing, an expectation not met – a failure at work, or in a relationship, or a financial loss.

Being a martyr...It's the ultimate SABOTAGE strategy.

It happens all the time to high performers, leaders.... "I'm already doing so much. Working so hard. I've already achieved a lot. I don't have enough time. I already have too much responsibility. I need my work life to improve before I can start that business. I have tried before and it didn't...
