GETTING MY GOAT ON A MONDAY MORNING
I ran across yet another person this morning promising the entire world that financial riches lie just beyond that glass wall, and for $19.95 plus shipping and handling, she will tell you how to break through that glass wall and embrace all that dough, find Mr. Right, and lose 30 lbs.
Let’s see…that must be the thirty-first person to claim to have “the answer”.
How many of these people already own the SECRET, and e-books from sites claiming to have the answer?
No one is willing to put “the bell on the cat”…no one is willing to be the child in the Emperor’s New Clothes; no one wants to tell the truth: You actually have the answers right inside of yourself. It may not be attractive, it’s not sexy, and frankly, it can be pretty darn painful at times, but, it’s your truth…and nothing but the truth. You own it; it’s your core issue.
We have become soft; a culture bred on quick fixes and cheese doodles. Have all those ingested preservatives finally damaged our capacity to truly heal? We seem to drift towards terminal vagueness and the desire to ‘check-out’, be numb or be dumb, that’s the ticket.
Everything we need to understand in order to change has already been written…and those books are probably sitting on the shelves of all these people throwing their money to purchase yet another “answer”.
The truth is: having money or food ‘issues’, or any other self-destructive behavior comes from living one’s life on two tracks. Not being whole, not being authentic; being afraid to really go deep and shine a light on the childhood shame and confront the proverbial monsters in the closet.
Gaining self-awareness is the key to change, but the pop culture spin that has currently become so topical, is nauseating. The truth is: all these suffering souls were in trouble long before gas prices hit $4.50 a gallon, long before the mortgage industry hit the skids. They just hid in denial. True healing requires courage, faith, discipline and desire. It takes work…hard work to constantly confront those pieces of ourselves we have spent so much energy running from. There are no real quick fixes.

yes, my own experiences now has shown me I the have the answers within, I just need to dwell deep within to see the truth of all things. I too am sick up to my throat about how to manisfest your dreams, goals and relationships etc...and for just $29.99 you can find the real answers. I am coming out my own box of fears and worries that had been implanted in me since childhood and then fears about finances as an adult.
Pegi...you are so fantastic. This is my first trip to your blog and I love your frankness and honesty.
You rock!
much love,
Charu
