I have some anxiety and reservations about starting the MKE program. I’ve been reading self-help books, listening to tapes, and watching videos since I had my first divorce at the age of 28 (I’ve been trying to fix what’s wrong with me).
I’m 51 now and am not much further along now than I was at 28.
I’m not telling my wife… I’ve been with her for 14 years and she doesn’t believe that “self-help” is going to fix me. She’s a licensed therapist and most of what I’ve been studying and learning is not on the approved list for an educated professional.
Her belief is that the path to change is through structured therapy. The way to success is through formal education. I’m not telling her because she will attack the program, the method, and the commitment I am making to it. I’m not emotionally strong enough to take her attack along with my own doubts and anxiety, I would end up quitting.
What I have been doing hasn’t worked. I have to change to become a better version of myself. I see this program as the missing link between all the self-help I’ve been learning and actual change. Structured definite steps, accountability, and support, is what attracted me here.
Chad, I feel your pain. I also got divorced a few years ago and I too used to ask myself the question what is wrong with me. I don’t think there is something wrong with us. Things just don’t always work out the way we want them to. I am looking forward to this journey that we started in finding our authentic self and I think we might just find that we have been awesome all along without knowing it. Keep on keeping on my friend!
Welcome Chad! Enjoy the journey!
Chad,
Follow the training as faithfully as you are able and you will see your life rearranging. Just do it and don’t look back. Commit and don’t be double-minded. Trust the process. We are learning how to modify our subconscious mind which makes all of our decisions. How awesome is that! Paragraph 23 in Part 1 of the Master Key states that the coordination of the two centers of our being, the Conscious Mind and Subconscious Mind, as well as understanding their different functions is the Great Secret of Life. Not everyone is willing to submit to these disciplines. Too much hard work. But have confidence that your work, your sacrifice will bring amazing results. Take the time here to discover your uniqueness because the world is patiently awaiting the moment your DMP is realized! Peace be the Journey.
I appreciate your honesty about not telling your wife. I am in the same boat. My husband knows I signed up for a “course” and that’s about it.
Ah Chad, I get that. I feel that most us are not broken and need fixing we simply have too much weight (concrete) trying to be who we think we should be rather than simply working towards being our best selves (golden self). you got this!!
You were lost and now you’re found. No seriously! You tagged Maria and you are now in my tribe so congratulations. Keep your growth for you right now until your habits are strong. I have faith in you to go the long haul. Welcome to the Master Keys. I look forward to working with you.
Welcome Chad… from my own experience your are ready for this just keep going!
