The Loser’s Journey #3 – The Trash-hold Guardian
Last night I slept and I dreamt.
It’s a wonderful dream: I am victorious and claiming the Treasure after vanquishing the Evil One.
I would love to stay in that dream.
Who wouldn’t?
I was jerked back into Reality when someone dropped this on Me and was rendered unconscious. It documents what I am to expect for the journey ahead. The Ordinary World beckoned so…
I feel constricted, like my lungs are burning and collapsing in on themselves. Each breath burns as I gasp for air. My vision begins to blur and cloud over. Panic seizes Me and I told Myself that I will deal with that in a while…a while that will never come.
A darkness looms over my encroached form.
Behold the Threshold Guardian #1: PAIN!
PAIN!: Hey Loser, quit wasting our time and go back to where you came from, it’s just not worth it…you feel Me? Oh now now, stop your whimpering…must be feeling lonely without Me around. Well, bad news brother, PAIN will go with you no matter where you go henceforth.
Behold the Threshold Guardian #2: FAILURE
FAILURE: Yo bro!! I am with you in relation to PAIN! I am before, during, after, within, without, foregrounding, backgrounding…omni-present, omni-potent coz you allow me to be prevalent. Meet my sergeant-in-arm…
Behold the Threshold Guardian #3: LIMITING BELIEF
LIMITING BELIEF: How can you move ahead when I’m so loud I happen all the time!!
Behold the Threshold Guardian #4: FEAR
FEAR: Boo!! I am Panic’s friend. You’ve lost Me!!
Behold the Threshold Guardian #5: CHANGE
CHANGE: I’ve always wanted you to be my friend. You have to next deal with PERFECTION, EXPECTATION, LOSS, and the horde of ETC’s and their minions of PROCRASTINATION. You must call out your birthright…you have CHOICE, your sword call VALUE and your trusty ride cum side-kick called ACTION.
Now.
I stirred into wakefulness. I am aware again. To find Me back, I need to face down the ultimate Trash-hold Guardian:
-
It is I
Now.
The Next Chapter: Reprisal: A New Hope.
Great post!
I know how you often see people who have gotten themselves into an infinite loop of misery.
Thanks Scott!! One of the reasons that I am a Life Coach and that many people need one is exactly that.
It’s amazing what raising a little more awareness can get them out of that vicious “loop of misery”
I like what you are saying on your blog.
Cool post dude! Glad to see you back in action. You always manage to up the ante.
More action…soon (pun intended)
Followed your upping the ante, dude! That’s the only way to improve
Well, I’m back more actively for now mainly coz I know you gotta get yourself fully integrated back to working a day job. Just doing what a friend will do.
Thanks for holding the ford over the past 3 months. I was sorting things out with Me Myself and I.
For the rest of you, I’m not “standing in” for Alvin, can’t fill his shoes for being the charming one.
This blog is my baby too. So I am committed to give it more flavour.
Finally Pete haha. Been waiting for your post, and what I feel like saying this is such a LOUSY post and a classic example of NEGATIVITY well-hidden behind the facade of POSITIVITY for all the MEs inside us to see.
You get what I mean, don’t you? ;p
Pete, you bastard…
Thanks Kloudi, though I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!! Haha!!
Takes one to know another, Stuart. In any case, thought it would be nice to chunk down and look at some other perspective at the same time.
I am having fun with this.
