Isn’t it crazy how many things you can do to make sure your life totally sucks? My clients make their lives so difficult by being unconscious and irresponsible. But then again, it’s not easy to be conscious and responsible. So let’s keep the list going.

13. Talking about the past verses talking about what you are committed to.

What you focus on will manifest. What you talk about people hold you accountable to. If you are constantly talking about the past you will get stuck in the past because people will expect your past to be your present. If you talk about what you are committed to, then people will begin to expect that from you and like gravity you will be pulled into it. What have you been talking about lately? The way it is or the way you are going to make it?

14. Being too serious.

One of my mentors, Stewart Wilde, says “Seriousness is a disease of the ego”. When you are too serious, you miss the point of life: Living! Now. Fun. Energy. Presence. Beauty. Connection. Why do you get so serious? Because you haven’t done the inner work and realized that you misperceived your life and yourself early on. You haven’t recontextualized your existence and realized that all is well, there is no where to go, nothing to get, nothing to prove. All of that is in your mind (The Drunk Monkey).

When you let go of being serious, you will start being really happy. When you start being really happy, all of your goals and dreams will happen naturally. Consider being serious slows down your dreams which makes you even more serious and then this just gets worse. Being serious makes your life suck.
