The Person You Spend Your Whole Life With… Do You Even Like Them? #5secondreflex #SelfGrowth #shorts

How do you feel about the person you spend the most time with? Not your spouse, not your kids. You never get away from you, not for a second of your entire life. You go to bed with ya, you wake up with ya, make every decision of your day with you. So here's the question that actually matters. Do you love that person, hate that person, or do you just tolerate being stuck with them? Because that relationship, the one with yourself, is running your entire life whether you've looked at it or not. I lived almost 50 years thinking my job was to provide, to give, to perform, and no matter what I did, I was never enough. I clearly remember I got a 97 on a test and my dad's response was, "Where's the other 3%?" See, I carried that question everywhere. Into my marriage when I was told I wasn't good enough as a husband. Even as the sole provider, it wasn't enough. There was always a bigger house somewhere, a better destination for vacation. No matter how much time you spent with the kids, it's still never enough. My work, 10 million, 20 million, 30 million in revenue wasn't even enough. My own head, I was never enough. And it took me till I was almost 50 to realize that voice wasn't new. It had been mine since I was a kid. That voice doesn't stay outside you, it moves in. And eventually you can't tell the difference what somebody else said about you and what you now believe about yourself. See, that's not confidence or self-esteem. That's a reflex. The one you built without ever choosing it. And here's why. There's a 5-second gap between something triggering you, a mistake, a setback, a look on someone's face, and your mind catching up what you already decided to believe about yourself in that moment. Most people never know that gap exists. They just think, "This is who I am." So ask yourself honestly, when you mess up, is the voice that you hear kind? Or is it the voice of someone who's been never satisfied with you? Do you actually like being alone with your own thoughts? Or do you avoid it? Because that relationship, the one with you, is the one you can't walk away from. So you might as well learn to live with who's there. If you don't know what what that relationship actually looks like, I built something for that. It's called the Reflex Assessment. 7 questions, free, takes you about 3 minutes.
