Matthew:
Have you ever this yr or within the final couple of years, had your coronary heart completely destroyed by somebody? Somebody that possibly you thought you’d be with endlessly, somebody that possibly you gave each a part of your self to somebody that you just fought for, solely to search out that that individual broke up with you and moved on to someone else.
If this describes you, hold watching as a result of I promise right this moment’s video is gonna be an unbelievable stress valve. However earlier than I try this, don’t neglect to love the video, subscribe to this channel, and hit the notification bell in order that the subsequent time I do certainly one of these movies, you’re the first to listen to about it. Alright, let’s get into the video. I used to be instructed a narrative not too long ago of a man who was in a relationship for seven years and for a minimum of the final three of these years, his accomplice had stopped being affectionate with him. Had, for all intents and functions, begun to search out him unattractive. She didn’t really feel any attraction for him anymore. They’d a all however sexless relationship. When he went to get near her and kiss her or put his arm round her and simply have these day by day moments of affection that he craved, she would bodily push him away as a result of she didn’t need to. And she or he got here to see him simply as a good friend. Throughout this time after they would go to weddings collectively, she would say to him, I don’t assume I’m ever gonna get married. , I simply don’t assume that that’s one thing I would like. Ultimately, she broke up with him, and a few years into the breakup, he noticed footage of her engaged to this new individual that she had met. And within the footage, there was affection and love. The best way that she checked out her new fiance was the best way that he had all the time hoped she would take a look at him and it crushed him.
And I wished to make a video about this as a result of it’s a specific type of ego dying when, nicely, A) we get damaged up with and we undergo the heartbreak of that, however B) when that heartbreak comes on the again of sure wants that we have now that weren’t being met within the relationship, issues we desperately wished to be true, whether or not it’s to have affection, to have their attraction, to really feel secure with them, to really feel beloved by them. Once we don’t really feel these issues, and we might someplace in our minds assume that that’s to do with them, it’s their stuff. Perhaps there’s one thing happening with them. They’re damaged. They’re not that type of individual. However then we see that they’re that type of individual with someone else, that every little thing we wished, that they may seemingly by no means give to us, they gave to another person. And in his case, that was each the love that he’d all the time wished, but additionally the truth that she mentioned she by no means wished to be married.
And what turned evident to him was that she was saying that on the weddings that they had been going to, as a result of it was a mirrored image of how she felt at the moment within the relationship with him, not a mirrored image of what she finally would’ve wished in her life. This is without doubt one of the hardest sorts of ego deaths as a result of it feels so obvious to us that there’s no logical get-out. This individual was this manner with me, and now they’re a very totally different means with someone else the best way that I all the time wished them to be. They’re that, however simply with one other individual, the logical conclusion that that leads us to is that there’s something improper with me. Plain and easy, not feeling like we’re sufficient and having very direct proof in entrance of us that that’s true. Once we had been within the relationship, we had been dwelling this life the place day by day our self-worth dial was fluctuating in response to how a lot consideration, power, love, and safety this individual gave us.
And we had been all the time dwelling on the mercy of that, which is why more often than not, as a result of they weren’t giving it to us, we didn’t really feel good. You might really feel anxious always. You’re always struggling, you’re always sad, you’re by no means at peace. And possibly you may’t even say that to pals of yours or household of yours as a result of it’s such a private factor and it’s such a susceptible factor to be feeling on a regular basis. You need to say that you just’re in a cheerful relationship. You don’t need to say that you just’re dwelling in a relentless state of tension or not feeling adequate, however that’s the place you reside emotionally. Typically we will dwell at that place emotionally for such a very long time that we don’t even notice how unhealthy we really feel anymore. , our family and friends might in a while discover, they might even say, I keep in mind whenever you had been in that relationship, you had been so sad.
However we didn’t even comprehend it was that apparent to all people else on the time. We didn’t know that we had been altering. However you may’t have your self-worth in query for that lengthy with out it beginning to have an effect on the best way you come throughout in life. So it is a very, very painful place to be. And we spend our lives type of, you recognize, if we’re all the time making an attempt to slay a dragon in life when it comes to the hero’s journey, Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, we’re all the time, you recognize, to develop into the hero we’re trying to slay a sure dragon. And the entire time we had been within the relationship, we had been making an attempt to slay the exterior dragon of affection, validation, making an attempt to really feel sufficient, making an attempt to really feel wished, making an attempt to really feel like we’re worthy as a result of someone else desires us. However that dragon ate us and spat us out and left us bleeding out on the ground.
And in that second, it’s a chance to show to a distinct dragon, to show to the dragon inside us, which is the actual dragon that needs to be slain. That inner dragon that makes us sufficient already that if we slay that dragon, this dragon over right here, this exterior dragon would by no means be capable of do that to us on this means. In reality, the interior dragon is far larger and way more highly effective than this exterior one which has damage us so badly. However this one was capable of damage us so badly as a result of we haven’t turned our consideration to the interior one. And that’s why we have now been so determined for this individual’s approval or validation within the first place. That’s why we put up with a relationship the place our wants weren’t being met for therefore lengthy, solely to have somebody break our hearts and meet another person’s wants.
And naturally, after we’re bleeding out on the ground, there are various folks that come alongside that attempt to, uh, distract us from our ache. They attempt to divert our consideration to different issues that might bolster our ego. , get the revenge physique. What’s that? Ego. Exit and have rebound relationships. What’s that? Ego. Do that to get them again, make them jealous. Ego. It’s all about taking this crushed ego and going right here. We are able to put it on life assist by you getting some consideration elsewhere. However after we try this, we by no means get the good thing about an ego dying. I do know it sounds loopy, however an ego dying is each probably the most painful factor, but additionally the best invitation for us to develop into a much bigger model of ourselves. And if we distract ourselves, for instance, by simply hopping into the subsequent relationship, and the subsequent one and the subsequent one, you see, individuals by no means slay that inner dragon. In order that they’re all the time a sufferer to each exterior dragon.
We frequently ignore that inner dragon, particularly within the, both the nice instances in our life, cuz within the good instances of our life, our ego is being stroked by all of this stuff which might be going nicely for us or within the instances of our life the place we’re combating for a relationship. It’s additionally a time the place it’s very arduous to do this inner work and slaying that inner dragon as a result of we’re so centered on slaying the dragon on the skin. We wake, get up each morning making an attempt to get this individual extra drawn to us, making an attempt to make them need us, making an attempt to do an ideal acrobatic routine to make this individual fall extra in love with us or love us the best way that they used to like us. And that’s all-consuming. That takes up all of our power.
However after we are on the finish of that journey and we have now had our ego crushed in that second of annihilation, that is a chance to construct a distinct type of relationship with ourselves. That’s an opportunity for us to point out that we will get by one thing actually troublesome, that we have now our backs in a extremely robust time. It’s a type of invitation to a gentler type of relationship with ourselves the place we all know we’d like compassion and beauty and empathy. The connection we construct with ourselves after we get by these instances may be very pure. We develop into pleased with ourselves as a result of we, we predict I’m doing one thing actually arduous proper now. Overlook whether or not I evaluate to this individual or that individual. what’s humorous is a scenario like this forces your hand to give attention to getting price from a distinct supply as a result of it, you may’t get it from this supply anymore, proper?
You, you’re feeling like I misplaced, there’s no, there’s no, you recognize, dressing it up. I simply really feel like I misplaced. I simply really feel like I’m a loser proper now. And I don’t imply a loser within the emotional sense, however I imply a loser in life. I misplaced one thing. So our price doesn’t come from that factor anymore. And after we really feel compelled to get our price from a distinct place, we begin asking, nicely, what, what’s going to my price be primarily based on right here on this state? And our price begins getting primarily based on these quieter, subtler issues like the truth that we bought away from bed this morning, or the truth that we simply spent an hour with a, an excellent good friend and listened to that good friend, or had been loving to that good friend, or how we present up with our household, maybe the best way that we throw ourselves right into a undertaking of ardour, and even simply the best way that we’re conducting ourselves by this time.
We are able to develop this sense of satisfaction and esteem, vanity that’s a lot, way more highly effective than any exterior supply of price. , I all the time assume a supply of on the spot confidence. The con- individuals all the time speak about confidence is one thing that will get constructed, however there’s a, there’s an on the spot entry to confidence if we simply take a second to understand what we have now already performed in our lives, what we have now already been by, what we’ve already overcome, how we’ve needed to be sturdy to outlive in our lives. Once we actually connect with that, I all the time, once I try this for myself, I all the time assume it nearly dissolves no matter room I’m going into hoping that somebody’s gonna like me or I’m gonna impress somebody that’s dissolved. After I take into consideration the entire ways in which I’ve already made myself proud by the best way I’ve proven up in my life and what I’ve bought by in my life.
Trigger I believe, God, that individual has no thought what arduous conditions I’ve been by. They do not know what number of troublesome issues I’ve performed in my life. I do know, and I’m pleased with me for having bought by these issues this individual doesn’t. So why am I on the lookout for their approval, my very own approval is sufficient for me? And that turns into very enticing power, proper? As a result of when somebody feels they want our approval, our validation or is in fixed comparability mode between themselves and different individuals, we register that as unattractive power. However when somebody doesn’t want any of that from us, we register that as enticing power. However that enticing power can’t be faked. It’s a deeper type of safety. And that deeper type of safety truly can come up from the toughest instances in our life and the way we performed ourselves by them and the way we bought by them.
So the good irony of you having an ego dying, of a breakup, or being betrayed, cheated on, or simply seeing somebody who couldn’t give their greatest to you, give their greatest to someone else. If you undergo that, the factor that’s the crushing power in your ego is definitely the life power of the power that’s going to make you probably the most enticing model of your self down the road. When you have suffered an ego dying this yr, and as a substitute of being distracted to different sources of ego, you need to do the work that’s gonna make you that terribly highly effective model of your self, a yr from now, two years from now, 5 years from now, I wanna prolong you an invite to come back and do it with me at my Retreat this yr in October from the ninth to the fifteenth in Florida.
