Are You Subconsciously Sabotaging Your Success Because You Feel Guilty About Becoming Successful?
Have you ever felt guilty for eating that cookie, taking it all for yourself, and feeling like you’re such a bad guy for not sharing? There was this time in my life wherein I’ve gone through the same thing. I’ve felt bad about success, thinking that it wasn’t meant for me. I used to think that everything I learn, I should always share with everybody. But then, I was enlightened that it was becoming detrimental to my own dreams. So today, I encourage you to go after those goals and receive those blessings. Believe me when I say that they are meant to be yours.
“Take a breath, receive the blessing, receive the compliment, receive the good news, and receive that piece of wisdom. That one was meant for you.”
– Keith Kalfas
Why do you have to listen to today's episode.
00:48 – “Whenever you hear a beautiful piece of information or something really wise, you have these deep levels of inspiration, and piece of advice comes to you at just the right time, and then you make progress…”
I was once a social media addict; I used to share literally everything that happens. But nowadays, I find myself spending less time on it.
02:44 – “I was actually afraid of success so I was sabotaging my own success and doing everything to help everybody else because I was too afraid and too guilty.”
Back then, whenever I learned something new, I would always share it with people, thinking that I should. Holding so much pride in myself for being a giver and creating value. But then I realized that it was holding me back from my own success, so I took a step back and embraced the fact that what comes my way is meant for me.
07:09 – “Take a breath, receive the blessing, receive the compliment, receive the good news, and receive that piece of wisdom. That one was meant for you.”
I worked hard on learning how to be not only a cheerful giver but also a cheerful receiver. You’ve got to learn how to receive good things in life because otherwise, you’ll end up trapped in the dark.
09:54 – “I’ve never been this successful in my life and I’m getting more successful every single day. I literally cannot stop this upward momentum. I feel happier and healthier and more physically in shape, and my mind is cleaner.”
It’s been a tough journey, learning what’s real and what’s not. There are some people who even tried to take me down, but that’s okay; it happens. When you start to grow and shine, you’ll really cast a shadow.
13:29 – “It’s painful to grow, like a cocoon into a butterfly. It’s a painful process. But I learned that to keep a caterpillar in the cocoon and keep wrapping that cocoon tighter and tighter so the caterpillar cannot transform and become a butterfly is way more painful.”
Allow yourself to grow. Allow yourself to become successful. Allow yourself to experience your greatness. Allow yourself to become happy.
Key Takeaways
“I started to stop and take a moment and say, wait a second. What if this amazing thing I just learned on this video or from this person or from this relationship, what if this was meant for me? What if this was meant just for Keith right now? And I stopped and I said, just breathe and practice receiving. And this is what doubled my income. It doubled my income, my revenue, in 24 months.”
“Other people’s victim stories and unwillingness to grow and evolve in their own life will really be exposed, and there will be a spotlight put on them when you start to grow and you start to shine and you have such a big form that you start to cast a shadow.”
“It’s painful to grow, like a cocoon into a butterfly. It’s a painful process. But I learned that to keep a caterpillar in the cocoon and keep wrapping that cocoon tighter and tighter so the caterpillar cannot transform and become a butterfly is way more painful.”
