Self Sabotage and Perseverance
Self-sabotage is a common pattern that many people struggle with. It is often linked to our fear of being hurt, based on prior experiences, which can lead us to make choices that ultimately prevent us from achieving our goals. Whether it’s in our personal or professional lives, self-sabotage can have a significant impact on our ability to succeed.
The fear of being hurt is a natural human emotion that results from past experiences. It can lead us to avoid taking risks, trying new things, or putting ourselves out there. For example, if we have been hurt in a past relationship, we may struggle to trust others in the future, leading us to sabotage potential new relationships by keeping our distance or pushing people away.
Self-sabotage is not limited to relationships either. It can show up in our work lives too. Goals that we set for ourselves are impacted by prior experiences that have caused pain. If we have failed at work in the past, we may feel unworthy or incapable of achieving our current career goals.
The problem with self-sabotage is that it can become a pattern that is repeated over and over again so unaware. We become stuck in a loop, making self-defeating decisions that ultimately lead to more pain and frustration.
To break free from self-sabotage, we need to challenge ourselves to see things from a different perspective. It is important to be introspective and understand the underlying emotions that are driving our actions. It requires taking the time to self-reflect and get to the root cause of our fears.
Healing is another important step that we need to take to overcome self-sabotage. It can be hard to move forward from our past experiences, but acknowledging and accepting them is an essential part of the healing process. We must be willing to seek HONEST help and support, whether it be through therapy, counseling, or simply talking with friends and family.
It’s not enough to only be open about our struggles; we must also make a conscious effort not to make others suffer because of it. When we are caught up in our own emotional turmoil, it’s easy to become self-focused and not consider how our actions might impact those around us. We must strive to be mindful of how our behavior affects others and take responsibility for our actions.
Self-sabotage is a challenging pattern to overcome. We must challenge ourselves to see things from a different perspective, heal from our past experiences, and be mindful of how our actions impact others. By taking these steps, we can break through the cycle of self-sabotage and achieve the success we desire.

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think I am?
What do you wanna say?
What do you think will change?
Maybe I’m afraid of you.
Maybe I’m afraid of you.
I’ll bite the hand that feeds me.

"We-ell, the way I see it, you've got three choices," said Nobby.
"Yeah?"
"You can go and tell him you're not doing it..."
The panic in Colon's face was replaced by glazed gray terror.
"Thank you very much, Nobby," he said bitterly. "Let me know if you've got any more suggestions like that, 'cos I'll need to go and change my underwear."
"Or you could accept it and make such a screw-up of it that he takes it away from you..."
"You're doing this on purpose, Nobby!"
"Might be worth a try, Fred."
"Yeah, but the thing about screw-ups, Nobby, is that it's hard for you to be, you know, precise. You might think you're making a little screw-up and then it blows up in your face and it turns out to be in fact a big screw-up, and in those circumstances, Nobby, I'm sort of worried that what His Lordship might take away from me wouldn't just be the job. I hope I don't have to draw you a picture?"
"Good point, Fred."
"What I'm saying is, screw-ups is like...well, screw-ups is...well, the thing about screw-ups is you never know what size they're going to be."
Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

I Prefer Slow Growth Over No Growth At All
As things don't move as fast as you expected don't give up. Understand that consistency is key for any process to come to its completion.
In the meantime avoid self-sabotaging because you feel you're not where you should be.
This is the time you need to focus so you will stay on track. Remember that if you stop now you'll go back to where you were in the beginning. And in the beginning, you wished you were where you are now.
Hope it helped you stay motivated. Or t least keep focused.
