You have a certain birthright you can’t escape – perhaps your body type, perhaps a biochemical tendency towards addiction or depression, perhaps a chronic illness, perhaps a traumatic episode from your past. And since these limitations can be so painful, it’s easy to trick yourself into thinking it’s better not to confront them directly. Better, even, not to know what they are.
After all: what you don’t know can’t hurt you.
That’s a cop-out. It’s crazy personal theater. Don’t give in. You can’t escape your birthright, but you can sure escape your ignorance.
Wes didn’t train his clients; he educated them. He taught them to be content with the gifts they were given, while at the same time teaching them to fully realize the potential of those gifts.
Trust me: those are beautiful lessons to learn.
