Invest in Yourself
Tuesday August 5, 2008
8:15 PM
Seth… Good evening.
Group… Good evening.
Seth… Pleasure to have some of you with us this evening. A little housekeeping here, Jasmine, how’s the typing doing?
Jasmine… Very badly.
Seth… Let me put it to you this way, you have exactly two weeks to finish because you do not want to let this go because this is an important session for you, and you must take responsibility for that which you do or do not do. How’s the typing going, Isabella? (Isabella giggling.)
Isabella … Fabulous.
Seth… You haven’t started on either session.
Isabella… Correct, but I am reading! I’m reading, I’m reading, I’m reading.
Seth… You have not started typing either session, please start.
Isabella… Okay.
Seth… How are the numbers going? (The idea of “The Numbers” is an exercise to strengthen and develop psychic ability with a partner where each partner will think of a number one to ten during the day and later check the accuracy with the partner.)
Isabella… They’re going.
Seth… They are not.
Isabella… Yes, they are.
Seth… Other than the fact that you both sort of remembered today and yesterday was more of a I’ll just throw out numbers and see if I can hit anything type of day.
Stephanie… I did get one, I got the seven!
Seth… Congratulations.
Stephanie… And a number.
Seth… Congratulations, total luck. Let’s try to do what you are supposed to do. Let us start.
If you have money and you want to make this money grow you invest it. You have an interest in promoting that which you as an individual desires. No one would even casually invest in what they know is a losing proposition. Yet for many the investment to lead and enjoy an incarnation is at best a hit and miss situation. How often are each of you guilty of saying I have done this before. This seems familiar to me. How does one justify their investment in repeatable losing ventures? When one continually chooses to make investments that cannot “payoff” you literally tell the universe I have not learned my lesson and in doing so you promote your own unhappiness. Change occurs when you realize that your investment in another is always inferior to an investment in yourself. The idea of if only I had said this, if only I had done that clearly demonstrates a position that causes one to be dragged from center stage and placed in a supportive role. Do you not see that each of you places themselves in a position where first you have no control over events and second your ability to assist others is compromised by your own inability to invest properly in self? The question arises when someone says, how come I don’t deserve that? Why don’t I get that? These statements are a clear indication that you are in a supportive role. You are not the star of your own play. You watch events pass by and hunger for that which you do not have. (Jasmine asked for assistance with dictation and received it.)
Isabella… You know I spoke… May I just ask a question? I spoke to my father about that today. When I was saying that I was feeling down and you know I was trying to talk myself out of that whole idea of, oh I’m thirty and I don’t have a husband and whatnot. And my father said that it’s normal to have those emotions and those feelings.
Seth… Having a feeling, having an emotion, having a thought about something that you do not have is quite factual. If you did not have these thoughts or feelings or desires you would be stagnant.
Isabella… Okay, okay. So, having those thoughts pushes you towards change?
Seth… Having a thought of something that you do not enjoy that you would like to change moves you in a direction of being able to change.
Isabella… Okay.
Seth… Your investment here is based on the want principle. A parent will clearly state, I want my child to have the best. I want my child to succeed. All these type of statements when allowed to go forward without an intervening process causes an individual to become so invested in what they believe are the needs of others makes them a victim first of themselves and second as our example of the (parent with the) child clearly shows of their play. Let us use a simple example, the man through whom I speak for years has said that he wanted to become a physician. When given the opportunity to study abroad he refused. His father who was so caught up in the play itself become so enraged that he did not speak to the man through whom I speak for six months.
Now… (There was someone talking.) Are we finished speaking?
Now, these situations routinely show that an investment in another cannot succeed. Another example here that clearly demonstrates how foolish this idea, or procedures are may be seen in Kaetorina’s husband William. William was foolhardy enough to become so enraptured and then invested in his bosses’ words and promises that he literally sold himself to this individual. What did he obtain for his efforts? Aggravation, an inferiority complex that grew tremendously, a desire to please unnecessarily and a lack of self-worth that still dragged him from his greatest point of power. Each of you know individuals who follow in this same path. Our therapists routinely see investment in others as a clear example of individuals who have no or at best low self-esteem. Therefore, the question arises what may I do when I find myself in this type of a situation? The first thing one must ask is this a repeatable offense. And let us for a moment assume that it is. Now the second question that one must ask is that since this is a repeatable offense why am I being pushed into this course of action? What profit will my investment in these actions give me? How do I benefit if I continue along this line? Those are the questions one must ask in order to divert yourself from becoming invested in this or anyone else’s play. (Stephanie asked to repeat dictation and Jasmine did.) If I cannot gain by giving “my money” then why proceed?
This is not to state that a desire for another to succeed is not proper. In fact, the more advanced you are the greater the desire to have someone else to succeed in any endeavor becomes paramount to your feelings of self-worth. You will notice here that the idea of jealousy may easily be seen in this type of behavior. The what about me situation is clearly demonstrated when jealously is added into an investment opportunity. How often do you hear that gamblers for the most part tell you about their huge winnings? Do they hold on to the winnings or is it more routine that they give back their investment! What have you done to bring yourself back to your greatest point of power when you find yourself walking along a road that leads to disaster? Is it not factual that for most your investment in disaster is more important than your investment in success, self or the promotion of others is, period. How often do you feel that you are alone, and no one understands that which you are going through? So, I ask each of you, are you truly alone? Is there no source of help available to you? Do you meditate? Do you find ways around difficult situations, or do you become so disappointed that your investment has once again failed?
Change occurs here when you decide that it is necessary for you as an individual to proceed differently than you have with similar past situations. You are therefore telling the universe and more importantly yourself that you are ready to change your perceptions of even the most difficult problems. How often do each of you repeat to yourself or someone else the same problem? As an example, here, I am so tired, I am so weary, I thought by now I would be further along, I thought my life would be different. How do these questions assist you in an investment in yourself? The answer is they do not. They only promote loss and becoming inferior to the situation itself. You cannot succeed in driving a car if the windshield is black and you have on a blindfold, yet this is what you do when you blind yourself to new open areas of discovery that are always waiting for you as an individual.
(Isabella must have left and come back in.) They will read it to you later Isabella.
The investment in self if done properly allows you to see yourself clearly and it will assist you in gathering information so that your decisions become clear.
I believe at this point we shall take a break.
Seth… Let us continue: Two things under a little bit of housekeeping that I shall deal very briefly with. First, I am going to encourage each of you to answer many, many, many questions. In fact, tell the man through whom I speak he is typing this session. Kaetorina you may certainly help him.
Isabella… You wrote that down so fast! Yay! You were like Jerry typing. (Stephanie is laughing.) (Session is being typed in February of 2015 by F.N. although Jerry will certainly assist in editing it.)
Seth… And second of all tell the man through whom I speak that his eye difficulty will pass without too much of an incident so it should alleviate any great anxiety on his part.
That being stated: A change of position if you will, you’ve clearly seen when an individual loses a spouse either through natural processes meaning the…
Jasmine… Death.
Seth… spouse has ended their incarnation. There is no such thing as death. Why don’t you leave that word permanently out of your vocabulary? Or the dissolutionment of a joining meaning the end of a marriage or a union. Males do not fare as well as females since they are more needy in terms of day-to-day practicalities of living. Yet they are far more adventurous in dealing with the social aspects of their own particular environment.
Jasmine… In other words, they don’t fare as well as females for example in terms of like doing laundry or going for shopping.
Seth… Their life expectancy also drops as well.
Jasmine… Right. But they are far more adventurous in terms of social aspects?
Seth… Yes, they are.
Jasmine… Their more adventurous?
Seth… Yes.
Isabella… Because they have their boys, go out with the boys.
Seth… And they are the ones who are usually there to ask a female out for dinner or a date. Females on the other hand are often left feeling that they are intruders into social situations. This is obvious when couples are involved since the other females instinctively act to protect their own.
Stephanie… Their own what?
Jasmine… Their own bed.
Seth… Or if in the case of a same sex union, their partner. Females are then left with the unenviable position of finding and dealing with other females who are in the same situation. It should be noted here that there is a competition instinctively among females who are in this situation as to who can obtain or capture if you will another male.
Isabella… (Laughing.) Capture!
Seth… Or female in the same sex category. Therefore, the investment in these types of behaviors is nonprofitable due to the fact… (Isabella said something.) What am I going to say?
Isabella… That you try to latch on or hold onto any relationship that you have for the simple fact of not having to get back into the game.
Seth… Correct. That you tend to promote relationships that are not to your benefit.
Are there any questions?
Isabella… Well, I mean I completely understand that, however in my current situation I feel that I’m becoming much, I’m becoming more aware faster of something that is making me unhappy and the ability that I have to get out without feeling a loss. I feel that that’s a change for me, obviously in respect to others in the past that I have tried to you know, relationships that I have tried to get out. I’m a little confused as to if I am looking for the negative to protect myself or…
Seth… Confused! (Isabella laughed.) Are you not rushing head long into saying, I’m done? Ridiculous.
Jasmine… How is it ridiculous to say she’s done?
Seth… I’m done dating. I am done with this person. I am done with my life! (Stephanie laughed.)
Isabella… I never said that.
Seth… It is the implication that you are making by the “I am done” situation.
Isabella… Well, I just said that… but I am not sure in this situation with this new guy if it’s a profitable situation for me.
Seth… Then if you are not sure then why continue or why end? You do not know.
Isabella… You’re right, I don’t know yet.
Seth… So therefore, if you do not know something how are you basing an adequate decision? What basis do you have for an adequate decision?
Isabella… Because at this point of reference I feel there’s more negative than there is good.
Seth… Therefore, you will state to any relationship partner whether it be a female that you ae just going out to the movies with. If they want to see a picture that you do not want to see…
Isabella… I just have to continually promote myself.
Seth… Correct.
Isabella… Which is what I’ve been doing with him which is very different than what I have done in the past. Usually I am the okay what kind of eggs do you like, I like that too.
Seth… You are the runaway bride… (The Runaway Bride, 1999 film starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Julia Roberts character Maggie, adjusts her interests to mimic the interests of her many fiancés and then runs away from the weddings.)
Isabella… Correct.
Seth… and I would research that statement for about oh, a few hundred years.
Isabella… But I don’t feel, I don’t feel that way in this one. I do not feel…
Seth… Your tendency still to this point of reference is to subjugate yourself to another’s ideas.
Isabella… But I am not doing that now!
Seth… You are but you are not aware of it.
Isabella… How am I doing that?
Seth… You are doing that by allowing statements to pass that you should answer.
Isabella… Such as?
Seth… Such… when statements come by that you so not like…
Isabella… Em hmm.
Seth… what do you immediately do? You come home and complain.
Isabella… I! That’s not true! I’ll come home and complain but I have addressed them with him.
Seth… You have addressed them, but you have not ended. An ending situation means I do not like what you are saying because of.
Isabella… Um, no I have said that, I have said those things to him. Absolutely said those things to him.
Seth… Not in a strong enough way that he can understand.
Isabella… He doesn’t hear anything. He doesn’t, he chooses not to hear anything.
Seth… And you said, are you listening to me, can you repeat what I said?
Isabella… So, I guess I am going to have to do that.
Seth… Continue.
Isabella… Umm, I do not feel I am subjugating myself to him at all, in fact and so I actually really do feel like in this case there is a big difference between this situation and other situations. I know that to be factual and I feel good about that. I feel good about the fact that I am…
Seth… I agree that you are starting to take a stand for yourself. That is as far as I will go.
Isabella… Okay I mean, I just that, you know I don’t really know where to go from here.
Seth… There is no place to go. There is no place not to go.
Isabella… Okay, then…
Seth… You must experience before you make a decision.
Isabella… You’re right.
Seth… That is the answer.
Isabella… And that’s what I said yesterday. I said yesterday that I was going to go with the flow. See what happens. See where the wind takes me kind of thing. Because I’m not really afraid. See that’s the difference, I don’t really feel afraid.
Seth… You are learning to promote self.
Isabella… I don’t feel scared that it’s going to work or not work. You know I am kind of like, I’m almost indifferent which is very unusual for me.
Seth… That’s also covered in this session being indifferent, stagnant and not healthy.
Isabella… Well, I am indifferent about whether or not if it works, fantastic, if it doesn’t work there will be another. I’m not, it’s not indifferent in the sense of not doing, no action. I feel that if it works, great, if it doesn’t so what! I’m not scared that it is not going to work out because I know that there will be someone else, eventually.
Seth… Again, that statement is slightly misleading to you if you look at your conversation this afternoon with the man through whom I speak you will see that you are still doing the same exact thing, your happiness.
Isabella… No, that was specific to today and not necessarily…
Seth… That’s all I stated.
Isabella… That is not necessarily as an overall feeling or sense of what I had.
Seth… The statement itself tells the universe you are not ready to give up this position yet.
Isabella… Which position is that?
Seth… Being inferior. I don’t have. Reread the session and consider yourself there.
Isabella… No, I do but I asked my father that specific question and I said, I don’t want to be, I don’t want to have those feelings. And he said to me, it’s normal to have those feelings.
Seth… It certainly, I covered that earlier when you asked the question.
Isabella… Exactly, but now you are saying the opposite.
Seth… No, I am not. Having a feeling…
Isabella… That’s all I had today was a feeling.
Seth… Having a feeling is one thing but dealing with it in a way in which you dealt with it is quite another. Read this session again and you will understand.
Isabella… I felt I dealt with it very well in fact. My father and I talked about it, and I felt a hundred percent better and I moved on.
Seth… Read the session again.
Are there any other questions?
Stephanie… With this patient who you know is a victim of her husband and no matter how horrible things get she has just such a difficult time leaving, this is what you are talking about the idea of, you know, is there a repeatable circumstance that you keep finding yourself in and why, you know, when she keeps getting presented the same scenarios why is she being pushed into the same course of action? She keeps doing the same thing and so when we talk about it, she says things like, I don’t know what it is I just feel like I have to be with my husband! Have to be with him.
Seth… Why? Why not?
Stephanie… I mean is, is…
Seth… That is the excuse that individuals use to maintain these situations where their investment is failing. I’m not going to sell the stock because I think it might go up. I’m going to put my investments into something else because this didn’t work but yet they do nothing.
Stephanie… And now behind it is she afraid of abandoning him? And she doesn’t want to be the…
Seth… No! She is afraid of loss of self. If I give him up, what am I?
Stephanie… Because he defines her as a victim.
Seth… She defines herself.
Stephanie… But he helps her to define herself…
Seth… She defines herself because she buys into what he is saying.
Stephanie… You meant when he says, I’m sorry and all that crap, yeah. I don’t know whether he’s going to agree to see me individually or whatever and work on his past but if he’s just going to come into session for two of them how, you know this pattern repeated again, how would I now approach it differently? We’ve gone through this pattern of he…
Seth… What good does saying you’re sorry mean when you do nothing else?
Stephanie… Okay and he says, you’re right it doesn’t do any good.
Seth… Therefore, why do you keep doing it?
Stephanie… I don’t know, it’s just what I do sometimes. This is what he does.
Seth… Show me how you are going to change? If you are here for a reason, what is the reason that you are here for?
Stephanie… Em hmm.
Seth… If you are here just to say you are sorry, say it to the lamppost. Say it to anything because it matters not. Change occurs when there is a desire for improvement. You understand that, Jasmine?
Jasmine… Change…
Seth… occurs…
Jasmine… occurs when there is…
Seth… Change occurs when there is a desire for improvement. Where there is no desire for improvement no change is adequate.
Stephanie… Does my patient’s husband think that he desires change?
Seth… Did you ask the question?
Stephanie… Because he wants thing to be better?
Seth… If he wants things to be better what effort is he doing to make a difference?
Stephanie… Right and we went through that and when I confronted him, you know, we came up with nothing. He’s doing nothing.
Seth… Therefore, if you are doing nothing why are you sitting across from me?
Stephanie… Or why are you coming?
Seth… Why are you coming? And if you are truly desirous of change, should you not be fostering a difference in your own behavior?
Stephanie… And he would say well I don’t know how to do that; this is just what happens.
Seth… Then you had better see me in a situation where…
Stephanie… Em hmm.
Seth… we can work on strategies for effective change.
Stephanie… (Isabella asked Stephanie if she could ask a question.) Yeah, go ahead.
Isabella… With Don, he has a very closed-minded perspective of situations.
Seth… Protectionism. Anyone who is limited, narrow viewpoint…
Isabella… Em hmm.
Seth… we’ve covered this before.
Isabella… Right.
Seth… Who has this perception, is narrow clearly indicates that they have a fear background and cannot or will not expand their horizons to incorporate a difference. They are so afraid of being seen for what they are that they limit their own possibilities.
Jasmine… Protectionism?
Isabella… So, in the sense of…
Seth… Excuse me.
Isabella… Right.
Seth… Do you not do this?
Jasmine… Do you mean having an unwillingness to see another viewpoint?
Seth… Correct. Do you stand up to or do you complain about?
Jasmine… Are you talking about my family?
Seth… Anyone.
Jasmine… Well, I wasn’t looking at… I think you just threw me because I now see two different things. I thought when Isabella was talking about Don, she was talking about he has a narrow viewpoint on issues and seems unwilling to open up…
Seth… This is not about Don, this is about you, Jasmine. This is about…
Jasmine… I thought that’s what you asked me, and I said sometimes that’s true. Then you just asked me…
Seth… It is true.
Jasmine… Then you just asked me, do I have a problem standing up to others.
Seth… Don’t you?
Jasmine… Yes.
Seth… Narrow viewpoint. If you become grander then the sum of your part, you can answer back. You can take charge of a situation that you do not like. When you do not see yourself as worthy you cry, you become upset, I wish I had said that. How come I didn’t think of that? Does this sound familiar in this session? Your investment in you is diminished because you do not promote yourself and you should always promote yourself in a fair and just manner. Individuals that learn to promote themselves in a fair and just manner, if you do not then you are diminishing your own self-worth.
Jasmine… I understand that…
Seth… The question that you asked before am I talking about standing up to your family? Obviously. Are we talking about standing up to friends? Obviously. Am I talking that when Isabella victimizes you do you accept it or do you answer back properly?
Jasmine… I try to answer back properly I…
Seth… Debatable.
Jasmine… don’t think I do.
Seth… If Isabella answers you in what you believe is an inappropriate manner, how often have you said, why are you speaking to me that way? This is what I have heard. This is what you said, and this is how I took it. Please explain to me why you did this. That promotes you and will give you practice to expand your horizons with family and friends etcetera.
Jasmine… I tried to do that, but Isabella is difficult.
Isabella… I don’t think you have ever asked me that one time.
Seth… Practice… We are not getting into a discussion of how much. I’ve given Jasmine a methodology here.
Jasmine… I have said, why are you raising your voice? I have said that.
Seth… Why are you raising your voice is not what I stated. That does not help you. Why are you speaking to me like that? This is what you said. This is what I heard. This is how I took it. Would you please explain to me why you said what you said? Practice on the most difficult person that you know.
Yes?
Isabella… So, in this idea that he has this very narrow viewpoint of living in certain communities, raising children in a certain way, besides the fact that it’s so ridiculous to even be thinking about it because it is so early in a relationship…
Seth… But you are having fun with it, both of you.
Jasmine… Initially.
Isabella… However…
Seth… Excuse me, we have an investment here. How much money have you just added to her account and withdrawn from yours? (Jasmine indicated that it was a lot.) Correct. Why is it necessary for you to place yourself in a position that you cannot win? Please reread this session and also do the typing. The session that you have to type also addresses these type of issues. It is vital for your own self-worth that you either will or will not.
Jasmine… I will.
Isabella… So yes, initially it was a fun thing. However, core differences have come out, obviously in this playful banter.
Seth… Opinions. Opinions!
Isabella… Okay. So now his opinion on this is almost leading me to not want to be with him because it is so different than what I believe.
Seth… My question is simple, what have you addressed with him? Have you sat down and said you said this, you said this, you said this, you said this, you said this, my feelings are vastly different? Can we talk about them now? Or would you prefer waiting two weeks, five weeks, a month, five years?
Isabella… Well, we’ve discussed that, it’s stupid to discuss it.
Seth… Then therefore why bother at this point of reference?
Isabella… You right, there’s no point.
My… I guess my question is how do you deal with someone that seems to have and not, it doesn’t have to be him, it could be anybody but seems to have a very narrow viewpoint and whose opinion is variously different that yours, how do you go about having an adequate, that’s not the right word, conversation or a beneficial conversation in which opinions are discussed and other viewpoints can be taken into consideration?
Seth… Let us assume hypothetically that you have a wall that you could have a sixty-inch television placed on that wall, but the room is smaller, and you feel that a thirty-six-inch television should be placed on that wall. But yet your partner wants a sixty-inch television, and you are going to have a proper discussion about this. Well, in any discussion you must be able to see their viewpoint just as that person must be able to see yours and then there is a word that individuals rarely do without, anger.
Isabella… Compromise.
Seth… That’s correct. A compromise and it has been stated before and it is quite true is an agreement that both people hate. In certain types of compromises, you as an individual will not like the situation where it ends up and that is perfectly acceptable, but you are not going to hold that against this other person and the reverse is also true. Do you understand?
Are there any other questions?
Stephanie… When you talk about Bill and how much of a victim, he became…
Seth… Is.
Stephanie… Yeah, I mean is but became having to do with one of his bosses and the whole situation and you know I think I have a question about, it seems like, and I know this is kind of linear kind of thinking but his self-worth was triple fold damaged further from being a victim there and um…
Seth… His self-worth will not improve if he confronts anyone. The time is long since passed.
Stephanie… So oh, you are referring to if he had this breakfast thing and he says something.
Seth… Or a letter, or an e-mail.
Stephanie… Right so it doesn’t matter anymore.
Seth… Whether he does or he doesn’t, matters not.
Stephanie… Because it wasn’t in the moment you mean?
Seth… Correct.
Stephanie… Right. But my question is how does, you know I know that change is simultaneous but so then where does, where does negativity have a compound effect where…
Seth… If you keep repeating the same offense.
Stephanie… Right, so he is and so then does the person have the same opportunity for instant change? If the offense builds and…
Seth… If you do something once, let us use Jasmine as an example. She invests her ideas in her kind desire for her daughter Isabella’s happiness.
Stephanie… Right.
Seth… She does it once that’s fine. When she’s done it three thousand times…
Stephanie… (Whispered.) She does. (Giggled.)
Seth… she becomes a victim of herself, and it compounds and makes matters worse each time she does it because in any situation that has the fact of a lack of understanding on her part of what she is doing compounds itself so that she becomes more and more unhappy every time Isabella does not meet her own expectations.
Stephanie… Okay but for Jasmine what then is her ability to change?
Seth… The same as your ability when you walk down a road where you are unhappy, and you know exactly what I am talking about with major trust issues. How many of them are there that you have faced and then I have finally stated to you why don’t you ask me a question instead of becoming miserable?
Stephanie… Okay.
Seth… Please show me how you have learned? Well now that you can’t we shall go on.
Stephanie… (Stephanie laughed.) How I have learned not to go down that road?
Seth… Yes, come on, I’m waiting.
Stephanie… Well um…
Seth… The answer is I have not. Don’t even bother making an excuse.
Stephanie… Well, you’re saying the road is exactly the same?
Seth… Anyone who repeats the same idea, this is an idea, an action, a thought, a word that you constantly repeat, your investment here lacks, lacks, lacks, the smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller. You are not improving your standing, you are decreasing.
Stephanie… So then how does that change become attainable?
Seth… Did I, did you read the session? You’re becoming very close to typing this (Stephanie laughs.) session.
Stephanie… But my question has to do with as things get compounded and you said change is instantaneous.
Seth… If you make it so.
Stephanie… But how probable is that statement with what you are just saying?
Seth… When you find that you choose not to be an alcoholic anymore and say that I will never have another drink, change is instantaneous. It may be hard, it may be difficult, it may be painstaking and there may be huge physical discomfort, but the change is instantaneous.
Stephanie… But how would you make that analogy to emotional, to behaviors?
Seth… A person who wants a drink, has an emotional attachment to the drink, to the cigarette, to the drug.
Stephanie… Em hmm.
Seth… It’s no different.
Stephanie… So, you’re talking about going cold turkey to the repeated event?
Seth… It is the not wanting to put yourself in a situation where you find loss upon loss upon disappointment upon unhappiness.
Stephanie… Right so when you feel the trigger there that’s when the change would be made?
Seth… When you say, I’m not doing this.
Stephanie… Right, okay.
Seth… That’s the change.
Stephanie… Right, first you have to be aware of the unhappiness about.
Seth… Note, I am not stating here that one shouldn’t be hopeful for someone else. That’s not what I am saying. You can certainly say, I’m glad my daughter in this instance is dating somebody nice. I’m glad William has finally gotten rid of a bad boss, and I am hopeful that he can continue along on his happy ways at work. But the second you start fantasizing, the second you start placing a value on those ideas, it is the second you lose.
Stephanie… You invest in the idea.
Seth… The value, the monetary value, quote emotional.
Stephanie… So, for Bill what would his trigger be in terms of losing himself in a…
Seth… I have to seek approval from.
Stephanie… Uh huh and would he be aware of that feeling internally if he were going to pay attention to it?
Seth… Possibly, possibly not. Should his investment be in his job, in his ability to learn and his ability to well or his ability to please?
Stephanie… No, obviously the first.
Seth… Are there any other questions?
Let me leave you with this: First Kaetorina you will take over at least half the typing of this session. Second, an investment is there to increase in value. No one makes an investment to lose. Your needs are met when your value is increased. Your wants or losses are diminished when you promote yourself.
I bid all of you fond good evening.
(Session ended at 9:41 P.M.)
