Hey there,

My name is François and I'm really happy to have you here.

I truly believe that the key to happiness,

Success and fulfillment is not knowing what to do but understanding why we choose to do otherwise.

I invite you to close your eyes and let these words sink in.

In the depth of our souls,

A battle rages on.

A struggle unseen but felt deep within.

Self-sabotage,

The silent enemy we face.

A cycle of destruction hindering our chase.

Why do we undermine our own success?

When all we strive for is to achieve our best.

In moments of triumph,

We stumble and fall.

As if our own doubts hold us in thrall.

We yearn for immediate pleasure,

Sweet embrace,

Choosing comfort over the unknown's daunting face.

But in doing so,

We limit our own growth.

Trapped in a cycle,

Our dreams become loathe.

Fear takes hold and we stick to what is known.

The familiar,

The safe,

A place we call our own.

Yet in this refuge,

We remain stagnant and confined.

Our aspirations silenced,

Our potential undermined.

To prove ourselves right,

We self-sabotage.

Confirming beliefs that hold us hostage.

Whether positive or negative,

Our thoughts shape our fate.

We create our own reality.

It's never too late.

Competing commitments,

Hidden in the depth of our mind,

Tug at our progress,

Leaving us behind.

Desires in conflict pulling us astray,

As success slips through our fingers day by day.

But take heart,

For there is hope to be found.

A way to break free,

To turn our lives around.

Recognize the patterns,

The self-sabotaging ways.

Illuminate the darkness,

Bring forth brighter days.

Identify the source,

The reasons we hold dear.

Challenge our thinking,

Let go of the fear.

Embrace discomfort as a necessary part of growth and transformation,

A journey to embark.

Craft a plan and stick to it with unwavering might.

Chart a course to success with determination in sight.

No longer victims of our own self-defeat,

We rise above our true potential we meet.

So let's unchain ourselves from the self-sabotage's hold.

Embrace our power,

Escape illusions that unfold.

Within the strength resides to conquer and grow.

To script a tale of triumph where success will glow.

No longer shall we be held back by our own hand.

No longer shall we let self-sabotage command.

In our pursuit of greatness,

We'll rise above.

Conquering the battle within with courage and love.

So my friend,

The choice is yours to make.

Will you continue self-sabotage or will you break?

Free from the chains that hold you tight and step into the brilliance of your own shining light.
