There is a battle raging in our minds.

On one side are Disruptors who wreck any attempt at increasing either your happiness or your performance.  

On the other side is your Guide, who has access to your wisdom, insights, and often untapped mental powers.

Your internal war between your Disruptors and your Guide is tied to a war for domination. The strength of your Saboteurs compared to the strength of your Guide is how much of your true potential you actually achieve.

Your Judge is the master Disruptor, and one everyone suffers from it. It compels you to constantly find faults with yourself, others, and your conditions and circumstances. It generates much of your anxiety, stress, anger, disappointment, shame, and guilt.

The Judge’s most damaging lies are:

·      We are not worthy of love or respect by just being who we are.

·      Judging others.

·      Judging the circumstances and events in our lives and finding them lacking. 

But, alas, the Judge is not alone, it is joined at times or in conjunction with nine other Disruptors.

A Disruptors do their greatest damage if they convince you that they are your friend, and you accept it into your trusted inner circle. Each Disruptor has some very reasonable-sounding justifications for its actions—they tell you how they are your friend and why they are good for you—but these justifications are nothing but well-masked lies. And even if you unmask them all you find out that high distress triggers them to make additional mistakes while anxiously focusing on not repeating the error.

The Guide is very different, it will empathize with you and reassure you that, even though you made a mistake, you are still a wonderful person. It tells you to have compassion for yourself—it reminds you that everything, even your mistakes, can be turned into gifts and opportunities by the way you respond to them. With your guide, you are more likely to take a good look at your mistake and explore what really happened and where you went wrong. To develop creative solutions for how you could do better next time and prevent even bigger mistakes.
