How to change your past


Reader,

This is just a reminder...

The past is irrelevant.
Unless you give it relevance.

The past does not exist outside of
your present memories about
what you call the past.

In other words, you "create" the past
every time you "remember"
what you think happened.

In fact, every time you recall a past event
you don't recall the original event
but rather how you recalled it
last time you told the story.

It's how our brains work.

So then...

πŸͺ΄ If you want to change your past
πŸͺ΄ recall a specific "past"
πŸͺ΄ how you want it to
πŸͺ΄ have happened.

"But Ivan... it's not that simple."

It is that simple.

From a purely physiological perspective
your past changes anyway.

So you simply become more intentional
in directing that change.

From a universal perspective,
there's no past at all.

Just an experience of "a past".

Reader, I've made a decision... This is the last email I am sending to you. Here's why: My KPI these days is: Sense of satisfaction per unit of time (usually minutes) Honestly, I am no longer getting enough sense of satisfaction/fulfillment from crafting these emails every Sunday. Every week, I feel like I'm screaming into an empty, bottomless well. What I put together might be of value to some (and maybe to you). But I don't know about it. These days, I get far more fulfillment and...

What am I doing with my life? When a person is forced to ask this question, they usually feel they have only two choices: One, abandon their current pursuits which they no longer resonate with ...but fear that if they do, they'll no longer desire and achieve like before In other words, they feel they'll resign from life (as they know it πŸ˜‰) Or Two, they turn a blind eye to the question and stay out of alignment by continuing with their current pursuits ...of goals and aspirations they no...

Reader, This is the most depressing question. Or is it? Could it be ultimately the most liberating? I'll argue that it is. Two years ago, I had a coaching call with someone I know well. At that point, I would have qualified him as an ambitious overachiever. Not only did he have huge ambitions. He also had huge standards for himself. If he didn't achieve according to his standards, he'd be hard on himself. As usual, his standards arose from witnessing other overachievers crush big goals....
