Episode #136: Status

We often think of status from an external perspective. How do people perceive us? The answers can be damaging or liberating. But that’s chicken feed. What’s more likely to drag your brain along the sharp edges of a cracked glass is thinking of status from an internal perspective. How do you perceive yourself? Tony Robbins talks about decisions being made to avoid pain or to produce pleasure, but you can also say that all decisions either increase or decrease our status. What school will I go to? What football team will I join? Who will I marry? What house will I buy? Where will I live? What career should I choose? Should I drink alcohol or not? Of course, you only utter the final question after becoming addicted to alcohol, by which time, your status is already enshrined in your social commune. It’s a question you now ask frequently. It’s a question that brought you here. The new question is: “Will my decision to be someone that doesn’t drink alcohol increase or decrease my status.” Some of you are answering “decrease” and others are saying “increase” right now. But I am here to tell you that there is only ONE answer, right now. Decrease. You can try and big up this non-drinking lark if you like. You can picture the rainbows, and grab hold of the rock hard horns on top of the unicorns, but you know it, and I know it, when you stop drinking alcohol your status will plummet rapidly. And here’s the thing. You can only become someone that doesn’t drink alcohol by accepting this notion. Not because I said so, because you believe so with conviction. Only when you do this. Only by siding with the resistance will you see the truth. It will be so clear the sight of it will knock you off your feet. Join me at 6pm (BST) on Saturday 30 June as I deliver an exclusive webinar on Resistance including what it is, how it manifests and how to beat it. Sign up at www.thetruthaboutalcohol.co.uk today.
