TNR Happenings, March 13, 2023

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have their ducks in a row while others seem to struggle and are always scrapping by? In the world of appearance, it’s never about truth or essence, it’s completely made up. You can make millions without having any particular skill. Look at models and you will see the face and figure that was given to them (not earned) by their mothers. What you don’t earn, you can’t keep. Some people pursue this avenue of being a model and if they are a lottery winner (lucky), they can be like Tom Brady’s former wife and out-earn a Hall of Famer, by far. How many attractive people do you know that aren’t models? How can this be?

The point is, society by and large creates your worth for you, with or without talent. Did you see celebrities when they were paid to influence people in the covid debacle? When people’s survival was threatened, celebrities were hiding in their basements with their masks on and had to have name tags beneath their pictures because in a few months they lost their relevance. A secret that few will ever realize is that you and only you create your value and your worth. The average person allows a corporation, government, society, their parents, etc. to tell them how valuable they are. If there was ever a reason to become a contrarian, a Level 2/DCME person, it’s this. Regulatory bodies, medical/drug companies, insurance companies, etc. carefully patrol and look for anyone who is going their own way and then offer resistance from legal to seizing licenses, burying people in paperwork, harassment, etc.

Let’s look at the mindsets of people who allow others to set their worth and others that know and create their own worth. Say a movie star gets sick. Life and death sick. They will be wooed by their agents, managers, etc. (can you imagine putting your life in the hands of your agent?) to who they think the best doctor is. They will sign autographs and let the paparazzi follow them around inside the hospital while they are in a death spiral. Conventional help for conventional diseases isn’t going to end well for them. Invisible diseases like mental and emotional impairment, PTSD, concussions, anxiety, and depression wanting to end life have woefully low survival rates. We expect and accept (some even say we create!) conventional diseases and war as a way of life in the world of appearance.

Yet the mindset of the contrarian, the doctor/healer/shmealer dares to differ. The conventional treatment is to be avoided like a land mine. You must have the fortitude to resist the impassioned pleas of loved ones, including spouses, parents, siblings, nurses, etc. They may be well-intentioned but they will cost you your life. You know because of your experience and your value that the herd or majority are looking for simple solutions to complex problems. You know that you will need to find a Miyagi or a Cesar Millan and you will need to put skin in the game if you are to be successful when the 4 Ds (divorce, disease, death, depression) come knocking unannounced and unwelcomed at your door. You do not want the guy down the street who you trade adjustments with and not your college professor! And you do not want the president of the regulatory board, the PI/WC whore, the technique master, or the DC who has the best compute billing software. You will search long and hard for the person to pull the proverbial sword from the stone.

The same mindset for getting out of circumstances you didn’t ask to be in is intimately woven into your self-worth like a spider web. It’s not just economics, it’s marriage, relationships, parenting, and purpose and passion for life. It’s like following people who can’t get results but you think they know more than you. They don’t.
