Self-awareness is that thing many people claim to have but in no time at all you know this person is completely unaware of themselves. Our versions of reality seem to fall in line with the narrative and stories we constantly remind ourselves of, but the truth is, we’ve constructed a reality shaped and influenced by emotions that were never truthful from the beginning. Robert Greene, just released another book, The Daily Laws, and he joins Tom in this episode to share his profound wisdom and understanding of human nature. He beautifully peels back the layers of complexity around how we are able to perceive the world around us and the way in which we fit into our own stories. The main point Robert drives home is the power of detaching yourself from the emotions and egos to take an honest assessment of what you are truly experiencing.

QUOTES:
“Deal with the world the way that it actually is, and not the way that you wish it were.” Tom Bilyeu [0:26]
“We completely take appearances for reality. That’s sort of the source of our problems and our misery to be honest with in life.” [1:10]
“When you’re very young you’re extremely vulnerable, you’re extremely open to the energies of other people in ways we don’t understand right now.” [6:38]
“So awareness is everything, the ability to look at yourself, realistically, and understand you’re saying, see things as they are, see the world as it is. It begins with yourself, seeing yourself as you are.” [11:28]
“If we saw completely into ourselves, we would hate ourselves so thoroughly, we wouldn’t get out of bed, we would all be killing ourselves, you do need a degree of illusion, you need a degree of self esteem and confidence” [20:14]
“We’re so attuned to what’s cool, to what other people are doing out there, what other people are saying that we lose kind of an intuitive grasp of who we are.” [22:50]
“The source of your power in life is your attitude towards the world.” [25:17]
“When you take 100% ownership, and you look at your life and say, My life is an exact reflection of choices that I’ve made. Now, if I want it to be different, then I just need only make different choices” Tom Bilyeu [32:39]

Except I just listen to people like you and Carl Jung ,etc. so although I am alone I am doing this work and facing the core of my feelings with the assistance of the internet. It’s all I’ve got and it is a very good guru with information. So maybe it’s how we use the internet. Im haling with it personally. It allows me to be in the world but not of it.

As a society we need to stop defining child abuse as only physical abuse. Emotional and psychological child abuse are commonplace and invisible in society.

The real world is far colder and darker than most people realise. Or as Robert puts it, people are worse than they think they are.

I love the fact that Tom asks his guests very interesting questions and then proceeds to let them answer and elaborate on them freely (without interrupting them).
Keep the good work up, Tom.

Primal wounds keep individuals from going through the process of healing. The pain is the result. The healing process begins when you experience the trauma of the wounds. You are not alone and you will be able to overcome the pain and suffering that you have experienced. The healing is a journey to be able to see what is happening and to see what you can overcome. I am grateful for this moment in time and I will continue my healing journey and be there for you to heal. I’m thankful for you and my prayers are with you all the time. I’m thankful to you for the strength you have given to me and for your healing. I am an angel and my work is going to paid through bring myself.

I don't like when people pretend to be pleasant and just show me their teeth instead of a natural smile.

I never cared what others had or didn't have. I care about being accepted . When I lived in Chestnut Hill, I told everyone it was Philadelphia. Now I don't care about being accepted by everyone. Birds of a feather flock together.

I listen and watch. I try to be pleasant each day, because I don't want to be sad. It's an effort every day to be upbeat. It's not for manipulation. I am afraid to ask or tell someone what to do.
