Fear's Fortune
It is said that 95% of your everyday function is performed by the unconscious - the programming that is inherent to a brain built for survival. For better or for worse, your life can often be a printout of unconscious behavior.
To recognize the things that drive you and the things that make you feel valued or rewarded is one thing. But to discern what it is that is holding you back, preventing you from seeing the truth, keeping you from taking that next step... there lies the greatest challenge of all. There lies the dragon.
"The dragon within you is not just an obstacle—it is a test of your courage. Face it, conquer it, and you’ll find that the treasure it guards has always been yours to claim."
- George R.R. Martin
Everyone has a dragon in their life, a remnant of the past used to predict the future. A judgment, a self-belief, a limiter, a fear. A shadow. In facing the dragon, the belief that you can change is of critical importance. Upon reaching the treasure you alter your destiny.
"The thing you most need is always to be found where you least want to look."
- Jordan Peterson
Defeating the dragon requires facing your perception of yourself - your past and your potential. You may find that perception built upon things that you didn't know lied dormant in you, steering your subconscious all along.
