Making Peace With the Bad and the Ugly #shorts
When I started this journey —
I just wanted to know.
Why am I so screwed up?
What is wrong with me?
Working through my own stuff,
working with other people,
I discovered something.
We have a part of us
that's extremely smart.
And extremely not so smart.
I call it the intelligent idiot.
The faithful servant.
When you've had experiences that weren't so good —
this part of your brain captures them.
Internalizes them.
Uses them on you.
Why?
Because the good things don't keep you alive.
The bad things impact you.
So you remember them. Replay them. Recall them.
You're feeding it.
The intelligent idiot builds a program
to keep you alive and safe.
But that program ends up making you sick.
Making you miserable.
The way out?
Making peace with the bad and the ugly —
and keeping all the good.
That's the true way to freedom and emotional health.
