Male Dissonance - EP 27 - ft Chris Telfer

Dennis GableOctober 2, 2018
I WOULD HATE TO DIE KNOWING I NEVER LIVED. 🧔🏻💀 All four of these pictures are from 2010-2011...and the truest way to state this is to admit that I knew what was burning & stirring in my heart & I wasn’t brave enough to tell the truth. I was using Christian leadership to try & build a platform. I love to tell stories, make people laugh, comfort the hurting, & encourage the faint of heart...so what better way to do that than a pastoral platform? 🙏🏻 It was so easy to cave & conform to the expectations of others. I lied about who I was in order to “lead” people...wrap your mind around that statement. Now ask yourself how many times you’ve done the same? It doesn’t have to be leadership...could be love, employment, acceptance, etc. 😐 I hurt a lot of people by simply not being honest & authentic, but the person I hurt the most is myself. It has taken a lot of time, pain, & therapy to even acknowledge I was not being true to myself. These days I do whatever I want! Sometimes it’s harder to live authentically bc it’s rarely understood, but I promise you one thing: this is the most worthwhile work you will ever do. I’ll end this the way it started: I would hate to die knowing that I never actually lived. #selftosociety #beauthentic
OF COURSE YOU’VE FUCKED UP‼️ ▫️ ▫️ And So Have I...A LOT. It’s not the fact that you’ve fucked up or done something(s) you’re ashamed of that matters, it’s the lies you continue to believe about yourself that do. Large portions of my internal dialogue come from a version of me who is an ashamed, self deprecating asshole who wants nothing more than to destroy me & make me believe I am & embody the shittiest things I’ve ever done. ▫️ ▫️ Fuck that voice. You know the voice I’m talking about. You’re all too familiar with this voice. This overly abusive version of your internal self is not your truth! Psychologically we know that our brains work much harder at disqualifying us than it does building us up. To find yourself the victor of this dialogue is to submit to your own insanity. What do I mean? Glad you asked... ▫️ ▫️ You must call out the liar, much like you would when finding out that someone close to you lied about some serious shit. You must speak to yourself...out loud. “I am identifying the lie, which is, I AM NOT WORTHLESS, DIRTY, or DISGUSTING!! Rather, I AM REPAIRED, I AM SELF AWARE, I AM CLEANSED OF THOSE OLD PIECES”. I have & have had to do this over & over again throughout my adult years, especially the last 3. ▫️ ▫️ Upon exposing these elements of darkness, you MUST take steps while the path is illuminated. “I’ll Go First” is my expression of taking steps...it is me actively escaping decades of lies...and the truth is, I battle these demons everyday. ▫️ ▫️ Fight hard, my friends! 👊🏼
WE ARE CREATURES OF ADAPTATION! • • It’s not change that you fear, but the multiple facets of uncertainty. It’s not getting out of a bad relationship or leaving a terrible job that frighten you...it’s the reality that the patterns will change. You will have to sleep alone for some time, the help with children isn’t there. Finding the right route to your new career or restructuring your budget. These are the details that bring us anxiety... • • Embrace the change! It will be good for you. You’re adaptive & resilient...neither of which you had to learn, but were instinctively born with! • • I’m not big on goals for the new year, but if that’s something that will motivate you to break the cycle of relationships & situations that are unhealthy & only cause you harm, then take full advantage of the next 24 hours & make those hard, but healthy decisions. • • You got this!
