I see that I am never disconnected from God, myself and other people. I can feel disconnected. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Untreated under-earning will lead me to death. It might be a quick death. For example, I was going through a stretch of exertion-exhaustion. I caught a thought recently where I said to myself, &#8216;I am so tired. I don&#8217;t know how to slow down. Maybe I could get into a car accident, not a bad one, just so I could stay in a hospital for a few days and then I could just rest.&#8217; That&#8217;s the under-earning thinking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Staying in the cave&#8230;is suicide. This program requires that I grow in public, that I expose myself, that I expand, and that I do it in relationship.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a victim, I don&#8217;t have choice. The only antidote is entitlement. My mom abused me so somebody owes me a job or my wife owes me this or my dad wasn&#8217;t there for me, so my boss owes me. It doesn&#8217;t make sense, but the thinking is entrenched.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I sell myself short, I find that a lot of people are buying. There is no shortage of people who will support me in my misery. It is important that I stay close to people who are living the light of this program.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m listening to Matt&#8217;s talk, number 113.
