"Something always happens by "coincidence" every time I make a little headway and it seems to sabotage all my efforts..."

 

Does that sound familiar to you?

 

Morry here...

 

A reader of ours recently said that he has a desire to make a change in his finances, he has the knowledge and strategies, he knows exactly what he needs to do.

 

He even has a very clear plan.

 

But...

 

Here is what he says:

 

"I am excellent at creating some extra money, but then something comes up each and every time and it goes down the
drain (sometimes literally)"

 

Can you identify with this behavior?

 

This happens to almost everyone of us.

 

Psychologists call this "Self Sabotage"...but I always like to refer
to it as an incongruence between the conscious and  subconscious parts of the mind.

 

Put simply...

 

You want something, but your subconscious wants something else.

 

You see there is a conflict.

 

Take the example from our reader above:

 

He wants to make a lot of money... but his subconscious wants to get rid of the money as soon as possible.

 

Let's try to solve this conflict by using a logical thinking tool called Evaporating Cloud developed by Eliyahu M. Goldratt.

 

Look at the following diagram that illustrates this conflict.
