SELF-SABOTAGE:
“Self-sabotage takes many forms, such as quitting school, taking low-paying jobs, choosing a spouse who abuses you physically or verbally, spending more than you make, committing slow suicide with tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs, getting involved in crime, working yourself to illness or death, self-starvation, self-inflicting wounds, running away, dropping out, or engaging in behaviors that undermine your health, success, or relationships…We end self-sabotage only by taking responsibility for the choices and actions that created it…

You may not stretch for your goals because you don’t feel deserving of achieving them. Or you may stir up problems around you because you’re used to keeping life a little aggravating- because you don’t cope well with smooth sailing. Stay vigilant to be sure you are not sabotaging your efforts to achieve your goal because you aren’t yet certain that you deserve to do so.” -From, “Everyday Enlightenment” By: Dan Millman
