Stage 4, day ~19, 2nd run
Long time, no write!
I've been making (at least subjectively) great leaps of growth in the last few weeks. This has been done not without massive conscious effort, as well as intense spiritual work. I've still got a lot more work to do before I consider myself successful, but it seems I'm getting a more detailed map of how to get there. I'm not sure how significant the sub's role in this is. In any case, I'm far from blaming the subliminal for anything, and here's why.
Yesterday I took a Myers-Briggs test, almost as a joke. I didn't use to believe in that sort of stuff, which is why it hit me even harder. Turns out I'm an ESTP-A, and it's freaky how much they got right about me. Inability to keep a long-term relationship or follow a long-term goal, great salesman/persuasion skills but inability for true intimacy, etc. While reading my ''profile', I kept thinking "Isn't everybody that way?", only to find out the answer is "No!" after short introspection. Anyway...
What's related to the subs is this - the ESTP type is the most resistant to outside influence out of all 16 possible types. I already suspected that Shannon's subs had found a worthwhile challenge in me even before I ran BASE, but I didn't expect it to be so pronounced.
All in all, the results confirmed what I already knew deep down- I have the full potential (and a lot of the necessary skills) to be a top entrepreneur and I have stubbornness to overcome before I get there. It's a huge relief for me to have things put into perspective so clearly. I am really, truly enjoying the ride.
