Yesterday I told you a very personal story about the moment I realized the truth that lies at the core of ALL human struggle...
(And left you with a bit of a cliff hanger)...
Don't worry though... today all will be revealed :-)
You see, the truth that I realized that night 25 years ago is the most important of the 12 Universal Struggles that every person faces in life...
(It took me more than two decades after that night to recognize all 12, and develop techniques for freeing yourself from them)...
You see, once you're familiar with these 12 Struggles, it becomes MUCH simpler to strategically overcome them.
A little later I'll name all 12 for you...
And explain how to quickly develop the habits you need to become Master over them...
First though, the big reveal ;-)
What I realized that night in the gym, 25 years ago, staring at myself in the mirror...
Is the Central Struggle, Big #12...
The Struggle of Personal Power.
You see, we are taught to believe that your experience of life is the result of some outside influence...
"HE said THAT, so I feel THIS."
"THEY did THAT to me, so I'm experiencing THIS."
"The weather did THAT, so I feel THIS."
When you experience life like this...
REACTING all the time, never making the first move...
You are a slave of circumstance.
That night at the gym I realized this truth...
Every painful experience I was having was one that I had created for myself...
Call it The Law of Attraction, or whatever you want...
But my experience, your experience, and everyone else's on this PLANET...
Are CO-Created.
Because within you flows the POWER and ENERGY of the Source of Everything that is...
It's the energy that animates your body and keeps your heart beating...
And as humans, we have the unique ability to wield that energy, and direct it wherever we choose to focus...
So what I realized that night at the gym, and what you should be realizing right now...
Is Life does not happen TO you...
Life happens BY You...
THROUGH You...
So when you take RESPONSIBILITY...
When you consciously CHOOSE how you're going to feel at any given moment...
When you stop REacting and start taking every Action from a place of Peace and Power...
You become the hand of God.
That's what clicked for me 25 years ago, though it took me a little while to develop a strategy for overcoming this Struggle #12...
But once I did, it forced me to come face to face with Struggles #9, #10, and #11...
(remember how I mentioned there are 3 categories of struggle? 9-12 are Struggles of PURPOSE)
Knowing #12 is the most important...
But really you need to address all 4 Struggles of Purpose before you have any hope of achieving true fulfillment and peace of mind...
More on that tomorrow, though :-)
Peace & Power

P.S. Like I said, the 3 Categories (in order of importance) are:
Struggles of PURPOSE...
Struggles of PATH...
And Struggles of PLAN...
Most people spend all their time focusing on Struggles of Plan...
Struggle #1: Your Health
Struggle #2: Your Wealth
Struggle #3: Your Relationships with Others
Struggle #4: Your Relationship with Yourself
Now, of course these are all important to address for experiencing a complete life...
But they're superficial.
They're like the buildings and cities on the surface of our planet...
If the core is unstable and uncared for, no amount of work on the surface is going to stop the earthquakes...
And everything will inevitably come crashing down...
No matter how much effort you put into it...
Which is why over the next couple days, I'm going to share with you all The Struggles of PLAN and Struggles of PURPOSE...
So that you can immediately start taking the steps you need to start experiencing greater Energy, Vitality, Joy, and Growth...
Wherever you need it most.
