Ultimately there are three ways to do life. It is possible to remain in one of these ways for your entire life or to mix between them on a weekly or even a daily basis.\n\nThe three ways are: trapped, transactional, and transformational.\n\nTrapped is always blaming themselves and their circumstances. They play the victim. They can\u2019t actually do things they want because of their circumstances. \u201cI can\u2019t afford it.\u201d\nThey often give up improvements on self and life for fleeting moments with vices and addictions. \nThink you\u2019re a bad person and not worthy\nWaste lots of time and money. \n\nTrapped can\u2019t outsource. \n\nNo direction. Just survival mode all the time, and usually totally unconscious of their thoughts, feelings, and actions creating their outcomes. \n\nBoth blow money on coffee, tobacco, alcohol, (others are endlessly consuming their equivalent in junk food) and entertainment. \nInteresting insight is that trapped people do a lot of shopping at gas stations, paying far too much for far too little \nManufacturers of trash food and trash entertainment aim at this demographic of people. \nThis isn\u2019t really income dependent. There are those who earn great salaries but blow it all in trapped living \n\nexperiences perpetual mental fog and confusion about life and what to do. Constantly talking, revisiting ideas and things they COULD do, but rarely experience real results \nMind is endlessly occupied with the transactions of life. \n\nTransactional person is all about comfort, supposed security and safety\u2014which is really an illusion. \n\n\u201cSecurity is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.\u201d\n\nUsually thinks they\u2019re not good enough. \nAlso can\u2019t really do the things they really would like to often because they continually trade what they want most with what they want at the moment, in comfort and convenience. \nIt\u2019s not that they cannot afford transformational experiences, it\u2019s that they won\u2019t. \nAdditionally, they choose the \u201csafer\u201d experiences instead of the transformational ones\n\nTransactional won\u2019t outsource, mostly because of the all consuming cost of their comforts AND because of false social ideas and the judgments of others about hiring help\n\nLack purpose, passion, and persistence \nLack clarity about who they are and the BIG picture of their life
