“Healthy shame is the psychological foundation of humility. It is the source of spirituality.”—John Bradshaw
Phase 1: Activation
The ease with which my friend makes money, talks about money and attracts money disturbs me. As if he knows something I don’t or cares about particulars way less than me. His ease with cash indicates a clear signal: my current mindset is stupid and harming me financially. Wrapped around complex ethics and unhealthy habits. I feel frozen with money. The shame is unbearable. And dealing drugs is not an option.
