The End Of The Chase
|
Hey friend, The freedom you’re seeking isn't ahead of you. It’s behind the illusion that something’s missing. High performers are masters of forward motion. That works, until it doesn’t. Until the very drive that got you “here” becomes the reason you can’t relax, can’t land, can’t stop. Because the chase doesn’t end when the result arrives. The Trap:Most personal development reinforces the chase. “If I just meditate more, reprogram deeper, visualize harder, go to a shaman in Peru… I’ll finally be at peace.” But here’s the contradiction no one wants to say out loud: This is the paradox that keeps most high performers stuck. The Neuroscience:The brain’s predictive machinery is designed to anticipate threats and solve problems. This is called the “hedonic treadmill.” If your identity is “the one who gets better,” you’ll need to stay broken. The Flip:But, what if there’s nothing to chase? What if the very urge to optimize, fix, or transcend or whatever… is itself the block? This is where understanding “oneness” throws a wrench in the whole game: There is no separate “you” who needs to become anything. You are not the story of improvement. The chase… it was just a habit. The Practice:Stop. Notice the movement of the mind: the next thing it wants to fix, upgrade, achieve. Now ask: Who is watching the chase? Not the character trying to arrive. Rest there. Stay empty. The Reflection Prompt:If I never changed another thing about myself… what would still be true? Your future self is not a project. It’s a phantom. The only “you” that’s real… is the one reading this sentence. Take a nice deep breath. You’ve already arrived. Nic PS. Want to better understand how to break these phantom loops?

Hey friend, Most high performers believe they’re driven by purpose. But often, what looks like motivation is just well-dressed fear. You wake up early.You attack your to-do list.You chase optimization, results, outcomes. And everyone applauds your “discipline.”But underneath that productivity? A quiet voice whispering: “If I slow down, it’ll all fall apart.” The truth is, what most people call motivation is just anxiety with better PR. Driven people often confuse tension for focus.They live...
Hey friend, The deeper you get into self-help, the more seductive the idea of “progress” becomes. But chasing it keeps you blind to what’s already here. Most high performers don’t just want to succeed, they want to take it to the next level - they want to transcend. So when they discover meditation, psychedelics, ospiritual teachings, they bring the same energy: “How do I go further?”“How do I stay in that state?”“What’s the next level of “awakening” or “enlightenment?” It’s no longer about...
Hey friend, Believing you’re a problem to be solved is the root of every problem you think you have. Let me explain. Most high performers carry a hidden belief that sounds noble: “I’m always improving… looking to become better.” It looks like discipline.It sounds like humility.It feels like progress. But underneath? It quietly whispers, “You’re not enough… yet.” This is the invisible engine behind the self-help industry. It’s why people can attend every retreat, read every book, run every...
