You Can’t Self-Sabotage Forever.. Or You Can But It Will Be Sh*t

Self-sabotage has a sneaky way of creeping into our lives. It looks like procrastination, like downplaying your own achievements, like choosing comfort over growth even when you know better. It whispers, “not yet… maybe tomorrow” and convinces you that you’re safer staying small. Self-sabotage has a best friend called Imposter Syndrome, and they sit in the corner mocking you together!

You can’t self-sabotage forever.. or you can but the outcome is limiting you from living a life where you can thrive!

You can fight all you want, but what’s meant for you doesn’t just disappear because you hesitate. That dream, that pull, that inner nudge, it’s not an accident and I know you feel it. It’s alignment or in the words of Martha Beck ‘your North Star‘ trying to get your attention. You might push it away, ignore it, even run from it (the only time I consider myself an athlete), but it has a way of finding you again and again.

Think of it like waves on a shore. You can resist the tide, but eventually, it rises high enough to carry you forward whether you’re ready or not. I have this constant feeling that there is more… maybe it’s delusion, or maybe it’s the wind that keeps me sailing through. I’ve given up fighting it.

At some point, you’ll get tired of your own excuses or in my world my own bullshit. You’ll notice that the same patterns keep showing up, and it won’t be coincidence, it’ll be life nudging you toward the path you’re meant to walk. You can delay it, sure, but you can’t destroy it.

When something is truly aligned for you, it doesn’t vanish. The opportunity will circle back. The idea will keep tugging at you. The people you need will appear again in different forms. Alignment has a persistence that’s stronger than sabotage, and when you are aware of it, ask yourself why, what is this nudging me to do, and why am I resistant. What’s the worst that can happen?

So yes, you may stumble, self-sabotage, or take the long way around, but sooner or later, you’ll step into what’s yours. Not because you forced it, but because it was never not yours.

Maybe the real question isn’t “how do I stop sabotaging myself?” but “when will I finally allow myself to receive what’s already waiting?”

When that moment comes, where you’re ready, everything you thought you lost will be right there, waiting.
