The Challenge

Challenge: Your Identity is tied to the Fallacy


The challenge is that you do not believe me. You have been so brainwashed. The current fallacy is so much a part of how you construct your identity that my proposition threatens your core identity. As a matter of self-protection, you resist this new information. I present through this text an exercise in cognitive restructuring that offers a beginning to your reprogramming. I hope you will re-educate yourself and reclaim your power. Note that your resistance (be it anger, confusion, or uncertainty) is the residual inclination toward individual choice—the confirmation that you are not completely lost.

Recognize that this text is not a call to make me a king—to credit me with your re-education and reclamation. Granted, it is not about you, but it is your responsibility. It is your choice ultimately to live in the spirit of the power you were granted in the beginning. It is your responsibility to take your rightful place, to get the information first-hand, to stay in the race and endure. To succeed, you must be able to define roles for yourself, determine truth for yourself, and encourage yourself. This text will point out bread crumbs. It is up to you to choose the path. The single challenge of life is choice, summed up in 7 statements:

1. to manage my desire for purpose and order,

2. to take responsibility for my choices related to knowledge, role, and relationships,

3. to implement my personal choice in a way that encourages responsibility in others,

4. to become the leader of myself (a captain),

5. to inspire leadership in others (time-limited followers)

6. to live within the full potential of who I am, and

7. to achieve beyond what I have achieved.
