"I've got a serious knee problem. Can you help me?"
"Sure thing. Come in on Mon, Wed, and Fri at 8 in the morning."
"Oh no, I can't do that."
"Why?"
"I'm still sleeping at that time."
"Well then, you don't have a problem."
A sports rehabilitation specialist shared this story with us today.
It illustrates what I call an “unactualized request.”
A person deceives himself and others that he's suffering.
But he's unwilling to sacrifice anything for freedom:
lifestyle,
comfort,
resources,
sense of significance,
questioning false beliefs, and so on.
That's why the cost serves as a barrier against pseudo-problems.
Conversely, by giving up something valuable, a person will strive to gain much in return.
