You vs You | Friday Rant with Austin Linney | Construct your life #745
Episode Summary:
Welcome back! Today, I want to explore the importance of creating space for yourself and releasing the hidden baggage that holds you back. Most of us are unknowingly living in patterns shaped by decades of subconscious trauma—the hurtful words, judgments, and stories we’ve taken on as our own. I emphasize that the real battle isn’t with the world or other people; it’s with ourselves.
When you understand that the comments and beliefs that have shaped you are often not even about you, but about the other person’s pain, you begin to heal. The key is to give yourself grace, put down the armor, and stop fighting the stories that no longer serve you.
Key Highlights:
- The Person You Speak to the Most: It’s often ourselves, and the words we tell ourselves are the most damaging.
- External Words Are Just Stories: Comments from others are usually rooted in their pain, and taking them personally is a way we carry their hurt as our own.
- Subconscious Patterns: Decades of hidden beliefs shape our reactions, and these only surface when we bring them to light.
- The Power of Grace: Giving grace to others—and to yourself—allows you to release the baggage and rewrite your story.
- The True Battle: The biggest struggle is you versus you. When you let go of past hurts and false identities, real movement begins.
Final Message:
The stories we tell ourselves about who we are are not written in stone—they are shaped by the beliefs we hold. Let go of old wounds, drop your swords, and realize that you are not defined by the words or judgments of others. Your true power lies in how you see yourself.
