The Secret They Don’t Want You to Know

They want you to die broke. There’s a scale called the Training Balance Scale that secret societies use to create billionaires. The ratio isn’t what you think. It’s 90-10. And they’ve been lying about which side gets the 90.

The Training Balance Scale has two sides. Left: thoughts, desires, dreams, goals, attitude—your why. Right: actions, techniques, strategies—your how. You’ve been told balance them equally. Fifty-fifty.

That’s the trap keeping 97% dying with under a thousand dollars. It’s why 99% die with desires unfulfilled.

Truth: your thinking is 90% of success. Action is 10%.

When millions manifest, when desires materialize, the force creating that is always your thoughts, never your techniques.

World War Two ends. Ships abandoned everywhere. Experts say those ships are worthless. Aristotle Onassis sees opportunity. War globalized the world. He buys the “worthless” ships.

Three years later: richest man alive. Same facts. Different thinking. He knew the real ratio.

Stop chasing how-to’s before MASTERING your mental state.

Weight your Training Balance Scale 90% toward thought. Action solves itself.

Ninety percent thought. Ten percent action. Freedom starts now.

The Lie That Made You a Slave

You’re a slave and don’t know it. Working fifty years for a paycheck isn’t freedom. The Training Balance Scale reveals exactly how they trapped you—ñ, and the exit is simpler than you think.

The Training Balance Scale has two sides: one holds your thoughts, desires, dreams, goals, attitude: your why. The other holds actions, techniques, strategies: your how.

The myth they sold you: balance both equally. Fifty-fifty. Work hard, learn skills, stay positive. That formula keeps 97% dying with under a thousand dollars. Ninety-nine percent die with desires locked inside, dreams never lived.

The secret: the Training Balance Scale isn’t balanced. Your thoughts and vibration are 90% of manifestation. Actions? Only 10%. When millions flow, when reality bends, the engine is always thought, never technique.

You’re not free spending life paying bills, barely covering mortgages, existing instead of living. That’s slavery with better marketing.

The Training Balance Scale shows the way: dominate the thought side at 90%. Master your desires, your mental processes, your vibration. The how handles itself.

You were never meant to balance equally. Ninety-ten sets you free.

YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED TO KEEP YOU SMALL

You’re not afraid of failure. You’re afraid of success. Notice the pattern: you sabotage the promotion, push away incredible people, derail your financial progress right when things start working.

This isn’t weakness. It’s your subconscious protecting an outdated identity.

At ten years old, you absorbed a message: “Don’t get too big for your britches. People like us don’t rise above our station.” Your child’s mind translated this into a survival rule: ambition equals abandonment.

Decades later, your résumé says “promote me” while your subconscious whispers “stay small or lose everything.” So you self destruct, not randomly, but precisely at the threshold where success would force you to become someone you were once forbidden to be.

Your subconscious doesn’t evaluate whether beliefs empower or destroy you. It defends whatever identity was installed, even if that identity is erasing your future.

This is why affirmations feel like lies. Why discipline crumbles. Why you repeat the same patterns.

Traditional therapy analyzes this endlessly. But insight doesn’t dismantle identity. New neural evidence does. We return to that ten year old, not to relive the moment, but to rewrite its meaning: “My growth doesn’t require their shrinking. I can rise and still be loved.”

The sabotage stops when the identity shifts.

You don’t need more strategy. You need to dismantle the identity keeping you trapped.

My dear friends,

As we step into this new year together, my heart is full of hope and gratitude for each of you. I pray that God will guide your steps, orient your path, and fill you with abundant wisdom in every decision you face.

May this year bring you closer to your dreams and deeper into His purpose for your life. Whatever challenges come your way, may you find strength in knowing that you are never alone.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5‑6)

Wishing you a blessed, joy-filled, and prosperous New Year!

With love and prayers

The 6-year-old inside you is still making your decisions, operating from programs installed before you could speak. During conception through age seven, your brain absorbed experiences in theta wave states—the same state as hypnosis—creating deep neural pathways that run your life outside conscious awareness. When you experienced criticism, conditional love, or unsafe environments, you didn’t analyze them—you encoded them as truth about yourself and the world. These aren’t thoughts you can simply think away; they’re installation codes in your operating system. The solution isn’t managing symptoms for years—it’s going directly to the subconscious to identify and rewrite the source code, replacing faulty instructions with new evidence and truth.

I can hardly believe she’s gone. Brigitte Bardot was more than just a screen icon to me. I loved and respected her so deeply, not just for the luminous beauty she brought to cinema, but for the incredible courage she showed in walking away from it all. At the height of her fame in 1973, when she could have continued riding that wave of adoration, she chose something far more meaningful. She devoted the rest of her life to protecting animals, to giving voice to creatures who had none.

Her work for harp seals will never be forgotten. When I think about those beautiful animals still swimming in Arctic waters today, I think of her. We owe their survival to her fierce determination and unwavering advocacy. She didn’t just talk about protecting them. She fought for them with everything she had.

Her name itself became something precious to me. There’s a music to it, a grace that mirrors the woman she was. It meant so much to me that when my daughter was born, I named her Brigitte. Every time I say my daughter’s name, I think of the woman who inspired it, a woman who showed us that real beauty lies in compassion, in standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.

Rest in peace, sweet princess. The world is dimmer without your light, but the legacy you left behind shines on in every animal you saved and every heart you touched.

I’ve been carrying this weight since it happened: those cruel words she threw at me, sharp and unwarranted, landing in places she must have known would hurt. When someone you love lashes out like that, it doesn’t just sting in the moment. It settles into you, makes you question things you thought were solid ground.

So when she arrived today with Christmas gifts wrapped in pretty paper, smiling as though nothing had happened, I felt this split inside myself. Part of me wanted to smooth it over, to accept the gesture and pretend the wound wasn’t there. That would have been easier. But there was another part, the part that knows love isn’t just about comfort and closeness, it’s also about truth and dignity, that knew I couldn’t let it pass.

I told her we needed to talk. I told her about boundaries, about how her words had cut me, about how even in anger or frustration or whatever drove her to speak that way, some lines shouldn’t be crossed. It didn’t sit well with her. I could see it in her face: that defensiveness, maybe embarrassment, maybe resentment that I was bringing shadow into what she’d hoped would be a moment of reconciliation through generosity.

But this is what you do when you love someone. You have these heart talks. You risk the discomfort, the tension, even the possibility that they’ll turn away, because the alternative is letting something fester between you until it becomes an invisible wall. Real intimacy isn’t just sharing joy and gifts and easy moments; it’s also being willing to say “you hurt me” and “this matters to me” and “we need to do better.”

I don’t know yet how this will settle between us. Maybe she’ll reflect and understand. Maybe it will take time. But I know I honored both her and myself by speaking up. Because love without boundaries isn’t really love; it’s just need dressed up as devotion. And I care about her too much to let us drift into that territory.

THE LIE YOUR 8-YEAR-OLD TOLD HERSELF IS RUNNING YOUR LIFE

Two sisters. Same nightmare childhood. Same rage-filled mother. Same scars.

One dissolves into chronic anxiety, convinced she’ll never be enough. The other becomes unstoppable, weaponizing that pain into relentless achievement.

Identical trauma. Opposite lives.

The difference? The meaning each child assigned to the same hell.

She walked into my office making six figures, substantial savings, career stability. And absolute terror every night that it would all vanish by morning. Financial therapy. Money mindset books. Advisors. Nothing touched the dread.

Because this wasn’t about money. This was about the conclusion an eight year old reached thirty years ago. Her father lost his job. Security evaporated overnight. She found her mother sobbing at the kitchen table: “I don’t know how we’re going to survive.”

That eight year old, watching her world collapse, made three conclusions that became her life sentence: Safety is a mirage. Everything I trust will betray me. I can never stop watching for disaster.

Thirty years later, no amount of wealth could override that eight year old’s verdict: catastrophe is always one breath away.

But here’s what shattered everything: We didn’t need to change what happened. We needed to change what it meant. Not by pretending the trauma wasn’t real. By showing her eight year old self what she couldn’t see through the terror: They survived. The disaster she expected never came. The fear was real. The ending she predicted wasn’t.

We gave her permission to write new meaning: “Crisis doesn’t define my capacity. My resilience does. Security lives in me, not in circumstances.”

Three weeks later, she slept through the night for the first time in decades.

Not because she learned financial strategies. Because we dismantled the meaning driving the fear.

Your suffering isn’t about what happened to you. It’s about the interpretation a younger, terrified version of you created with incomplete information and zero coping tools.

That child did the best she could with what she knew. But she didn’t know everything.

You do now.

You’re so good at this.

The smile. The confidence. The performance.

No one knows that last night you sat in your car in the garage for twenty minutes before you could go inside. That you rehearse conversations in the shower. That you check your email forty times before bed because if you miss something, everything falls apart.

They see success. You feel terror.

And the depression… it’s not crying in bed. It’s closing a deal and feeling absolutely nothing. It’s achieving everything you said you wanted and wondering why you’re still empty.

You think you don’t deserve help because you’re still functioning. Still performing. Still delivering.

But functioning isn’t living. And you know it. Because you can’t remember the last time you felt peace. Actual peace. Not controlled calm. Not managed anxiety. Peace.

Here’s what nobody tells you: Your anxiety isn’t protecting you. It’s exhausting you. Your perfectionism isn’t making you successful. It’s making you miserable. And the mask you wear so well is becoming your prison.

What if you could be ambitious without being terrified? What if you could succeed without suffering? What if you could finally stop running from yourself?

You can. But first you have to take off the armor. And that requires someone who can handle what’s underneath.

You’re not broken. You’re just running on empty, and it’s time to come home to yourself.

Burnout isn’t about working too hard. It’s about betraying yourself too long. Every ignored boundary, every silenced “no,” every time you chose survival over living. Your body kept score.

The good news? That person you used to be is still there, waiting for you to remember that you’re human, not a machine.

Ready to rebuild the relationship between who you are and what you do?

Your Brain Wasn’t Built for Yearly Goals! Here’s What Actually Works:

You’re exhausted chasing twelve-month goals while your brain is literally wired for weekly wins.

Harvard Business School found something game-changing: people who set smaller, frequent goals experienced 76% more motivation and finished projects 40% faster than those focused on annual targets.

Here’s the truth most miss: You can’t delegate until you examine. What actually consumed your hours this week? Not what you *meant* to do—what you *actually* did.

The breakthrough comes when you stop chasing ten goals and architect your week around ONE meaningful win. Stanford research shows this singular focus increases completion rates by 300%.

Most people drift through 52 weeks hoping for change. What if you engineered 52 consecutive victories instead?

Stop drifting. Start designing.
