WiseFool Workshops
All WiseFool workshops have only one purpose: Self-transformation. Oh no, not another self-improvement workshop, I can hear you mumble under your breath. Touché. Ok, so you and I know that America is obsessed with self-improvement. We Americans need another talk on self-improvement like we need another book on diet. In other words, we don’t. But if you noticed I never said my workshops were about “self improvement;” I said they were about “self transformation.” Self-transformation? That’s just new-age nonsense, right? It’s just ‘nother fancy term conjured up by the self-improvement industry to keep drumming into our heads that we’re not good enough…and that we’ll never be.
Well, this is where the WiseFool begs to differ from the norm. He argues that there something oddly paradoxical about self-transformation that few people talk about, and it’s this: Self-transformation requires self-acceptance. Total, complete, unconditional self-acceptance. Here, now, and “as is.’ But that makes no sense whatsoever, I can hear you scream. Because self-transformation is about “change” while self-acceptance is the exact opposite — “non-change.”
What gives?
Well, it’s a paradox; need we say any more? But let’s try and make sense of it.
First, people want to change because, well, they don’t like who and what they are. But oddly enough, BECAUSE we don’t like ourselves we continue to create/attract situations that give us even more reasons to not like ourselves. So why not nip it in the bud, and go ahead and like yourself “as is?” You don’t have to like the situation you’re in, but why should that keep you from liking yourself? Not liking ourselves because our situation sucks is just “learned behavior” — which can and must be unlearned.
What all the above means is this: You’re ready to change as soon as you can like yourself without any change. In other words, when you can like yourself “as is.” No ifs, ands or buts. This, of course, is easier said than done. Anyone can rush to change, but few can to stick around long enough to like themselves as they are.
In his transformational workshops, the WiseFool will give you reasons to like yourself even as he equips you with tools to create the changes you desire.
