📘Thoughts from the book The Mountain Is You Brianna Wiest

The mountain that blocks our lives... is ourselves.

The big problems in life don't always come from the outside world.

It comes from the thoughts, fears and behaviors we create unconsciously.

🧠 1) We often "self-harm" unconsciously (Self-sabotage).

We are afraid of success, afraid of change.

Deep down, we want a better life.

Because the brain prefers "familiarity" to "authenticity."

🔍 2) Recurring problems are lessons that have not been solved.

If the same events, the same people still come to life.

It means we haven't really learned that lesson yet.

💔 3) The pain of not being listened to controls our lives.

The wounds of the past. If not accepted and understood.

It will come out in habits, decisions and relationships.

🊞 4) Stop blaming the world and look back at yourself.

The day life begins to change is the day we ask:

"What do I have to change?" instead of "Why does the world do this to me?"

ðŸŒą 5) Changing lives doesn't start with inspiration.

But from a small discipline that repeats every day.

🧭 6) You don't have to climb the mountain fast.

Just walk and don't stop.

âœĻ Summary of the core of the book.

If you feel like life is stuck, it's not because you're not good enough.

But because you still dare not face the "mountain in your own heart."

When we understand ourselves deep enough,

The mountain will gradually become smaller. ⛰ïļðŸ’›
