I know of a person that was given a nice opportunity to succeed,
professionally and academically. This person (not a client) blew it,
big time. And it really is a shame. Had he not reverted to or continued in
the tendencies and patterns of his upbringing (close family members
incarcerated, etc.), this opportunity would have improved
the quality of his life. What mitigates things, somewhat, is that he
can't possibly know the extent that subconscious patterns and programs
are impacting him. I don't know if he'd even considered the
need for subconscious change. So, if you've had the insight
and conditioning to break generational curses and other upbringing
limitations via hypnosis/NLP or other means, congratulations to you.
Not everyone is so fortunate.

Something was bothering me, a bit, about this post. Here's what it
is: there wasn't anything directly said about this person's conscious irresponsibility.
He knowingly did wrong. Ahhhh. :)

Sounds difficult, unconscious curses and conscious irresponsibility. A bad combo!! :p

One of the "generational curses" in my family is the weight issue, so you could say I've broken out of that one with the help of hypnosis and NLP. :)

Their are hundreds of success stories if you look for them, just as there are stories of failures.
Many years ago, I took a lady to the hospital to be checked for Cancer. She had been abandoned by her husband and left to bring up two daughters by herself. She could of course have gone for help to Welfare, and got support on the basis that she was deaf, and not likely to find employment that would allow her to do it alone. Instead she worked hard, and stayed independant. Now that is one hell of a lady in my books. Never did find out if she recovered, but I suspect she did, not even cancer could beat her pride in self or her love for her daughters.
I once knew a man who had lost his right arm. Instead of whinning about it, he got a job as a vacuum cleaner salesman, and did quite well. Others might easily have gone into depression and who's to blame them, but the cream will always rise to the top, and so do the best of us....
Daily I meet people living in adverse circumstances, and I constantly find them cheerfull. Strangely, I can't always say that for the healthy I meet...

I cried because I had no shoes, then met a man who had no feet.....

So I stole his shoes because, like, he didn't need them any more.:D
