Sabotage; if you look it up in a thesaurus, you’ll find: attack, block, bollix, break up, cripple, deep six, destroy, disable, disrupt, do in, foul up, frustrate, hamper, hinder, louse up, mess up, obstruct, put out of action, put out of commission, screw up, subvert, take out, throw a monkey wrench into, torpedo, undermine, vandalize, and wreck

As bad as that looks, sabotage is much much worse when you attach “self” to the front of it. Self-sabotage is as common the air we breathe. If you’ve never been the victim of self-sabotage, then you are in a huge amount of denial.

Our self-sabotage hides deep within our shadow, and like the infamous Mr. Hyde, bringing ruin to Dr. Jeykll, our personal Mr. Hyde will do anything to screw us over.

How do you kill your Mr. Hyde? The same way you overcome any problem; plan for it. When you are working on your goals never ever try to succeed without planning for the obstacles, and your personal Mr. Hyde is the biggest obstacle you have!

First you have to acknowledge and accept that your shadow exists. Become aware of your projections (often this is your Mr. Hyde aching to escape). Once you recognize this you can better plan for it. If you are on a diet, and you know your personal Mr. Hyde loves chocolate, then you can PLAN to stay away from the candy aisle when you are shopping. Oh, your Mr. Hyde will probably still find a way to get the better of you, but if you plan, he will be far less, and you’ll be much more likely to overcome him in the end.

It’s when we have no knowledge of our personal Mr. Hyde that trouble really starts. When it comes to violent crime, I wonder how many people would be of the opinion; “I just didn’t know I had it in me”, since many crimes are crimes of passion. Also, a larger number of violent crimes are being committed by children.
