3 Steps to Get Disillusioned With Life And Be Awaken In Life.
Let me ask you a question…
How can you know that you are really awake…
…or living in a dream of life but you didn’t know?
The truth is, we are all living in our own illusion.
The only way to be awaken is to get disillusioned with life.

This is not talking about the disappointments we experienced in our life, though sometimes we do experience disillusionment through disappointments…
…and to realize that our world are literally created by our own thoughts.
My first experience of disillusionment with life was literally in this situation…
When I was still a financial planner in 2012, I was really really getting tired with the mode of the business…
Team meeting at 7:30 am from Monday to Saturday…
Meeting till 11:00 am, and appointments with prospects and clients all day long until late night…
Horribly, every night at 11:00 pm, phone reporting daily activities to my supervisor…
And I had been living with this schedule for 3 years straight.
I was totally exhausted with this lifestyle!(Though there was no ‘Style’ in it)
Until one afternoon, I was feeling really sick and tired of all those unnecessary meetings, I felt like I needed some air…
I sat on a bench in a recreational park, looking at the sunshine, trees, butterflies and flying birds…
And I started ‘THINKING’.
If a bird has its Freedom to go to wherever it wants, what does it mean that if I cannot?
Does it mean that I even have less freedom and rights than a bird?
Or just, I choose not to have it by some reason…?
So what is the meaning of being a human being?
My mind kept questioning myself… Is this the kind of life I am looking for when I first got into this Financial Planning business?
If not, then what was I doing in that 3 years??
All those hard works, challenges and sacrifices…
… were all meaningless and based on a false dream.
This was the first time My mind got Disillusioned from my old vision, the blind spot that I had never looked into…
You see, having a business is good, but if you run your business not in the way you feel most comfortable with… it ain’t a good business for you.
So, this is my story of being disillusioned with life.
Why You Should Get Disillusioned With Your Own Life?
After that, I ran into different books and studies of personal development programs, theories…
I found that most people are living in their illusion of reality.
People tends to believe in what most people say, but not what they have already experienced.
Even sometimes, or most of the time, they would interpret their experience into some other things they believed in.
I have a very interesting real example for you…
I have a friend. He had never been in a relationship with a girl in his first 30 years of life. (As I’m not sure if he had any relationship with man…lol)
He thought he couldn’t get a girl because…
…he is not attractive…
…he is not rich…
…he is not tall enough…
…he is not handsome…
…he is not smart enough…
Or… he thought he had to find someone he really love to start his first love…(Serious illusion ever!)
Even there were some nice girls tried to approach him, he thought they were just not for him.
So basically, he had never tried to really get a girl in his life.
However, in the year of 30, while all of his friends(including myself) had given up helping on this stuff, he finally got sick and tired of this situation…
He just thought to himself, “I have to do something!”
So, he made a decision to pick a girl who had a little interest into him and asked her out.
A few dates later, he was officially ‘in a relationship’…
…though they broke up a month later, because he found that she was not the girl he had been looking for.
But then, his life was like disillusioned.
He now has a recognition that he have the ability to get a girl.
He now knows that girls like him wouldn’t be because he is good looking, rich or smart…
Girls like him because he is humble, kind and full of strange and funny ideas in his head.
Though he has not yet found the true love of his life, he was like changing girlfriend every 1 or 2 months…
…at least he is now disillusioned with life and got balls to make a girlfriend.
With that being said, if you want to change your life, you should get disillusioned with life.
3 Steps To Achieve Disillusionment With Life
I found that there are always chances for us to have disillusionment with life in those aspects that we are struggling with.
With that being said, to get disillusioned with life, you can first find which part of your life is stuck, getting worse or not feeling happy with.
The second step is, ask yourself the question, “Why am I doing this?” or “Why do I want to do this?”
God! So many people don’t know why they are doing what they are doing!!
If you can’t find a reason for yourself, please, stop doing it for your own sakes!!
It’s time to wake up!!
Let me tell you what is happening in my city…
There are so many people in Hong Kong are urging to buy a house no matter how expensive it is…
And the matter of fact is, the faster the properties prices rise, the more people urge to buy…
…because they think the price will only rise up and up again…
…because they think that they must have a house…
…because they think they have nowhere to go other than this tiny little city, so they have to buy a house so that they can grow old and die here…
But actually, they never really THINK.
They don’t even know why they have to do this.
So, when you ask yourself ‘WHY’, it can probably disillusion 80% of your illusions in your life.
And the third step, can literally help us to disillusion the rest of the 20%…
Asking the question “Other than do it in this way, is there any other way I can do to get the highest leveraged result?”
Or, “Other than thinking in this way, is there any other way I can think to feel happier than before?”
Most of the time we got stuck in our life, not because we don’t know the better way nor we don’t have the ability to do it in a better way…
…we just simply don’t do it and so we stuck.
But magically, every time when you can ask yourself this question, you are deliberately directing your own thoughts.
Your brain will inevitably find the resource inside of you to answer the question. (And sometimes we can receive information out of our knowledge which we usually call — Inspiration.)
The matter of fact is, our brain is powerful for us, only if we can disillusioned from the surrounding and focus on a sharp intention.
And these are the 3 steps to get disillusioned with life.
So… Why Am I Writing This…?
I have a clear WHY here.
I believe that emotional freedom is correlated to financial freedom and life freedom.
I am writing spiritual topics like this to give values to people, and at the same time…
…I believe the business I’m doing is one of many good ways to help people to break FREE in their life and to obtain your own abundance.
