The moment I realised I was fighting myself, not the world

The Moment I Realised I was Fighting Myself, Not the World

By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder, 818: Unlocking Your Life

For years, I thought the struggle was “out there”. Life was demanding, success required constant effort, and I needed to do more.

I kept pushing, striving, trying to prove my worth. But in a moment of clarity (read: “I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for so long!”), everything shifted.

This is what I suddenly realised:
-> The real fight wasn’t external—it was inside me.

I had believed that my value depended on what I achieved. This belief then fueled the fear that I wasn’t enough. Which then drove the need to seek approval to feel complete.

I finally saw the chain of false identity:

Limiting belief -> limiting thoughts -> limiting emotions (fears) -> self-sabotaging behaviour

Reset: Change the Concept of Yourself

The root cause of my problems was the false concept of myself = I am not valued or worthy unless I achieve.

That moment of understanding changed everything. Instead of battling harder, I simply changed my self-concept.

I let go of the old concept and now saw myself as valued and worthy without the need to prove anything.

-> And in that release, life stopped feeling like a fight. Instantly.

So now I help clients see this for themselves: that the biggest barriers often come from within. When you stop fighting yourself and embrace who you are, the path forward feels clearer, lighter, and more authentic.

If you’re tired of pushing and proving, start by doing the complimentary prep check (link below), the first step to reset your life.
