When talking through Mattson’s core concepts, Sweet touched on us needing to think through the real you versus the role you. We are all made up of two entities. One is our\u00a0 identity – our self-concept, our self-worth, our ego; the other is the roles we carry in life- our role as a husband, a father, a mother, a salesperson, a closer, a business owner, a prospector, etc. Without formal training, most of us do not know how to separate our identity from our roles. One reason for this difficulty is that from the time that we were born our parents, teachers, coaches and society told us that success in life is achieved by jumping a bar and success is maintained by continually raising that bar. We were taught to believe that success is measured externally by what society thinks of us, not internally about how we feel about ourselves. In other words, much of our growing up consisting of jumping a series of bars to prove we had worth.<\/p>\n
When we made a successful leap, we were then lead to believe we were worth more. On the contrary, when we failed, we got the under current message we were worth less, not as a role performer, as should have been, but as a human being. As time went on, we mistakenly accepted \u201crole\u201d failure as \u201cpersonal\u201d failure, or what we consider \u201cidentity\u201d failure. You see, society has taught us a very simple rule. Society says that how we perform in our roles should dictate how we feel about ourselves. <\/strong>And we can’t listen because we know that our identity is in the perfect and flawless Jesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When talking through Mattson’s core concepts, Sweet touched on us needing to think through the real you versus the role you.
