RE: Already Fighting Me

I tend to believe we keep making mistakes until we fully learn the lesson(s). My achilles heal was always placing too much trust in people and self-sacrifice, often at the expense of my own well-being. I never really thought of it as self-sabotage but there probably was an element of that in there somewhere. The common thread for me was it was usually people (women I dated, male friends, business partners) who had personality traits or achieved things in life I wished I had. I always tended to put the blinders on with these people and ignore red flags, in the end, I was always burned. The last time this happened (2019, with a business partner) I lost three years of work on screenplay development and had differed my salary for those years "for the good of the project" but it had the potential of being so much worse. I really felt like that was a last warning of sorts from the universe and I think I finally learned my lesson.
