People with trauma, those who are internally chaotic and lack a sense of security, are unable to earn money well or achieve self-improvement. Even if they have great ambitions, they cannot take action, constantly procrastinate, and ultimately give up on their plans. This is because psychology reveals a cruel fact: trauma destroys a person's ability to execute. You're not truly lazy; rather, your brain has been in a long-term defense mode. Under this mode, your primary task is survival, not development. Anything that requires sustained effort and delayed rewards—such as making money, starting a business, learning, or even fitness—will be perceived by your brain as dangerous and unsafe. As a result, many people think a lot but are hesitant to start, expecting to succeed immediately and see instant results. When they encounter even a little setback, they tend to deny everything. Your procrastination isn't because you're truly unprepared; it's because you're too afraid of failure.



Being overly afraid of failure will trigger your trauma once again. The problem is that when you desperately want to succeed and prove yourself, even a small setback in reality can cause your system to collapse completely, making you increasingly afraid to start over. Those who can truly focus on their work and grow continuously are not necessarily because they are talented or capable, but because their inner state is safe. A sense of security isn't something you can simply understand; it is built gradually through small, consistent actions. So try setting small goals for yourself, completing them step by step, and gradually let your brain feel safe. When your inner world is stable, your ability to act will keep pace.
