Possessed – MBM: Mind Bullet Monday » The Habit Mastery Workshop
“At the highest level, you don’t pursue the goal; you embody it.”
In Season 6, Episode 49, we explored Obsessed—what I framed as Desire Level 10.0.
Upon further reflection, I recognize that was incorrect.
To be obsessed with a goal is a very high-level desire, but there’s a higher level.
Possessed.
When we think of obsession, we often picture someone deeply fixated on a goal, fully immersed, operating at a level of focus that few understand.
But there’s still a degree of self-awareness in obsession. The person is aware they are obsessed.
Possession is different.
The separation between you and your mission becomes nearly indistinguishable at this level.
The idea owns you.
It consumes you. It drives your actions intuitively—with little conscious effort.
Key Distinctions Between Obsessed and Possessed
Obsessed = Intensity Level 10.0 → High desire, relentless pursuit.
Possessed = Beyond 10.0 → You are compelled. It’s no longer a choice.
Deadline + Pressure + Maximum Intensity = Possessed → External forces fuel internal drive until you must act.
In The Pressure Paradox™, we explore how pressure favorably channels energy and fosters focus.
At its peak, pressure eliminates hesitation and forces action.
To be possessed is when pressure fuses with identity—you’re no longer chasing a goal; you become one with the goal.
"A man possessed by his goal does not doubt or hesitate—he moves with a confidence that even surprises himself."
Questions to consider:
What happens when hesitation disappears, and all that remains is action?
