ABE-Making Peace with the Jonah Complex



A-B-E
ABE is the nickname for Abraham, a fitting the acronym to make peace with the "Jonah Complex".
  
A - awareness of how you judge the way other people enjoy their fabulousness. This step can help you become aware of how you judge your own potential to greatness.

B-Values - Metaneeds are the food for the Self-Actualizer's Soul.  The "Jonah Complex is at the total opposite of the psychopathology idea of Narcissism. Make these metaneeds a part of your life. These values will help you stay grounded and have healthy narcissism and develop self-compassion.
    • Truth
    • Goodness
    • Beauty
    • Wholeness, Unity, & Transcendence of Opposites
    • Aliveness
    • Uniqueness
    • Perfection & Necessity 
    • Completion
    • Justice & Order
    • Simplicity
    • Richness
    • Effortlessness
    • Playfulness
    • Self-Sufficiency
    • Meaningfulness

E- embrace that the "Jonah Complex" is a part of you, do not resist it.  Embrace the positive aspects of what you are capable of achieving.  For example, if power scares you, but the people you can help with power is a positive aspect of what you like about power, focus on how you can use power for the greater good of helping people.
