The problem

Countless times, we’ve joined forces to build something great—a relationship, a team, a project, a company. It was supposed to be extraordinary! And yet, it turned out to be business as usual.

But why?

1. Hope

In the beginning, there was an idea—some had a great vision. People joined, and action ensued. Strategy and hope emerged. There was trust and confidence, commitment and enthusiasm—divine emotions! Naturally, everyone had great expectations.

2. Everyday Reality

But soon, cracks began to appear. Secrets emerged, gossip spread, feelings were hurt, trust was broken, and promises were unfulfilled.

3. Conflict

The atmosphere turned tense. Problems surfaced and escalated. A subtle conflict brewed, eventually erupting into open confrontation.

4. Damage

How did it end? Who emerged victorious? Who suffered defeat? Did someone walk away? Regardless, damage was done.

5. The Price of Compromise

Even in compromise, a bitter taste lingered. Confidence, enthusiasm, and trust evaporated.

6. The Essence of Illusion

But everyone had good intentions… It was supposed to be great. And yet, the outcome was “business as usual” or worse.

7. Wrong Questions

Why do things go wrong? Does it have to be this way? How can Murphy’s Law be circumvented? There must be a way!

8. Another Cycle Begins

So, you keep trying to build another project or relationship, hoping that one day you will finally succeed and break free.

But from what? You don’t know.

Yet, you must keep going. But why, and where are you going?

You don’t know. 

9. Your identity creates your reality!

People who live from the level of the false self remain trapped in a cage of mediocre relationships—dominated by control, fear, and unwanted compromises. There is only one way to break free from this humiliating reality: you must build your real self. This is something the world does not understand.

Take notice—remaining in that cage during the Apocalypse is slow-motion suicide.

What ordinary people struggle to fix, we transcend. This is the Identity Game.
