SCRIPT CHECK · 60 SECONDS
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “I'm the lucky one - I have to prove that luck was worth it”, including the private rule underneath it: My survival is owed to their sacrifice, so I must achieve enough to justify that luck. If I rest or struggle, I'm squandering the opportunity they died for.
QUIET

Begin with one reversible receipt: Write down one thing you want to do but haven't because you felt it wasn't 'enough'—rest, a small pleasure, time with someone you love that won't look impressive. Do it this week. Notice that the world doesn't collapse. Afterward, write one sentence about what you actually got…
