How to recognize you are addicted to the external...


What LYF 4U  does each week is based on love ....it is what I love to do...

Many of my clients present too hard on themselves;

It's never my place to tell someone they're "right" or "wrong ,

Isn't that what living/experiencing life is for..

Growth/fulfillment/connection/creation/visualization/purpose/inner peace..

Understanding that the outer world provides little contentment,

That being addicted to perfection, obsessive behaviours/habits that tend to be externally based will never satisfy that inner "itch " completely.

And that all  can be soooo tiring......

Who are you on your inside?

Have you stopped long enough to sit comfortably and observe inside there?

Or is it too hard?

Although doing good brings some external good it is deeper than that.

Yet

For those that feel that being kind hearted to people got you nothing but rejection and hurt, that's the inner you, that is not happy... you will never satisfy your inner core that way.  

Although

 If you are a thoughtful person who does nice things, don’t stop just because these people failed to see the good in you.

And for those of you who may think that 1 wrong determines your life, think again..

It's simply life teaching you..no more no less...my core fulfillment is low...which can be resolved.

So

Cut yourself some slack,

We ALL make mis- takes...it's called growing.

(I know I fell off my life bike a few times...until I learnt HOW to ride it peacefully/easily.)

And yes you may have made a few mis-takes along your way..

And that was/is more than OK..

Yet you get back up..even if it hurts.

MAREES QUOTE:

Don't be afraid your life will end; Be afraid that it will never begin (Grace Hansen) 

You seek that which you cannot see, yet oh do you yearn for it.

MAREES WORD:

Love is an intense feeling of deep affection/connection to that which you are drawn to....Felt inside..in any or all aspects of your life. In mankind/animals/activities of all natures.


Because you want to feel good inside. 

The love you give, seek, share is in everything you do, say, feel.  

No one will stand up at your eulogy and exclaim how big your house is, or how tidy your kitchen was.....

So maybe with some self reflection and kindness you can recognize that life's for loving and learning, growing and giving; 

And that death of a past, the death of self berating, or even death of the physical self is for knowing that you are loved.

No matter what the circumstances .

Let's be kind out there folks.

Lets love life from the inside outwards...
