Strip everything away for a moment.
What’s left… is your real life.
Perhaps we share or don’t, but we all have multiple subjects, items, wants, needs & all the rest that we embrace for personal satisfactions. Your “life” list can be tangible, intangible, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual, psychological plus be real or fantasy, include others or exclude them. While we explore this subject, notice how some of this is kept secret perhaps because it is sacred or if uttered, we jinx it, or we risk disapproval & judgments, or it may not be attainable. Consider shining bright light on this subject for yourself & let others know you better called intimacy.
WORTHY NOTE: Being affectionate, loving & caring with another? Priceless. Send & receive this as the return for this exceeds words & deeply satisfies & nourishes
THE REAL
Let’s address what visits-flirts with us all, in common & general first via this list:
1. Fear of dying. We handle this by not talking about it, procrastinating & denials
2. Fear of living. Scarcity grips you, love is evasive, & hopelessness (no purpose)
3. Poverty. Either material i.e. scraping by, or spiritual, poverty of spirit & soul
4. Unworthiness. Not deserving anything life offers. You are not good enough
5. Ridicule. Severe disapproval driven by condemnation, shunning & dismissal
6. Being alone or lonely. You are not able to express, send or receive love
7. Wealth. You are convinced that money is needed for everything
8. Rejection. Scorn in droves by your circle of friends, family & co-workers
9. Not able to trust. Fear of being vulnerable to harm & not handling it either way
10. Past life haunting the present. Childhood mishaps that cause current chaos
The above is subjective, comes & goes, can visit in combinations, be cured, remedied, solved, death grip & rob us, & put us in an existence mode instead of living out the life given. You have the power not these things.
WORTHY NOTE: Lies, doubt, confusion & hesitation cannot exist without you, why allow them to exist with you? Reject them & something marvelous replaces them
THE IMAGINED
This can be anything ranging from having hope, beliefs, positive expectations & betterment to doubt, confusion, despair & giving up which happens when you quit anything. In essence, this imagined, false realty & defective thinking will have you, in a perverse way, drowning in your own dreams a nightmare in its true form
COMPLEXITY
When we over or under think, feel or react, we trigger doubt, no hope, confusion & hesitations making what is easy to solve & cure more difficult to do. We agreed with the dark forces pitching its lie instead of just watching it come & go. You need to adjust your compass headings, tweak your awareness & objectivity, & carpe diem or seize the day & your life! Where do you want to go? Then go there!
THE GLUE
Loving God (respecting life) & loving man (your fellow traveler), is the foundation necessary to build from. Compare it to a seed, buried, left alone, rains, wind, sun & the unknown visits, but doesn’t stop the seed from its business & purpose & in fact, the seed becomes stronger from the adversities demonstrating the victory lesson as it prevails, because it can. It’s grounded! (pun & LOL). How much more U
HANDLING WHAT MATTERS
We can approach this with deliberation, focus, finishing what we start, ambition, tunnel vision & even willfulness or we can learn the smarter approach i.e. to spend a little as we journey on what we respect to matter. Work the short & long term.
REMEMBER THE HOW
Did we lie to ourselves, cheat, steal, white lie to others, trick, rob, pounce, take advantage of or abuse anybody or thing to have what matters to us? If you did, you poisoned your own well. Instead of reward, satisfaction, rest, peace & closure, we triggered our conscience producing guilt instead, which cannot be placated or ignored less you compound your guilt. What really matters goes on indefinite hold
IF IT TRULY MATTERS TO YOU
It will be heart driven not ego or pride helping your vanity along. Our “matter” is to be respected, revered, treated special, silk gloved as a type of gentle calling out to or watering of what is to come making it a welcoming home & it returns the favor
WORTHY NOTE: During our brief voyage here, all things are allowed, obtainable & can be had for the asking, doing & getting. Invest in more non-material things too as the food for the worms (perishable) banquet, is already at all you can eat status.
MIND YOUR OWN MATTER
You will be tempted to create others in your own image as you think & believe your way to be superior or necessary for all others. If one takes the log out of their own eye, so be it. If not, you have work to do, people to see, & life still to accomplish
If this grounded you, share it.
Someone else needs this reminder.
