Most people want to change something about themselves. Whether it's something that has to do with their health, their wealth, or their relationships, there always seems to be something wrong with everyone (I do include myself in this critique, by the way).
There is a very tiny, minuscule, infinitesimally small portion of the population throughout history that has realized that everything in the universe is perfect and exactly as it should be in every single moment... yes, even that rude woman who cut you off, and even that cat who comes and shits in your flowerbed.
You would not be the person you are right now without all of those experiences... good or bad. And those experiences have led you here. To the place where you now have the desire to change for the better.
Face it, if you feel comfortable, you want to stay were you are. We need pain to push us forward. And it comes in different ways.
There is the physical discomfort of being unhealthy or fighting disease. There is the psychological pain of having a body that is perceived as being ugly. There is the suffering of wanting something and being incapable of having it, or losing it. I could go on, and on.
So what now? You feel the pain, and it sucks. You don't want to feel the pain anymore. So what can you do?
Well, there are two options:
1. Resort to drugs or alcohol or any other substance or activity (like losing yourself playing games online, or shopping, or training, ect.) to try to take your mind off the pain or numb it.
2. Face it head on and figure out what you can do to improve your situation and move forward towards the ideal that you dream of.
Class, can anyone tell me which one of those two options will be better for you in the course of your life? Wow, look at all those hands up in the air! It seems that everyone knows the answer to this one!
But if everyone knows the answer, why are there still so many who live with this constant pain?
It might have something to do with fear.
To Be Continued...
