Looking around at our circumstances we may see only mountains of problems, debts piling up, fear, failure, and defeat at every corner. Maybe you've looked around and thought, where's
answer, I need a new life? Heart To Heart!
No one may be able to give you an easy answer for difficult circumstances, but there are some simple steps you can take today to neutralize
negative emotions that are making you stew in your own juice.
The most important thing to do is; stop looking at
wrong things. I didn't say they weren't there. But,
more we look at them,
bigger they get. The bigger they get in our minds,
more unsolvable they appear.
Time To Gird Up Your Loins!
I guarantee you,
more you think on a small problem,
bigger that sucker will get. You will be able to figure out more ways than Carter's got little liver pills for it not to work out. That tiny little molehill, in reality, will grow into a problem harder than Chinese algebra to solve.
How? Because our mind has an amazing ability to show us ten ways to one how something won't work, if it's in our best interest to work. Have you ever wondered where that little voice inside your head got all those smart answers it feeds to you?
Probably not; most of
time we don't give any thought to where those answers came from. Why? Because they came from inside our own head. So, we think they must be accurate; even when they have no basis or substance to them at all.
After all, we know more about our own life and circumstances than anyone else, right? We know better than anyone else how to fix whatever troubles us. Right? Yeah, right. But, for some reason or another, we can't figure this one out.
Heavens To Betsy!
Well, how did all this happen? We are looking at
wrong things. We're looking at
circumstances and
problems that surround us and then they begin to grow. The bigger a problem grows,
more ways our head will prove to us it can't be solved.
Let me tell you this as plainly and clear as I can: You will NEVER find your answer by looking at what's happening in your life right now. I.e.:
problem, trouble, or whatever.
Troubles don't have answers! They only intensify
kind of emotions that stir up more trouble. I'm not saying you can't learn anything from them. You will learn more from failure than from success.
It Goes Without Saying!
If you want to get yourself out of a bad situation, you must stop looking at
"bad situation". You must stop meditating on
problem. As long as you do that,
problem will create fear in you and
fear will keep you looking at
problem. Serious problems may exist in your life right now. Health problems, money problems, problems on top of problems, but, I can't stress enough that looking at them, and meditating on them will NOT make them go away or make you feel any better.
Know this! Problems and difficulties are all temporary. I know it seems like they are permanent, and at
moment, you think your goose is cooked, but, not so. If you are alive and reading this right now, then you have to admit that nothing you have gone through so far has killed you yet. Right? Say Yes!
Day In And Day Out!
Whatever it is, it will pass. Sooner or later. I know you want it sooner. But, I don't know of any super-duper instant cure that will do that. Everything in this physical world is temporary. Only things of
Spirit world are permanent.
