So today I will reveal my final thoughts on this subject and gracefully move on. Another huge contributing factor of suffering is the common practice of lying to please others and ourselves, by means of defending and hiding characteristics that we hold of ourselves as being inappropriate or wrong. What feels at the time as just being a little white lie over a life time holds much more profound repercussions. Causing the mind to be out of alignment with who we truly are, as mentioned in yesterdays blog.
By lying to ourselves and others, we are jumping our own ship in a way; not loving ourselves. We spend a lifetime trying to mold, condition, align ourselves to gain acceptance from others. By nature this takes out the most important ingredient needed to achieve what we so disparately want, and that is our love consciousness for ones self. When we learn this about ourselves, this need to distract ourselves from the true person that we are falls away. This is why you hear so often people say you can't love someone else, before you start loving yourself first. In other words, you can't give what you don't already have currently in your own reality.
As stated in earlier blogs, YOU can only attract what you ARE. Once you have Honestly achieved this natural flow of respect and love towards yourself and others, you will find that all expectations placed outside of ourselves, and reasons we fell unfulfilled within our relationships - just disappears. Contentment with ones self is achieved with love of self, and romance is just an added bonus - not a necessity.
Lastly, when battling suffering is no longer the focus, the act of taking time to give of yourself becomes apparent. Once you have found love of self, the desire to share your new found experience is born. The true awareness of love naturally puts you in a state of giving, having the magnitude to reach above and beyond all differences.
Bottom line is, freedom from our addiction to suffering is conquered by our ability to shift our focus and perspective coming from a place of love then _______(insert your state of lack).

Picture yourself looking into a mirror...
Now reach deep inside that reflection to get in touch with what really makes up your image and how you see yourself. Then realize that YOU are an incredible being with purpose, and God given talents that ultimately define who you are, while creating a live of joy which fills your wallets at the same time!
We were not born to SUFFER! God did not intend for us to spend most of our waking hours at jobs that keep us miserable, away from what matters most, our family performing job functions that's not aligned with YOUR purpose. He gave us a powerful mind with beautiful gifts to live and create a life of bliss. However, we have been conditioned from birth to follow everyone else steps to success, or blue print for life, rather then following and developing our OWN!
Our world is out of alignment from what was intended, due to many factors but none that are out of our own control, or circumstance. We have to take control of this ship before it sinks. I will stop here as I have completely gone off in another direction, which I will save for another day....
God Bless...
