Choices

Our suffering is never caused by something outside of ourselves; we suffer because we think (unconsciously perhaps) that it is the only choice available to us. It is important to understand (and tell ourselves) that we can choose a different way of living (and dying) whenever we wish. But this can happen only when we acknowledge ourselves (the real us) to be powerful (empowered).

Our suffering is usually created by a feeling of being smothered by life (powerlessness/ helplessness), an inability to breathe life into our dreams (not having enough courage/ not believing in ourselves), the sorrows that we carry in our heart, and unmet expectations from others - including God (not giving ourselves the gift of fulfillment in every area of our life). All these create a belief that life is something to be endured, without being able to consciously change any part of it.

Our bodies mirror our beliefs, thoughts, perceptions and experiences. Any illness in our body (mind) is a symptom of our limiting beliefs.

We have many choices in each moment, but we usually do not see them, because of our conditioning/ beliefs.

Suffering is an option, but so is joy. Powerlessness is an option, but so is expansiveness (fulfillment). Let us choose what we wish to experience- in the here and now!
