The only way to eliminate stress and pain is to stop doing the things
that create it
It is easy to see what others do to us while we forgot the drama
we create for ourselves
How?
Take your pick:
The need to be right
Lack of life purpose
How we think others see you
Trying to fix the world
Dishonesty with self and others
Accepting someone else’s truth
Seeking material wealth over spiritual values
Doing it alone
My way is the right way
Fear of the future
Negative thought patterns
Trying to prove yourself to others
Anger over the past
Telling other people what to do.
It all boils down to “not knowing who we are.”
