How to be satisified?

adapted

if you think you are unhappy, look at them

if you think your job is tough, how about him? if you think your salary is low, how about her? If you think you don't have many friends, ask yourself if you have one sincere friend. you think study is a burden, how about her? when you feel like giving up, think of this man if you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does? if you complaint about your transport system, how about them? if your society is unfair to you, how about her?

ng Light On Ourselves
Parts That Don't Want To Heal
In almost every
case, we know what is best for us in our lives, from the relationships we c
reate to the food we eat. Still, somewhat mysteriously, it is often difficu
lt to make the right choices for ourselves. We find ourselves hanging out w
ith someone who leaves us feeling drained or choosing to eat fast food over
a salad. We go through phases where we stop doing yoga or taking vitamins,
even though we feel so much better when we do. Often we have no idea why w
e continue to make the less enlightened choice, but it is important that we
inquire into ourselves to find out.

When we choose that which is not
best for us, the truth can be that there is a deep seated part of us that d
oes not want to heal. We may say it's because we don't have the time or
the energy or the resources, but the real truth is that when we don't ta
ke care of ourselves we are falling prey to self-sabotage. Self-sabotage ha
ppens unconsciously, which is why it's so difficult to see that we are do
ing it. The important thing to realize is that this very part of us that re
sists our healing is the part that most needs our attention and love. Even
as it appears to be working against us, if we can simply bring it into the
light of our consciousness, it can become our greatest ally. It carries the
information we need to move to the next level in our healing process.


When we recognize that we are not making healthy choices, we might even
say out loud, "I am not taking care of myself." Sometimes this is the jolt we need to wake up to what is actually happening. Next we can sit ourselves down in meditation, with a journal, or with a trusted friend to explore the matter more thoroughly. Just shining the light of our awareness on the source of our resistance is sometimes enough to dispel its power. At other times, further effort is required. Either way, we need not fear these parts that do not want to heal. We only need to take them under our wing and bring them with us into the light.
