Suffering is a choice

Posted on by philipdodson

Whatever others choose to do it can only affect us if we choose it to.

Our mind and its stories about ‘little me’ and our ego are delicate fragile things that the mind will easily create a victim story from and then bring us pain and suffering. Once we energise it and give it attention, then the mind will drag us to the next thing.

If we choose to accept others and what is, then we will not become the victim. We can still verbalise outwardly our view, but without the pain and attachment to the victim story what we verbalise will be from a position of calm and peace.

Anger is driven from the sadness and pain that the ego creates. Once we become the story the mind will continue to bring more suffering. Often, it becomes so normal that we become the identity and the mind does everything then to keep that going as we feel it is who we are, we live the life of a victim.

Peace comes from acceptance and conscious awareness that what others do or say is not our business and we can only suffer if we allow ourselves to and identify with the stories in our mind.

Repeating every day

The universe created each and every one of us with a unique gift, talent, something special for us to share with the world and to bring light and joy to others to experience.

If at the end of each day we have just done the same as yesterday and the day before and so on, as in not shared our genius with the world, then every day we do that, we are staying stuck with our fears, with our mind, we are being sabotaged by the repeating thought patterns.

The flower or the butterfly do not withhold their beauty and joy they share it with all of us to experience. Nature gives every second of every day without hesitation or thought.

Our primary purpose is to be a conscious being and to experience all that the universe has to offer, and with that consciousness comes the freedom to allow our true inner being and genius to flow.

Let’s not extinguish our gift before we have a chance to let it shine for the world, leave our doubts, and live in this moment and shine. Otherwise, there is no point in repeating every day the same.
