Somewhere better

Posted on by philipdodson

The more we look for a better future the less we enjoy life. We become unhappy and discontented.

Future salvation is a trick of the ego and the mind, a way of stopping you from enjoying what you already have.

All that we need for a fulfiled and joyful life is with us when we are born and when we die, every single moment, we have all that we need.

When we stop looking to be somewhere better, suddenly what we have now becomes everything we need and we become grateful and appreciative. Anything else that comes is a bonus.

Dependency

Posted on by philipdodson

Dependency on others for our sense of worth, joy and fulfilment leads to resentment and a feeling of burden in them, and in us a feeling of disappointment when they are not satisfied by them.

Our fulfilment and joy are within. If we look inward instead of outward, we’ll find all that we need. We do not need others to be at peace, to have joy and to be fulfiled. That does not mean we do not want to spend time with others, it is simply removing the dependency element. True belonging is not about fitting in and relying on others, it is about being authentically ourselves and true.

Love being with others but do not depend on them, we’ll be happier and so will they.
