This the Fifth Part in a series. If you haven't done so I would strongly suggest that you read the previous parts along with their comments... 1 - God And Wealth. What's The Connection Here? 2 - Stepping Further Into The Hornet's Nest... 3 - The Cursor's Flashing, Waiting For You To Mentally Login... 4 - How Can You Find Your Way In?
You may be wondering what feelings have to do with paying the bills...or leading a happy and successful life. Well, in a word - everything! The very essence of who were are, and how happy we are with who we are is based on how we FEEL about ourselves and our situation. How do YOU feel right now? I mean - when you strip away what you guess about what other people MAY think about you - how do YOU really feel about how you've got on so far in your life? Bet it's quite negative, right? It's quite difficult to see the fantastic, amazing, and wonderful positives in your life when there is even one, tiny, niggling, negative standing in front of them all. Why? Well...you're looking through a window. And that window is brown and dirty, and...no matter how much you try to clean it - you still can only see what IT allows you to see through the grime. What that window on YOUR world is letting you see most clearly are those things that you THINK drive who and what you are... - The weak points in your character. I think that you know what I mean. All of this chasing and comparing is driving us forward alright. But...to an entirely DIFFERENT destination than we, deep down, REALLY want! Ever get that empty feeling when you're at home alone for a few days without having spoken to your friends or family? You know - you've clicked through the TV channels, you've eaten all the chocolate, you've idly surfed your favorite websites. Yet - you STILL feel 'bored' because SOMETHING is missing. Then you get that voice in your head say - "I'm bored!" All the 'toys', clothes, and goodies will never be enough to make you feel really content. Sure...you may not be the sort of person who 'gets bored'...but in the end, I firmly believe that you'll drive yourself crazy if you lived alone with yourself long enough! But...what IS boredom? Why is it that thing that you so desperately wanted just yesterday in the store - doesn't 'do' much for you anymore? Anyway...you've just stumbled across something else to buy that seems much more exciting. Bet you've been there. Me...I was there just a couple of weeks ago! It's not whatever you acquire that makes you feel good - it's the FEELINGS that you get from getting it that gives you the buzz. It's almost as if you're missing out on something very important if you don't have it. Well...you ARE missing out if you don't get it. You're missing those FEELINGS of... - Satisfaction Which is why the lure of accumulating 'objects' is so great. Those feelings are very powerful ones indeed. Yet...they're clouding up your window. They're acting like wipers that are just moving the dirt across the window instead of cleaning it. No matter how many times you hear the swish-swish as those wipers desperately attempt to remove the dirt...you're still squinting, trying to see through to the other side. Yet...in the corner. Right there in the very bottom right-hand corner of your window. There's a little speck of glass that is almost glistening. It's as clear as day. You can't see it because you're too busy cursing your 'luck' that your window has become dirtier still. Yet...that little clear speck of window has always been there...waiting for you to notice it. Can you see it now? To be continued... Posted by vurnumg
