I Wish I Knew Where...

The way you feel is common in those of us who always seem to be searching for answers that simply do not exist. I will ask if you are creative? Feeling like you must control every situation and avoiding confrontation at all cost? I only ask these questions because if you can idenitfy with what I am saying, then you can see that we are all interconnected and that your negative thoughts were mine as well. I always confused religion with my belief in God but I was so far off the mark it is not even funny. We are raised to believe things that are absolutely untrue but because we accepted it as our normal long ago we do not question it.

Do we really listen and observe, or do we defend and attack? Do we project our dissatisfaction with our lives onto others because it has to be someone's fault and it sure isn't ours. If everyone ois a mirror and what you see is a reflection of yourself then you have to stop and ask yourself, what is it you see.

I spent my life feeling out in the cold, not belonging and yet longing to be accepted and loved. I found out when I finally withdrew from the who said what about whom and who did this and that and why my ego thought it was always about me the strangest thing happened and I began to see that I could choose what I think about. I never knew I had a choice. What we choose to dwell on attracts like feelings and if your vibes are negative those are the people you will attract. You can choose to keep going around in circles or you can choose to stop the illusion of how we were taught to live and look inside yourself.

One day I threw my hands up and asked for help from a God I did not believe in and to my great surprise doors that I did not even know existed began to open and I was introduced to a whole new world where there was hope and happiness instead of darkness and despair. I started with "The Four Agreements", by Don Miguel Ruiz and it changed my life. It might change your thoughts as well if you want to give it a try.

Bless you,

I feel the same way. Your wise to come to the understanding that home is within,some people never figure this out. For me I started to find will say home with the simplistic although sometimes very hard lessons of self acceptance. Learning to appreciate and finally love all that i despised about myself,integrating the repressed characteristics into me to become whole. This feeling is also something very natural in these times,your not alone. Everybody where's masks and very few know who they truly are. So i Wish you many blessings on your path of self discovery.

Why dont u start to read religious book. And only once read "HOLLY QURAN" Just for knowledge. Dont take me wrong.

Those seem like good strategies to me, especially finding a place within yourself that you belong. Snail wisdom: carry your home on your back, and you're home no matter where you go!
