The chances are, you would like to change something - or many things - in your life. You may know what these are, or you may have only a general feeling that something isn't right. Maybe you reason yourself out of those feelings with arguments like "why should i be different? We all know life isn't perfect. Look at the starving millions..." etc.
Most of us say these things. More often than not such arguments arise from our own feelings of unworthiness and guilt and fear of failure - and let's face it, our laziness! Before the first step on the road to the rest of your life, identify and clear away some of your own self-imposed obstacles.
Clearing the path
What stands in your way? To see where you're at on the "Should i?/Shouldn't i?" spectrum, ask yourself which, if any of the following statements you agree with.
1 It's greedy to want too much.
2 I should be thinking more about other people instead of wanting more for myself.
3 The fact is "Life's a bitch" - you can't change that!
4 Life isn't about enjoying yourself; it's about learning lessons
5 It isn't very spiritual to focus on what one wants
6 I'm not clever or talented enough to get what i want.
7 I'm not beautiful/handsome enough to get what i want.
8 I'm not rich enough to get what i want.
9 I don't have the time to work towards what i want.
10 I'm too lazy to get what i want
11 If i got what i wanted i might lose my friends and/or my familiars surroundings.
12 I just don't know how to get what i want.
13 I've always been thwarted in the past.
14 I just don't know what i want.
Now look at these 14 statements, which have you agree and not agree?
Next post we will be looking to see where these statements arise and why none of them are valid!
