#11 Self-pity or Self-care
Calling out for redemption, what is this telling you?
Oh dear Lord! How much more?
I can't take it anymore! I had enough of this!
When you're finding
yourself in a repetitive situation of suffering and pain you end up really having
enough of it. You are so fed up and you want out. You are close to yet another
breaking point and this time you (finally) really want to do something about it.
You want to permanently free yourself from this recuring pattern which keeps you spinning in endless vicious circles of suffering.
What to do?
Have a good look in the mirror. There you will see the one and only person who can truly change it all. For continuing on auto-repeat will only make you suffer more. Without new input you cannot change your habitual patterns which are the ones leading you to your repetitive actions with similar outcomes. The point of it all is to arrive at that moment in life where you are finally ready to do something about it.
…
It's a choice of your free will to want to do something about it, or not. Only
when pain and discomfort have sufficiently increased, are we ready. Ready for
the deep dive into silence, the way inward. A real adventure for anyone who
wants to free oneself. An exciting journey into the unknown. But even if you
don't know what to expect, you can feel it's time. The pull of the Higher Plan
is tangible and to answer that calling, you feel you have to dive. (An exert from
the book, Our True Power, chapter 2.)…
When pain and suffering have reached their highest peak, you finally are prepared to learn and leave the path of Self-pity to embark on a path of Self-care.
So ask yourself, have I suffered enough? Am I finally done with feeling sorry for myself? Am I now ready to take responsibility and to look at my personal input which is creating my circumstances?
Those of us who can acknowledge there is a personal involvement to our suffering, can open up to look at the dynamics which are indeed creating these situations and experiences.
As long as you wallow in Self-pity you are far from ready to do something about it. But as soon as you're done, you're ready to have a clear honest look at all factors involved. You will start to understand the action-reaction dynamics in the recuring experiences.
That's the point you need to reach to switch direction and start proper Self-care.
Let it be clear, once again, that only you can define whether it is that time.
