" Lately I suspect that I cause myself a lot of useless stress and sorrow, but I don't see how I'm doing it. Our lives are meant to be bright, noble, and ever ascending. This promise of our True Potential is made Good in us by the fulfillment of our Possibilities, and not through the interminable struggle of trying to do what is impossible. Most of our sorrows are the offspring of trying to be something we have no Real need to be, in trying to do what cannot, and need not, be doing. We unknowingly hurt ourselves. First, whenever we are goaded into attempting the impossible, we not only suffer defeat but we also strengthen the self that would have us believe it's possible to put out a fire with gasoline. Second, as we see the fact of these false workings in our mind and heart the only possible solution is to end our participation with their foolish guidance. In other words, our needless heartaches end as we see that the healing we hope for begins with letting go of our unseen relationship with those parts of ourselves responsible for our self-hurting. Look at the small places in our psychic lives where we are trying to do the impossible and where, as a result of our misunderstanding, we are still sowing and reaping the harvest of frustration and heartache.
It is impossible to see where you have made a mistakes, when your swimming in your own self-pity !!
It is impossible: To be carried to a secure and peaceful harbor, in your mind on a ship crafted by anxiety or fearful feelings.
It is impossible: To gain real happiness at the expense of the pain of someone else, or thinking they caused all your pain and you had nothing to do with it.
It is impossible :To raise your self-esteem yourself by pushing another person lower, in order to make you look better.
It is impossible : To let someone take advantage of you without living in secret fear of them, because you allowed them into your part life.
It is impossible: To realize Life as long as we remain filled with our own self-pity, and blame others for putting us there.
It is impossible: To rise above any fear or worry we have found to be buried somewhere in our own unsuspected misunderstanding thinking if we don't learn to reach down inside of us and pull it up and look at it, in therapy to learn how to throw it away and move on with out that pain.
It is impossible: To receive forgiveness in life from that someone, without having learned what it means to freely forgive the person who you feel cause you to feel pain and sadness..
It is impossible: To wish another person any kind of ill for any reason, and not be made to feel sick with in ourselves. Because we spent so much energy trying to hurt someone else we end up paying for in hurt and bitterness.
It is impossible: To hate what conditions in life we are giving by life it's self, Then wonder angrily at the same time why we can't learn from what happened."
