Organic Identity Crisis

We all want to do our best in any given situation. We are all trying to make the most out of life. Sometimes, we get caught in a cycle that we cannot see as our own creation. Understanding that everything that is happening to you IS your creation is a bestselling novel. Understanding what to create and how yet alone why is the real challenge. Factor into this decision a family to support or dependent individuals who count on your actions for survival and it gets really interesting. In all cases, it is best to remember one fundamental rule.
There is always another way to look at something. There is always another perspective besides your own. As we begin to see how our emotions determine our perspective, we can then learn more about how our perspective determines our lives, or how we can enjoy them more.
Freedom is indeed a state of mind, not an actual state of being. Getting the two to mesh together is what seems to be on the minds of most individuals, in one way or another. The major difference between the truly free and the truly lost is one thing. One group truly believes that they are doing the right thing, and one group is lying to themselves.
Learning to trust our inner selves is a difficult prospect amid such a wealth of modern distraction. It has always been distracting in the world. Trying to see your distraction as being greater than someone else’s is a distraction in and of itself. First, we must concentrate on what we are seeing in our lives. Then, we need to start to really see how we truly are being. Honesty in this regard is really a noble pursuit. The more honest we are with ourselves, the more honest our perception will be.
At this point, we can learn to decipher what really is important from what is truly distracting. To begin with, anything that would take you away from a loving place is a distraction. Seeing all life as suffering is secondary, that life itself is a challenge, and we must seek to meet it with a positive attitude.
Easier said than done? My response to this would be that we are witnessing the results of disposing of this obligation. Wearing our Sunday best would be an everyday affair. Everyday should be Valentine’s Day, and the festival of lights should last all year. We should all be able to truly BE happiness, not simply schedule it into our lives as a respite.
We need to take the bacon off of the table everyday and put it back on the Sunday table. All of the things that were once occasional and celebratory have become everyday indulgences. Within all this replication, the original message of love within the recipe becomes diluted. Further from the truth.
This type of food is a distraction from the truth. No different from falling into the lie that your life is harder than anybody else’s. When we seek true food on our tables, we are putting truth into our bodies.
When we feed our souls nothing but lies, it becomes more than difficult to sort out distractions, in turn making a decision almost impossible. The truth has been diluted so gravely that we are left helplessly dependent upon labels, diets, fads, and trends.
The return to self will eradicate this dependency.
