What differentiates people who mostly enjoy life from people who mostly suffer in life?
Circumstances? No.
Opportunities they have in life? No.
Amount of money? No.
Single or in a relationship? No.
Level of education? No.
Status in life? No.
Their BELIEFS. YES.
What they choose to believe in differentiates them.
One believes "The world is mine." Another one believes "The world is against me.".
One believes "I'm a gift to this world." Another one believes "I'm not worthy or not enough."
One believes that by living their life authentically and honestly they support others to shine their light and live their life fully, another believes that they hurt others by being true. Hence one will express, another will suppress.
One believes that they are great as they are, others believe that they need to improve themselves.
Question your beliefs.
Every time you speak or think something, ask yourself "What If it can also be different?" or when you don't agree with someone, instead of resisting just relax and say "Why not?"
What if...?
Why not?
Develop this flexibility... Realize that you can choose any moment what you believe in.
People who mostly suffer are usually very rigid in their beliefs. They defend them as if it's themselves they are defending.
For me it's not even about having the right or wrong beliefs. It's about being flexible and seeing all these beliefs as nothing else than linguistic structures, which are neither true or false. They get power when we give them energy and meaning, and they shape our experience.
Waking up means seeing your beliefs structure for what it is and not confusing it with Truth.
The moment you start defending something, you are caught by one of your beliefs and you are deeply asleep.
Realize that this belief was shaped unconsciously one day in the past and became nothing else but a program in your subconscious mind, to which you got attached.
Beliefs don't attach to us, we attach to them. And therefore we are the ones who can let them go, change, create new ones, drop all together, have fun with them, etc.
Get out of the box. Have a good laugh.
You are infinitely bigger than the biggest and truest belief you have.
