“All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.”
-Gautama Buddha
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
Facing reality can be tricky. Especially when it is personal. We often ignore or run from the things that make us uncomfortable.
How happy have you been these days? Think about that for a moment...
Reading Iyanla Vanzant this morning lead me to some deep reflection. Vanzant shares:
The longer we resist facing whatever it is, the easier it is to forget that we are equipped to change it.
We forget we are equipped to change things If you don't like your situation become part of the solution.
What personal reality are you having difficulty facing? Be hones with yourself...
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could stop buying into your stories and face the truth?
What stories have you been telling yourself?
How would facing reality change things for you?
“There is only one sure way to escape from reality, and that is by facing it.”
-Marty Rubin
