KINDNESS TO THE SELF
The mind loves to play the game of duality by telling stories. Stories about people, places, and situations – never-ending stories. It must be noted that the stories are all about judgments and condemnation; therefore, creating a world of suffering.
Thoughts argue with reality thus creating war within oneself. When we start loving what is in front of us – our reality – the war is over. It is always stressful and difficult to compete with and compare our situations, or to belittle our actions by contemplating what we should or should not have done.
The mind brings in a lot of story-thoughts. The thoughts come and they go like the clouds on a clear sky. We are the sky on which the thought clouds pass. Yes, they pass away all of the time; however, it is always our choice to attach or not attach our emotions to them. It is always our choice to live in true freedom – the freedom to know that we are the sky that allows yet never needs to be involved. Freedom is giving the gift of KINDNESS to oneself; it means never allowing fear, anger, or sadness to cloud your life. It means to live life with total acceptance, flexibility, and without resistance. There is no success to be achieved, and there is no failure either; for whatever we are doing at this moment with total love and acceptance is Success.
