Our species thinks. Our species feels. Our species intellectualizes. Is this real? No! In the context of this piece it isn’t real! What we experience might not be real! How come?

First consider this. What is the likely foundation of our thinking, our feeling, our intellectualizing? Each one of us can be at the core or the source or the cause of our lives – if we choose to. Our reality is likely based on a figment of our imagination. It is based on a false truth. Thus our lives are likely based on a false truth.

Getting beyond the thinking and the feeling is likely to result in us having fun while overcoming something we’re not good at that we’d like to learn. Or even while journeying down new avenues in our life and encountering hurdles. If you do not succeed getting beyond thinking and feeling you’re NOT a failure, it’s just that you’re now required to look at life differently and you’re not able to do so as yet.

As a result of us not participating in our own lives, because of the fear of failure, we get into habits that aren’t helpful in our lives. You know what habits you have.

As when a baby learns to walk, the baby will fall. No good beating yourself up about it when you fall. Get up and attempt to walk again: recognizing that you didn’t fall because of [your equivalent of] being a failure: you merely fell, doing something you’d like to do, but don’t yet know how to.

Giving up on ourselves because [our equivalent of] being a failure is too heavy to bear; that’s an unfortunate direction we tend to take. When we’re going for what we want, but struggle to get it right, we need to be willing to be exposed. Be willing to make fools of ourselves. Be willing to have fun with our struggle: thus where people laugh at us but we still persevere, even laughing at ourselves: then we’re being real.

And we even beat ourselves up for what we might have done in the past – that feeds right into us feeling [the equivalent of] being a failure.

Unfortunately, another occurrence materializes. We start believing the ailment is real and of course it is real, but not of its own accord. We gave it life. We created it, thus we can uncreate it. In the reverse. WE CAN TAKE THE POWER AWAY FROM IT.

We might struggle to uncreate [our equivalent belief of] being a failure. Seeing it as learning something new and not succeeding at first, takes away the weight we put on ourselves.

We’re always going to have unmet expectations. Things aren’t going to go our way all the time or even most of the time. It is how we deal with those expectations that will determine the quality of our life. If unmet expectations make us feel like [or, our equivalent of] a failure, then our quality of life is in danger. Or we can see the origin and get beyond the thinking and feeling and intellectualizing, and become real.
