Life is a balanced system of learning and evolution. Whether pleasure or pain; every situation in your life serves a purpose. It is up to us to recognize what that purpose could be.

We shrink ourselves to fit into places we’ve outgrown. Then we find ways to anesthetize the pain and discomfort. Stop spiritually and emotionally starving yourself. Let go. Move on. Grow.

Our thoughts and desires are based in hope, but our behaviors are based in fear. This misalignment often causes a feeling of hopelessness and continues the cycle of feeding outdated ideologies and Guru genres offering gimmicks to anesthetize the pain.

Sometimes you cry about things you thought you were over. That’s normal. Healing doesn’t follow a checklist; it’s a process. You’re not a robot. Trauma embeds itself into the genetic fiber of our being. So allow for little pockets of grief… even from things you’re healed from.

The path to misery is paved by the tears of those trying to make others happy.

It's a cycle... Religion is a source of relief for those who seek to anesthetize the pain that comes from following its beliefs.

Just because your pain is understandable, doesn't mean your behavior is acceptable.

I feel like when I give trust that isn't earned, I receive hurt that isn't deserved.

Bitterness and resentment are a bottomless well. They can only be healed by the phenomenon of someone else's sorrow rising to your level of pain... it never happens - save yourself endless hurt.
