BARRIERS TO SUCCESSFUL LIVING
Here are four great barriers to successful living
-- desire, aversion, boredom and doubt; which ones may be keeping you
from living better?
Desire is a powerful emotional
demand. When we can’t immediately get what we desire, energy is wasted on
feeling bad instead of doing something to feel good about. To live more
successfully, don’t strain for what’s out of reach. Instead, live with greater
ease exploring opportunities life naturally brings you and patiently move
toward your goals.
Aversion is a form of rejection. As
long as aversion is in force, doors to new possibilities, experiences and
learning remain closed. To live more successfully, be open and accepting of
things that you normally reject; try new things and expand your comfort
zone!
Boredom (and mental dullness) is
often a psychological withdrawal to avoid effort. It
suppresses one’s flow of energy, feelings, involvement, and the ability to
fully enjoy life. To live more
successfully, put extra effort into meeting life’s challenges and learn all you
can from others and each situation; replace boredom with the fun of playfully
and creatively exploring what’s at hand.
Doubt is an immobilizing
negative belief. It keeps us from taking positive action and
achieving more than we might expect. To
live more successfully, replace doubt with inquiry, testing and discovering
what’s true.
As we keep desire, aversion, boredom and doubt
from controlling what we can or can’t do, we expand our
possibility and power to live more successfully.
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
