Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 You need to know yourself and the type of mud you’ve been grown in. Think of this, most flowers need good muck to fertilize them so they bloom. The lotus grows in mud, the rose grows in bone meal and fertilizer. Even good crops are dependent on, how shall we put this, cow manure or horse manure that is aged and cured so it does not burn the roots of the plants. Odd - what gives life to beauty. Ah, yes, only then do the flowers bloom their brightest and the crops give forth their bounty. So, what type of muck have you been grown in? Knowing this allows you to know yourself and embrace your own true beauty. But even the most attractive flower doesn’t realize its own beauty. For the thing about beauty is that if something realizes its own attractiveness, then how attractive can it really be? Within modesty there is grace. Witness your feelings and behaviors, do not live within them. The best learning you can do is to learn from what you do and that is done by objectively witnessing your own actions. This is a lot to take in. You may read this one sentence, but if you get this one sentence, then you will have gotten the point of †" living well. Yes, this is a simple, but highly charged and challenging means to understanding yourself and getting past your own ego. The image of someone you carry now was constructed when you were a child and the concept of that image was predominately shaped during your developmental years. So, now we are getting more direct with your question. Behaviors and thoughts are learned and acquired. Addictions, like drug addictions, sexual addictions, alcohol consumption, speeding and anything that you turn to when you are faced with a crisis, or a personal challenge or even when you are afraid of something from this period of time and your life. Now, as an adult you have the ability to recognize this and use these ‘periods of living in muck’ to add a richness to your life and beauty by beginning to overcome those things that set you up for failure. Emotions are normal. It is good and healthy for you to feel a range of emotions. And more-so, it is vital to your wellness that you ask, inquire and question the issues you face in dealing with emotions. The human experience is very much about feelings.
