<Why Do We Struggle to Love Our Life?>
Why is it that we find it so difficult to love our own lives?
Somewhere deep inside, we are constantly comparing ourselves with others or with the flood of information that reaches our eyes, unconsciously measuring whether we are inadequate or, conversely, whether we are doing “just fine.”
Rather than simply directing our hearts toward what we can do today and what has already been given to us, we are remarkably skilled at identifying what our lives seem to lack—by vividly imagining the lives of those who have what we do not.
What I am consciously cleaning at this moment is the stream of information that reaches me—often uninvited—through social media and other channels. Whether in family interactions or my real estate work, it is difficult to completely separate myself from those influences, and I do not mean to say that social media itself is “bad.”
However, I can clean them. I consciously strive to stay in my own lane—my own field of being. For me, that means to clean.
When my attention is drawn to someone else’s message, I first return to my true self. As I observe whether my heart is being stirred by it, I simply clean what I am experiencing in that very moment. Through this process, we naturally begin to clean right where we are.
That is what protects the outline of your identity. When we are unprotected, including through our judgments, we become trapped. Yet when we live as the free identity we truly are, we can receive information as inspiration—as part of the universe—and return to a pure awareness that acts only in the present moment.
To connect with the Divine Presence, it is essential to dedicate our lives to “now.”
When we hear the phrase “spiritually right,” it might sound grand or distant. But in truth, there is always a path that is spiritually right for each of us.
Wiping up a spilled cup of coffee—and cleaning with that act.
Cleaning with a cup accidentally broken in the kitchen.
Making the effort to heal the part of our consciousness that feels hurt after a conversation on social media or with family.
Through these small, everyday choices, we correct past errors and release the debts that bind us—to ourselves and to all identities connected with us. That is the sacred path.
Now, in this new era—through media that show us politics, economics, gossip, health news, and more—what kinds of experiences are being created for you, and how do you respond to them?
In truth, we are already being given the opportunity to live as our true selves. The experience of feeling dissatisfied with life or unable to love it is not something bad. Through that experience, you are invited to choose how to return to your own path.
When you turn your awareness to that, you will no longer be swayed by others’ information, but will remember the sacred and unique path that belongs only to you.
