Are you willing to give up your story of struggle?

When talking about being the creators of our life, we talk about our "stories". 

Stories are a sequence of thoughts that we convince ourselves are real. A story may be about the past, the present or the future. It may be about things we should do, what can be, what they could do, or what they are.

Stories are untested, non-investigated theories that tell us what things mean. The problem is we don't seem to realize most of our stories are just assumptions.

I personally have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought or fear.

Rather than understand the original cause, we try to change our stressful feelings by looking outside of ourselves. It is easy to get swept away by some overwhelming feeling so it is helpful to remember that any stressful feeling is like a compassionate messenger that says - "you are caught up in your story".

Depression, pain, fear, doubt and worry are gifts that say "take a look at what you are thinking right now. You're living in a story that is not true for you. When we get caught in the illusion, we try to alter the stressful feeling rather than deal with the thought behind it. That's why I say that any negative emotion is an alarm clock that is designed to wake you up to the fact that there's a thought that you may want to investigate and get rid of. Inquiry and investigation of any thought that is untrue will always lead you back to happiness and who you really are.

It is simple logic. Before the thought you were not suffering. With the thought you are suffering. When you recognize the thought isn't true, you will go back to not suffering and return to happiness.

Self inquiry is the way to end all suffering and to experience peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, self inquiry is about realizing that all the answers you will ever need are inside of you and are always available to you if you are willing to give up your story.

Feeling trapped, stuck and helpless? Need the courage to make some life changes? Eager to follow your dreams before it’s too late?
