What happens when the only thing you have is your thoughts about everything you don't have?! Is resentment and jealousy the driving force behind loneliness and despair? What is the driving force behind happiness...LOVE. People say all the time "you have to love yourself before you can love others." Sometimes when we are loved, we learn how to love. Maybe the first step is becoming lovable.  If we are trustworthy, we are trusted which in return we learn how to trust. The earth is round and so is our journey...maybe some people see life's journey as a line of a start and an end point, but what if we end up right where we started? We are born into a place of openness and naive perspectives...we start this life with a deep breathe in as we open our eyes. In the end we leave this place with openness of the ever after and naive perspectives of what lies ahead...with one deep breath out and eyes closed. In the broader scheme of things we start with and inhale and end with an exhale...doesn't that insinuate that life is just ONE big breath with a journey full of personal experiences in between?! I feel as if life is about purpose and fulfillment. I'm not narrowing life down to just one single purpose and fulfillment, it can be filled with multiple, which is up to the individual. Life is exactly what we make it, we have no control over situations that happen, however we are a manifestation of our deepest desires and/or fears, whichever wolf you choose to feed. This isn't to say that individuals are doomed to one perspective, because life is about a journey of purpose and fulfillment...these perspectives can sway from one to another within a matter of moments, depending of course on how long an individual chooses to live within a particular situation. As individuals we have the power to adjust or reassign our perspective. If excitement and anxiousness are the same feeling, that has the same physical effects on our body than what makes them different? Our perception of the feeling is what makes it different, it's which we choose to give power to. Our thoughts control our mind's reaction to our physical feelings, perception changes the way we feel based on our thoughts. I feel as if the opposition of ignorance is enlightenment. Ignorance is stagnant is lies in between purpose and fulfillment, where as enlightenment brings knowledge and stimulates growth, growth is the final stage of fulfillment, after fulfillment comes new purpose. A relationship ceasing doesn't represent someones lack of self worth or inability to be loved, it represents the fulfillment of purpose because the maximum level of growth within that relationship has been reached, the sooner we embrace fulfillment and let go the sooner our new purpose can present itself, but ONLY with the conscious choice to let go can we than receive. Things cannot properly advance to the next step until we have completely lifted our foot off of the one beneath it. This journey is to bring us up to the highest point of life. When the highest point of life is reached we than have come back to the beginning of openness and naive perspectives.
