When did I: As a result of becoming more aware, I have started to see that I have at some point in the past, for some odd reason, decided that I couldn't do certain things, or be able to do, or achieve certain things in my life. In doing so, I have created a life that has always been less than desirable to me in many aspects. I have learned that all of the things I could ever want out of life is within my reach as long as I believe it is, and act accordingly, I can do, and be, what I want. So now I am changing my thought process to evolve better outcomes, by realizing every time I use words like I can't, or I don't know, and change them to I will learn, and I can figure it out, or I can get over this issue. I have also been eliminating the time I spend with people that tell me that I can't, or that I never will, or any other non supportive comments. Words of caution are always ok, but negative vibes no longer on my table. . . . . . . . . . . . #achieve #nothingisimpossible #relax #goals #positivevibesonly #believeinyourself #keepgoingforward #onestepatatime #inspiration #motivation #motivationalspeech #deepthoughtsofjoshua #deepthoughts #barriers #choices #whendidi #breakingbarriers #limitations #illusions #peaceintheparoxysm https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmL-fIF4ku/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13kkpwih2z3yp

Chronic pain causes tens of thousands of people a year to lose their jobs, and severely deteriorates quality of life, most the time, for the rest of their life. I myself lost pretty much everything after the pain became severe enough. I was incredibly depressed through it all, but a strange and wonderful thing happened to me after everything I had was all gone that helped me be grateful for all of it. My depression and anxiety is much easier to deal with now, and I feel a greater level of inner peace. I decided to be grateful for having it all to lose in the first place. I had lost sight of the gratitude when I had it all, but realised it when it was gone. I received the gift of having it all, And in the losing Recieved the gift of being grateful for it all again, and the wisdom to be more mindful, and grateful of the things that come my way in the future. Also in not holding on to anything, I let go of depression, anxiety, stress, self doubt, and fear of the unknown future. The unknown has now become an epic adventure to explore every corner of it until I can witness no more. The pain isn't going away, so I might as well accept it, and bring it a long. At least I won't have the added suffering of trying to fight it forever unsuccessfully. . . . . . . . . . . . #enlightenment #chronicpainawareness #chronicpain #survive #dealingwithchronicpain #motivation #motivate #gratitudeattitude #gratitude #gratefulforthestruggle #gratefulforthejourney #thankyourteachers #givethanks #discoveringtheunexpectedblessingsallaroundus #innerpeace #love #kindness #selfforgiveness #selfawareness #peaceintheparoxysm https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXZ4KxBRpm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nwrztq1oqigg

You know, in my private life—I must confess to you—I’ve had a terrible time with this because I love my work. And people who had absolutely, say, no comprehension or interest in what I’m doing would wonder how do I keep up the pace? How can I possibly do this, that, and the other? I love it. But then there are other people who say, “You never do a lick of work in your life! You’re playing all the time. Just goofing off. It’s too easy for you”—see?—“because you love it.” But that’s the only way to get it done, and done well! Because if you have something that is, say, a good marriage: a good marriage is not the result of forcing yourself into that marriage. Are you seriously supposing that if you say to your husband or wife, “Darling, do you really love me?” and the partner answers, “I’m trying my best to do so.” This is simply not a satisfactory marriage. We are not going to get beautiful work by mere effort against the grain. When you—you can tell a cook instantly, by tasting one mouthful of a dish, whether it was cooked out of a sense of duty or cooked out of love. A person, say, who cooks out of true love would, of course, encounter days on which it is difficult. But somehow, the overall love of the art will manage to get him through those days when it’s difficult. And so with marriage, and so with the mastery of any other art. But it is on the end of the older people—it is up to the teachers, the parents—to present the disciplines of life as something that’s not just what you ought to know, but as something that it is beautiful to understand. -Alan Watts- #alanwatts #deepthoughts #philosophy #peaceintheparoxysm #love #loveit #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #happinesswithin #innerpeace #teachyourchildrenwell https://www.instagram.com/p/BxPFiN3FweL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xwn0qbhf17xk
