Topic : Defining Your Authentic Self

I too suffer daily, weight, teeth, not as pretty, but I have come to accept ME, though the help of God, and there is a website, that offers many upbeat answers for people with disabilities, I do not believe we are allowed to place the site on these pages, but if you search with the title words, there is much comfort from the younger disable persons on this site! When I read the stories, I felt that these people had picked my brain as to how I felt! Which is still difficult to accept for me at times, but, I ask for God to help me and for me to hear him! Before I get the ton of bricks on my head for not paying attention with the first message, that I didn't follow with my heart! God's peace and Comfort to all who have so many problems! Remember God Really Does Not Make Junk!! He Loves Us, Unconditionally!! Prayers for your comfort!

Why we can communicate better if we think 'outside the box'.  The box being what is our own contained reality.   

  

  

What were you saved from?  Are they things that are easy to understand? 

  

How is your son doing?  (how old is he now)  Do you think he knows who he is yet?  Childhood is a funny time, because things occur in certain parameters, both good, and not so.  I don't know if adults realise the potential of children by the kinds of parameters that they put upon them.  

  

There is an interesting programme about 'changing spouses'.  The latest one had a spouse who was highly unsual, with crooked teeth.  No friends etc.  But she wanted her 'pretend spouse' to write out what his faults were'.  This was so direct and blunt that maybe, in a sense, she wanted him to be as aware of his faults as when she grew up with insults about her own flaws. ie. crooked teeth. 

  

 It is interesting I feel, how extreme the families are on this show are.  How surprising. 

  

I think swapping spouses would be like climbing the cliffs of treachery,

It is highly cool that you've jumped from an airplane.  I just find the wind blowing while in a car, cool.  I can just imagine this a hundred fold!  Plus the relaxation of drifting endlessly, like time stops still. 

  

Apparently time during these 'cool moments' are recorded as much longer in our brains, even though they feel much shorter, at the time.  (one of the ironies of experience and the brain-mechanics) 

  

We all need a twig or two, in our own mental wellbeing.  How has your week been doing?  I've found I've been down-sizing a bit, not holding on to so much stuff.  (materials)

Sometimes, I feel it is best just to be regular, boring person. After all, we are so spoilt for resources, tv, videos, books etc.   

  

Just being about to have improved and matured emotionally and mentally, is all those like 'Dr Phil' really expect, I think.

It was so confusing in what I was supposed to do and where I was supposed to be going.  I think that I did sport because I wanted to achieve, I did music, because I wanted to achieve and be special, I did martial arts because I wanted to achieve and be special and to defend myself, I did science because I wanted to achieve and be special and to know things and to be skillful enough to do what I wanted.  I did maths (some effort into trigonometry etc for a while) and other various actiivties (shorter times) like cadets because I found fascination with these things, as well as all the other be special, achieve etc.   

  

Now I wonder how in the world can schools create such complexity within their programmes.  Has anyone thought that complexity without real understanding of the world, is a traumatic and stressful situation to be in?     

their most treasured possession?  Where did he/she get it?  Why is it a treasure?
 

  

I have come to realise that a person is judged more on who they are then the things they do weather its good or bad. The person you are inside is the one who makes the conscience decision. Your character ultimalty makes the decision which effects your life. 

To become a strong willed and wise person a person has to sit down and re-evaluate who they are before making any step.  

Your a unique person all by yourself but your self worth and self authenticity is what you make it. 

People will always try and bring you down and try to move forward with no self worth. 

Its important to realize how much it can really effect your life.  

Having a strong moral character and a good social behaviour are keys to making it a success. 

Your values have to be instilled and then applied in life to take shape inside yourself. 

There is a problem and a solution....in order to get from the problem to the solution you have to make changes that will erase the negative aspects and will allow the positive aspects to grow.... 

I believe that morality, which includes honesty, integrity, kindness, and other traits is one way that your spirit is healed if used in the proper places and times. 

When you apply these traits and your spirit is healed through them your satisfaction ultimatly goes to the soul which heals by feeling positive vibes. 

Eventually when you keep at it. your whole system inside takes shape causing a good chemical reaction which eventualy reacts to the other parts of you. You start to FEEL better inside for doing good things....and thats a fight that you keep going until the end of your time. 

  

Belinda, what I've discovered recently is that as I finally switch from my old "boring" life long tapes to healthier ones, I'm no longer the TV addict I used to be. I find that I need to read a novel. That I enjoy pulling up weeds.   

  

I believe now that TV, videos, computer games are just ways we turn ourselves off. 

  

Now that I've awaken new tracks within my brain, I feel that I have pulled myself thru the old boring me.  I'm sewing, I'm cooking, I'm cleaning, I'm pulling up weeds in my yard, I'm actually exercising 30 minutes to an hour a day. 

  

Before I was existing -- today, I'm living. 

like your really appreciating life (all that you have) 

  

That's great
