PATHWAY TO JOY AND HEALING

Yesterday as I was discussing relationships with a friend about helping another friend with a recent breakup, I mentioned why this friend has been unable to see why so many men have left her in the recent past.  It appears obvious to me why men repeatedly have left this incredibly beautiful woman.  As she is thirty years old now, she worries about finding the right man with whom to have a family.

In this moment of awareness, I began to reflect upon my own life and the failed relationships in my life.  With much sadness, I realized why mine had not succeeded either.  When we realize that we are the common denominator in these failed relationships, we begin to look inward at what hasn’t worked for us.  As I continue to heal my own emotional injuries and wounds, I see that it has been I who felt repeatedly discontent with my partners and relationships.

The truth, however, is that I was discontent with myself.  I blamed others for my own discontentment, wishing somehow that my partners can improve my life and situation. I was barking up the wrong tree, since I needed to look inward at my own emotional pain and wounds. My refusal to look inward had me chasing my own tail trying to find a solution from without, when the only way to contentment for my own life rested within me.

Finally, with this new perspective, I will stop blaming others for the results of my own life, and begin to reflect within for the answers to solving the problems of my life, and finally finding my path to contentment and peace.  May you follow your path to contentment and peace, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
