Your Mind is Talking

LISTEN TO YOUR MIND

“It is what got me here, and would not let me leave until it carried me away.”

Telling yourself nothing but the truth is the only way you can understand who you are and how you feel.

What is on your mind

My name is __________and I live in___________. I am__________. My______________. I now realize that_________. And it is because____________. When I was growing up my_______. I got_________. Why________. There are times when________. I have tried_________. No one________. I need________. If_________. Then________. They__________. It_________. *I am open to__________. I just feel________. I think_________.

What You Feel is What You Get

To understand what comes next, you must become a part of what you hear when you read. But you do have to listen to what you hear. They are not the same. You must put forth effort to listen. Hearing you do not. You must let what you hear— “the message”— sink in until it becomes a vision in your mind’s eye. You do have to feel it to see it. And you must see it not only with your eyes but also with your mind to believe it. And so you know, you can never learn too much about how you think. The better you understand your “Self,” the clearer your insight and view of the world around you–your environment.

Much of what I say may not come through in the first reading. It will all be clear to you once you are not just hearing but listening for a better understanding of what you hear. It may take more than a first glance—change is not always understood when first approached. And this is change, and not just for the sake of change. What we think we know is not all there is. “It Is How You Think,” and how you think is how you will feel, and how you feel is how you will act. Everything you and I do cannot be done without thinking about it first. No matter the “I wasn’t thinking excuse,” we hear, and you may have said. You can do nothing without thinking first. If you are alive and not “brain dead,” you are thinking—even as you dream.

You Can Do Nothing Including Living Without Thinking

All that I say–and you say to me–consist of perception, thinking, feeling and action. It is about how we think, what we do, and why. There is a reason why our lives are the way they are. At times, no matter how we live. What we think we know is not all there is.

It keeps me from sinking, but it doesn’t allow me to swim. 

A person can only tread water for so long. You have to swim or you will sink. You are taught, or learn from what you think about what you see. And what we see may not always be what we think it is.

When the seed is planted and you grow in loose and nutrient deficient soil, it can cause you to feel uncertain about who you are. All that you can do is search for something to hold on to. Only a drive to survive is what you own. And one day, you open your eyes. It is then that you realize you have become dependent on the resources of your spouse.”

To be dependent on a person, place or thing is just another way to say, I quit.

When you live your life this way, you have to hold on tight. When you let go of your grip and try to be yourself, your advantage will give way and so will your hold. You must be yourself first because that is who you are. When you are not being who you are, it will not be you they know. If you do not know this experience, think what it would be like. The hunter is now the game. Do not think your “Self” in to its grip. There are things in life that must be as we expect them to be. We depend on these things. As we do life itself. To depend is a way of life. The way it is meant to be.

To be dependent on a person, place or thing is just another way to say, I quit. It shows a lack of Self awareness. You should never think you cannot do a thing on your own. It is not how you should live. Never think you have no choice. In a relationship, on the job, or any other time or place you have to feel you are free to be you. You have the right to be who you are. Our role in life depends on it. I cannot be you, and you cannot be me. We cannot be us and us cannot be we.  No one can be someone else no matter the capacity. You only do this when you find it hard, for whatever reason, to be yourself.

No one can know who you are. How can they if you do not know yourself? Though they will try, with your help, to tell you just that. If you are ever lost, you must find yourself. There is no other way to look at it. You can search, but you will not see a thing more important than being aware of the Self. If not, not a thing will work. You are the only one who can say who you are.

Our world has to be made ready for us before we arrive. We are born for others to take care of us. It is meant to be that way—that is—until we can take care of ourselves. We have to be made ready to do so. These are the things we get from those responsible for our care. If we do not, our lives can be a difficult road to travel. And no one will be eager to help if they think you should already know what you do not. Many will see this as the fault of the one who this has hurt. That is unless they have a reason to care. Not at all, though, if they think they have no choice in doing so.

Depend not on a source when you do not know what you give for what you get. This is when you are being helped and do not know why. That which you are not sure of, nothing about it can be for sure. There is not much you can be sure of when you are not sure of your own Self. SELF awareness is to know you—your SELF.

It is an ongoing challenge to lift yourself up when your mind and how you think are holding you down. Being dependent when you should not is not a good thing. It will not let you grow. Do not let your thoughts and how you think them hold you back.

You don’t know if you should draw a breath when you are not sure if you should breathe.

When you are dependent, you do not know whether your feelings are true, or you are just trying to survive. Do not be bound by your status. You don’t know if you should draw a breath when you are not sure if you should breathe: disordered thinking doing what it does. When you do not want to leave, but you cannot stay.

Hear your Self calling and listen to what you have to say. It is the only way you can be yourself. It is a perfect fit: you and your Self. Of course, we do have to depend on life for what we need. It is one of the rules of nature. It is how we survive.

To depend and being dependent on are not the same. One you must (depend) and the other (dependent) you should try with all your might not to be.
