Full Potential And Truth
9) Complete love, respect, acceptance and expression of our full potential lead one to selfless bliss.
In the last month it became apparent to me that our lives are created by own choosing. This is either conscious or unconscious. I had a long talk with my friend Jim about this. I was having a hard time swallowing the idea. At first I thought I had a hard time swallowing it because it felt rather harsh. Then I realized that the reason I had a hard time swallowing it wasn’t because it meant that I choose to experience my own misfortune as I initially thought. It was because it meant I was responsible for experiencing my own success and happiness.
Now I see what Oliver Black meant when he said, “Everything that happens to you is your own fault.” Putting the word “fault” in there is what might make people disregard the statement. But really the statement is no different than saying, “Everything that happens to you arises from your own virtue.” That little word play at least makes me happier.
10) Happiness is nowhere to be found.
