All life comes from within!
It’s driven by instincts, needs, and feelings!
We are designed to live this way!
It’s us at our best! People are naturally kind and loving.
But only when living from our inner drive!
Sadly, though, we live in a peer-pressure world instead now!
All the wonder of our inner strength has been forced underground!
In this condition, we have no access to our instinctive wisdom!
Consequently, we don’t let others live from within, either! That’s our world in these times!
ISOLATED FROM PUBLIC PRESSURE!
If we are alone and away from peer-pressure, we naturally allow other people to live from their own abilities. We encourage it! This causes a loving world!
A peer-pressure world, though, is a cruel one!
There is no sharing or trust!
When we allow others to power their own lives, they never need to leave us! Ever!
But, when we have expectations, if we insist on pressuring others in any way, trust and kindness become impossible! This is peer-pressure!
Others will have to leave us for their own survival!
No longer do we live from our inherent wisdom and kindness.
Following orders and surrendering to outside pressure removes us from our real lives!
We can be cruel, and it’s happening throughout the world!
REAL RELATIONSHIPS
Do we want the very best from other people? Love, honesty, compassion, trust?
Well, where do these come from?
Peer-pressure?
Of course not!
They come from our loving human qualities, and these all come from deep inside!
If we don’t allow expression as others wish to give it, then we will never see any of these qualities!
We will, instead, be locked into battle!
And, if we don’t understand what’s happening, we will have to leave others behind, or they will have to leave us.
Often, we move away to other people with the same results. Sometimes, the conflict is coming from us anyway.
OURS IS A PEER-PRESSURE WORLD!
Any one of us, if removed from the media and the demands of other people, would instinctively accept what others are trying to express. These are real relationships!
It feels wonderful, as life is supposed to!
THE LOSS OF OUR INNER DRIVE STARTS EARLY!
This freedom of living from within is at it’s most critical in children!
Our very early years determine if each individual will live from their own inner values or from the expectations of others.
To live from the demands of others is a death sentence to everybody’s self-esteem!
We will never again feel naturally important, not once we lose our kind and amazing internal connections.
For all our lives, we will seek importance over others. That’s our world now.
It can never work though. Self-importance can only come from within!
WE HAVE DONE IT TO OURSELVES!
With infinite wisdom available within us, we have listened to loud and foolish people instead.
Then, in a hurting condition, we damage any healthy people still remaining!
It has brought us to war, leaving love and cooperation behind!
THERAPY!
What do we do in therapy?
We try to find ourselves! We try to express what lies within us!
We get happier and nicer!
Wouldn’t it be easier to not destroy those connections in the first place? Especially if the first consequence is kinder people?
STANDING UP TO PEER-PRESSURE!
Getting our real lives back!
There is a lot of pressure now! Being unable to live from within, everybody wants to rule us!
That’s, of course, because they want their importance back! It can’t work, though. Not that way! It’s an endless quest!
None of us will never feel right again unless we get our real inner strength back!
But we must stand alone to get started!
Living from our own inner wisdom and power is far from being alone! But, we will feel alone until we regain some of that strength!
Then, we get to feel powerful! We also become wiser. Other people, with their anxiety and misguided goals, become hard to understand. Those of us living from our own inner strength only want acceptance and companionship.
Why climb a ladder that will leave us feeling just as empty as those who have already climbed one?
Trusting our inner strengths is not a risky thing to do! It’s the only source of compassion and wisdom available to any of us!
People living from within are always wise and compassionate. That’s who people really are!
Real life comes from the heart!
Thanks for listening.
Good luck on your journey.
