Lesson 270: When it Gets Down to it...
“When it gets down to it, all the philosophy in the world means nothing. What’s important is your own experience—what you believe. What you have learned, with your own heart.”
Today we are to think about what makes sense to you and what’s important. What have you learned and know to be true in your heart.
I have mentioned it before but I do live for experience now. I used to be controlled my an ex boyfriend and as I’ve been growing and learning in my spiritual path, I realised that I am also controlled by the systems society has in place. I’ve been told what my life should look like and how I should live it. I have done away with this… I live my life how I want to.
In my life I want to make sure that I have truly lived. I think it’s important to be both selfish and selfless. I think being selfish in the sense of self-care, self-preservation and self-love are important. Sometimes you just need to say no to someone in order to maintain your inner being. I also think it’s good to be selfless when someone is in need of your help. It doesn’t matter what others think as long as you think it’s right. I think we really need more compassion in order to be the best versions of ourselves. I have definitely benefited from this course because it has taught me just that.
I think as I go about my journey, I like to hear other people’s stories. I like to learn from their experience as well as my own. I like to know how people overcome their challenges as it helps me to learn. I like sharing my stories as it helps others to understand and learn. I think something that is important in the world is the exchange of knowledge. Knowledge is not only power but it is growth.
I think everyone needs to learn their own truth. I think everyone needs to ask themselves what is important in life but what’s important to them in living their best life. My truth isn’t the same as yours and it never should be. We all go about our own path in our own way and no one should tell us it’s right or wrong.
My only wish is that everyone doesn’t get so caught up in consumerism. I watched this short film the other day which really covered this happiness we chase which is force fed crap those in control hang over our heads.
I wish everyone could wake up to the world around them and want to believe and live in a better world. What would the world be like if we weren’t controlled?
