Why?
Why do we try to try blame others for weaknesses in our own nature?
Why do we make ourselves unhappy by cherishing negative thoughts?
Why do we always want to have the last word?
Why do we place so much emphasis on the misinformed criticisms of others?
Why do we struggle to find time to spend even 10 minutes a day on the cultivation of our own inner peace.
Why do we give so much importance to the fleeting prospects of name and fame?
Why do we struggle to see the beautiful and simple in every day life?
Why are we instinctively drawn to the faults of others and remain blind to their good qualities?
Why do we continue to pursue habits we know are bad for us?
Why do we so often live in the past, reliving old problems?
Why do we get malicious pleasure from speaking ill of other people?
Why do we feel responsible for the progress of the world?
Why do we doubt our own capacities?
Why do we give so much importance to the accumulation of material wealth?
Why?
Because we don’t know how to authentically and effectively communicate our deepest desires.
Because we don’t always know what our deepest desires are.
Because even when we do know what our deepest desires are, we often don’t believe we deserve them.
Because sometimes our deepest desires seem impossible for us to reach.
Because sometimes we believe that our desires aren’t important enough.
Because sometimes we don’t think that our desires will ultimately bring us the sense of peace, joy, and abundance our heart’s ultimately yearn for.
Because when we were young, we believed others who believed all of the above false ideas…
