Discussion»Statements» The world is not here to make YOU happy. Rather, it is here to make you Conscious. After that? A deeper thing than happiness manifests.
I think that may be true. I certainly realize I can overly depend on my "outside circumstances/others' behaviors" as the basis for my happiness. "If what I want happens or if 'good' things happen, I can be happy. If not, I'm uncomfortable or afraid." This is not good approach to life, I know.
:)
And, no surprise, I've put on my shoulders at times the responsibility of others' happiness depending on me.
At least, I'm aware of these traits and I'm improving.

It's cool looking back here and seeing our progress, isn't it?
I have been working on observing my feelings, reactions, judgements in various circumstances.
Acknowledging negative feelings, reactions, judgements instead of fighting them or berating myself for them is helping me to not attach myself to them. And it's helping me figure out what to avoid, if I can.
If the world is here to give you a consciousness, it gave me a broken one, because Im constantly falling in and out of it. LOL
As your happiness, I think everyone is responsible for their own happiness. You have to be comfortable in your own skin, and love your own company/yourself enough to create your own reality, and all that you wish it to be, happy or no.
Having to get to busy day of work and stuff for me now and mornings can be challenging for me emotionally, so I appreciate the sharing here, now. Thanks. :)
