Suffering is Optional

Suffering. It is something that most of the human race deals with at some time in their life. Suffering is optional. There is nothing that makes us suffer except our thoughts. Yep, we CHOOSE to suffer. I know for some of you this may be hard to hear.

Try on, that suffering is optional. It only exists if you allow it. There is no suffering in reality. It is created in language by the stories we tell ourselves.

It is something that is created. Suffering is not hereditary, it is when we tell ourselves something when things don't go the way we think they should.

We all have suffered over something. Sometimes relationships, health, finances. The more you suffer the less the universe can give you want you want.

Think of it as going to a diner. You want apple pie but the diner is out. Apple pie is not an option. So you choose something else. Suffering is not an option so choose something else.


Ways to eliminate suffering:

Don't dwell in what is not working or how you think things "should" be. It will only cause duress.

Don't justify or defend. It takes you off the hook.

Be responsible, that is to say not blame, guilt or shame. But being Cause in the matter of your life.

Choose something else to focus on, like what matters to you or making a difference. When your focus is off yourself, your suffering will disappear.

Know that there is NOTHING worth suffering over. I am a 3 time cancer survivor and I am not suffering.

Focus on the positive. Allow only positive thoughts to enter your space.



What if you took on for one day at a time.....Living a Suffer Free Life.See what happens. Things are always going to happen, but you do not have to suffer over it.
