I don’t have a choice I have a depression.

I don’t have a choice I have an addiction.

I don’t have a choice I have a phobia.

I don’t have a choice I have a worrying mind by nature.

I don’t have a choice I have a burn-out.

I don’t have a choice I have a stage fright.

Notice the meaning of the words in these sentences?

I mean, people mean what they say when they actually say this.

‘I have’, hmmm, this is what we are used to doing in the psychological and physical world out there.

We suffer from something and we become that something.

We keep repeating it until it becomes so big, it is not easily cured or removed.

We search for treatment and we hear the same thing.

That we suffer from something. We have something.

Why is that?

Even highly educated psychiatrists and psychologists express themselves in these words when they talk about their patients.

Is it a way of interpreting certain phenomenona or symptoms in order to have something to hold on to or is it a way to justify the treatment is necessary because of the symptoms.

I assume every professional in the mental health industry is in that field to cure people as fast as they can to the best of their abilities.

And still there is something wrong…..

We need something else.

We need to embrace the fact of everybody being OK, complete, enough and awesome.

We need to embrace the fact that each and everyone has innate resilience to deal with a lot of mental illnesses.

We need to tell as many people suffering from any mental desease that they are not their thoughts. There is no need to identify themsleves with their thought and their thinking about it. Thoughts come and go. They create our feelings and reality.

We need to, if necessary, fight for spreading the gift The Three Principles gave us, knowing we have innate wisdom and that we can use that wisdom to love from the inside out.

We need to let everyone know that we all have what it takes to lead an effortless, happy and joyful life.

We don’t need to be fixed.

I know, I’ve said it before.

I will keep repeating myself in several different ways in the future.

The message will come across to more and more people.

Use the understanding of The Three Principles for yourself as a way of feeling your own humanity, resilience and well-being.

That feeling will be noticed.

That feeling will cause a small revolution in your own habitat.

Life will come from you not at you. People will notice.

The more people will do this the more people will be liberated from their label of ‘having something’.

We ourselves, showing others the beauty of life, the beauty of being alive, the beauty of being a witjes of the miracles around us.

That’ll be the end of labelling.

Love all, play to the max, achieve anything. Be Awesome.
