 A friend of mine told me a story the other day. His dear friend had gotten terminal cancer and passed away. One important lesson she taught my friend was that for the entire time she had the illness she did not suffer mentally. She was able to keep her spirit high. The secret was, instead of continuing to ask the question of “Why me?” she accepted the “what is” and answered with “Why not me?”. Although they both seem to be questions there are significant differences in the two where I have demonstrated here. In the last three years of her life, she was able to enjoy every moment of it and it was probably the best three years of her entire life. I always believe there’s a reason for everything. The fact that my friend told me about the story and now that I’m sharing it with you is because she left an important lesson for all of us to learn, especially the ones that are reading this post. I’m grateful for her valuable contribution and legacy to the world. Why Me vs. Why Not Me “Why Me” is a forever unanswered question that brings us endless suffering. “Why Not Me” is a simple answer to many of our complicated questions that leads us to clarity and the relief of misery. “Why Me” represents the unknown which often involves fear. “Why Not Me” is absolute certainty that only gives you sheer confidence. “Why Me” is persistence which will be met with continued resistance. “Why Not Me” is total acceptance accompanied by faith that results in seamless flow. “Why Me” is not only selfish but also cowardly because we wish it happened to someone else other than us. “Why Not Me” is selfless and brave that fully engages the challenges head on and bears all responsibilities. Therefore, “Why Me” is the source of suffering whereas “Why Not Me” is the source of peace and joy. - Feelasoulphy

 Often, we perceive our anger and frustration as being triggered by external factors or the actions of others. However, it is crucial to recognize that these challenging emotions can also stem from within us, frequently rooted in unresolved trauma. By acknowledging and addressing these inner wounds, we can begin to understand the true origins of our distress, fostering a path towards healing and emotional resilience. - Feelasoulphy  Everything happens at the perfect timing. There was never a time that was not perfect and there was never a thing that happened to you wasn’t supposed to happen. If you just stop trying to control every situation you will free yourself from disappointments and heartaches. As soon as you accept this as your new reality you will begin to let go your past and your regrets in life. - FeelaSoulphy  If you don’t accept who you are, how can you accept others and be accepted by others? If you don’t think you are attractive, how can you expect others to attract to you? If you are not honest to yourself, how can you be honest to anyone else? If you judge others it’s because you judge yourself. Love yourself unconditionally first you will learn how to love others and be loved unconditionally. Improve yourself and start within... - FeelaSoulphy  You are perfectly “flawed”. There’s no other way you should be and no better time to be who you are. Your “flaws” are perfectly designed for what you are suppose to achieve at the moment. Just embrace YOU and accept everything the way it is! - FeelaSoulphy  Give your best and let the universe worry about the rest... Sometimes the only thing we can do is to give our best effort. As long as your intention was good just understand that you cannot control the outcomes. When we try to control and manipulate things to fulfill our own selfish desires we often find ourselves disappointed with the results. So let go of the control and accept whatever happens in the end because you cannot possibly know this result will actually be bad for you in the long run. I'm sure you can recall the times that something bad had happened to you but later you found out that it turned out to be a great thing for you or your soul. The Universe has a way of teaching us the lessons we need to learn that we can never comprehend. The best thing to do is to give our best and have the faith in the Universe. Just watch the magic unfolds before your eyes! - FeelaSoulphy |
