Take time for yourself. Seriously. It’s important for your peace of mind and over all happiness

Most important GLP thread, EVER

I agree with this.

People are so concerned with taking care of everything else that they forget to take care of themselves.

It's important, especially in these high stress times.

Definitely. Gotta stay in touch with self so we know when we need R&R.

Personally I'm having a blast

yes, very true

everyones been lied too

all the answers lie within, there are no answers outside of yourself ever, nor were there ever any

all is illusion

Lol thanks for the kind words just doing my part

Even a nice peaceful walk with relaxing music can totally uplift ones mood

Agreed

I’m not at the having a blast phase

I am at the suffering phase but I’m happy still phase

Care to expand ? I’m interested in the all is illusion comment

I agree with you about the illusion and veil

It’s just I can’t compute it entirely to make total sense at the moment

Understood. The torture phase is tough especially when something or someone is just beyond their grasp. Patience is the name of the game. And doing the right thing.

I love my freedom, but miss the companionship of a good woman.

For some people, they have both.

It is possible, when you realize the only person you have control over is yourself. In a committed relationship, your individuality need not be held for ransom at the whim of another. When you truly love someone, you accept them as they are.

Yup

Sometimes I miss the companionship

But i figure if the Almighty wanted me with a certain woman right now I would be with her

So I’m living on faith at the moment

I have accepted I might never have a wife or date again but maybe next week I meet my eve . That’s a metaphor. I’m not Adam.

I am content as I am.

If the lord wills, the right lady will come into my life. If not, so be it. I am not actively seeking a relationship though. I just don't care for all of the drama that usually comes attached.

On the topic of Adam an Eve, you left out Pinch Me! lol

wherever you go there you are

environment is distraction

all answers inside, as stated

environment may cause you to react, but NEVER defines you

you are undefinable and eternal

you observe the world, and may react to it

but it never defines you, because your undefinable, pure potential

where ever you are in space and time you observe from your unique vantage point

there is no other like you

this illusion called life is but a distraction involving separation of you from yourself. the more you search outside yourself for answers, the greater the separation, the greater the confusion

when you dream during sleep, do you awaken to reality or a dream?

what would you do if you could never "awake" from a bad dream, and say "gee, glad that was only a dream"

best look inside for this answer so you will always "wake up"

all is illusion

best look inside for your answers.

if you had a nightmare that you could never awaken from, what would you do? what would be your option? I guess in such a hypothetical scenario you'd be pretty limited, no?
Could you transcend that bad dream?

Of course you could.

How? The answers in you

Great thread. Mhmm, yep.

Hey I agree if it’s his will it will happen. Obviously right now he didn’t want us to have a wife. Doesn’t mean it will never happen. Or maybe we are just meant for a different life than most.

Likewise, friend :)

Bro you my brother in Christ.

Great advice.

If nothing else, relax in a quite place outside, close to nature and just be.. Don't think, don't worry, don't obsess. Just be.

Once you've entered that quiet zone, it's amazing the noises you'll start hearing that you've never noticed before.

It's a wonderful battery charger
