Stop Shopping for What You Already Have

What we seek is within us. You don’t need to get anything from outside yourself. Love, peace and happiness are within each and every one of us. To get what you want, you must first be what you want. If you seek love, give love. You will feel the love when you’re giving it to someone else.

 

We are taught to believe that to feel love we have to go and get it from someone else. When you seek something in return, you are defeating the whole purpose. In this case, you’re not giving but receiving. When you want something, you’re blocking the power of your energy. Love has no expectation, only the ego does. You can live by learned beliefs or from your innate self. The choice is yours.

 

Attachment to your beliefs is the ego’s domain, and it’s the root of all suffering. The ego will resist when you try and access your intrinsic self. Thoughts will arise, and you will sabotage your true being. We must get rid of learned beliefs and clear the pathway to our essential truth. When you know who you are and understand your innate values, then you don’t need to seek anything from outside yourself. You don’t need any material obsession or possession. As for me, I'll buy one more wig, and I promise I’ll stop shopping!

 

With lovingkindness,
