I Am My Own Worst Enemy

I can not even begin to explain how many times in my life I got in my own way of my happiness. I have this great knack for pushing things away from me if it looks like I am going to have to really open my heart up to someone.

I know this about me and yet I seem to continue doing it to myself over and over!!!!!! I never thought I was masochistic but who knows!

Thanks so much for your honesty about this. For most people, when they do this, it's easier and so much more convenient to just blame someone else, justify or rationalize it away. You're doing great in simply recognizing this is what you do. Being trained away from our natural guidance systems at such young ages, it's not surprising this unconscious strategy comes about. It's not really masochistic, just part of the human condition, then hijacked by the needs and demands of others, rubbing salt into the wound, as it were, and locking it in. Welcome to planet Earth and her compromised compliment. If you notice, without judgement, the underlying condition, need, and pain which underlies your self-sabotage, you stand a great chance of working through it.

All The Best.

@PhoenixPhail I appreciate your response, it is easy to see the flaws in yourself but to fix them or work them out which ever phrase you prefer is not as easy. I think I am progressing which I am happy with but time will tell....
@Moilive I think you're doing great, Moilive. Rather than trying to eliminate my "flaws, mistakes, evil," whatever one wishes to call them, I'm learning to make friends with them, taking them in as allies, not enemies. I find this creates a spaciousness and an acceptance in me, that otherwise I wouldn't find. Whatever your tools of progression, congratulations. It would seem you're on a path of aligning with your True Nature.

True love begins with self-love.

Your first true relationship in life,is the one you have with you.

Then it is time that you build up your worth of-self. The one to validate and complete you, is you.

People can ADD to us, they can't fill what is empty from within.

Your happy is your job for you. Not one other person can have you be happy....

@SoFine I do love your comment and it is very true and I am for the most part very confident in my abilities but I have some trust issues with me and others LOL
