Sorry, but these are real turn offs for me. Everything seems very glib. Life is NOT about fluffy clouds and sweet words. It is not about someone you have never met telling you how special you are and that they love you.
Life is about recognising the darkness, accepting it and encompassing it. It's not about glossing over the badness and the difficulties, it is about recognising them, accepting them and finding a way around them.
I think all this self realisation stuff is dangerous. People focus on themselves and self analyse far too much. Things happen just because they do. You find happiness wherever you can without analysing it and deconstructing it. Everyone is beautiful, everyone is strong, everyone had the potential to be happy. Stop beating yourself up, stop being critical of yourself because you are failing to achieve... whatever you think you ought to be achieveing. Give yourself permission to be unhappy. Give yourself permission to 'feel'. Anger, hurt, pain, defensiveness, self pity, hopelessness.... they are valid emotions. They should not be suppressed, they should not be beaten down and, Gods forbid, they should not be felt guilty about.
Nothing is ever all good. Learn to love the darkness.
My own journey towards happiness has been a journey through hell and I may not have enjoyed every moment of it I have certainly valued the lessons I have learned throughout.
Rant over. You might be able to tell that I feel rather strongly about this.... everything else in our lives has been sanitised and I really hate it when emotions go the same way.
