most often we are taught to approach life from a perspective of survival, lack, scarcity and fear... We were taught that life is about destination , and that when we get to point X, be it marriage or college degree or fame or fortune or whatever----> then we will live happily ever after..
But that is not the way life works.
We keep on living life as if it is a dress rehearsal for "when my time comes".For when we really start to live. For when we get the relationship , or accomplishment , or money that will make us okay, that will fix us.
We do not need fixing . We are not broken.
the approach that society taught us is very dysfunctional,and sad way to relate life. We are always empowering ourself with fear which is all about the future and shame which is all about the past. We are not capable of being in the now and enjoying life because we are caught up in trauma about things which have not yet happened- or wallowing in orgies of self-recrimination about the past, which cannot be changed.
We are made to think that we are broken, and so we obsessed our self of trying to fill the hole within.
