Be careful what you wish for

[@shesometimeswrites]

One of the reasons I make sure to watch your videos is because from the beginning…these are concepts that at least seem to be not only what you’ve studied but what you reflect deeply upon. It resonates differently. It doesn’t just seem informative, but as if you have considered carefully your own path within these principles. I wondered as I listened today if this post was because of your own channel growth…if you had been considering it as well. The viewpoints you express are fleshed out. Thank you for sharing…and may your success continue in each area of your life. 🌿

“As long as you are wishing you’re not living”🙏🏼 wow 🙏🏼

[@maxwellrego]

A man had a horse that ran away. When his neighbor found out, he came over and said, "that's terrible". The man said, "you never know". The next day, the horse came back and was leading two wild horses. The neighbor said "that's wonderful". The man said, "you never know". The man's only son was training one of the horses and fell off and broke his leg. The neighbor came over and said "that's terrible". The man said, "you never know". The Cossack army came through the village and recruited everyone. They took all the young men. But they didn't take the son because he had a broken leg. Again, the neighbor said, "that's wonderful". And again, the man said, "you never know". -from a story told by Ram Dass

I keep noticing that things one wishes for eventually come true, but they come in another form, not the form expected. I find this fascinating, and already expect in advance that the form in which things will come is utterly unpredictable, because even if one imagined 10 possible scenarios, the 11th will happen 😊 so it makes no sense imagining much

There are many terrible things that happened to me that I wasn't ready for. But now I want good, overwhelming good. Why not have so much good you have to stop and think?

[@wonderIland]

@@LuluZia2 You cannot be sure wether ur ready for it or not until it happens. Let's say overwhelming good happens to you and after some time it fades away, what will happen then? If you are eady for it to happen, will you be ready to let it go? We can't know for sure

[@emilia4_]

@@wonderIland Agree. I learned to manage little money and make things work just fine. Then when I got a raise and multiple sources of income, I knew not to overspend on certain things and actually saved a lot on the side. Same with relationships, I haven't had a friendship that lasts longer than 7 months. I often find myself unwilling to communicate what people do that bothers me. All that piled up and I eventually blamed others that they were nonchalant and didn't want to own their part. If I suddenly had someone I adore shower me with love right now, I would definitely sabotage it. I'm still working on that.

[@wonderIland]

@@emilia4_ What you wrote about love really resonated with me. Everyone assumes I'm this cold hearted individual because I don't mention love often, when the truth is I know I'm not ready to accept it. It's one thing when you believe in love but when you don't believe that it's for you, things get complicated. In my mind I would rather possess the belief that I'm worthy of love, than actually have the "loml" right in front of me.

Great words young man. I can relate to a lot of what you say in this video and yes, for the first time I admit it, I have been "damaged" by chasing false dreams.

To pursue goals brings us experiences that questions our values along the way. If we get to know ourselves through positioning ourselves within them.

[@clairjunior5291]

If we are very much in tune with who we truly are, we would not change regardless of how our circumstances change. If we are fundamentally good, material possessions won't corrupt us and indeed they would give us more tools to do good. The opposite is true for people who are fundamentally bad.

[@cbrashsorensen]

Another profound point of discussion from Accepting the Universe. These are not "complicated" issues but a reflection of a society completely lost to consumerism and the desire of wanting and the sadness of not having. Defining ourselves by what we have and yearning for what we don't have regarding possessions is an awful place to be. That said, it will take great courage and determination to "break free" from first the thinking and then the desire. What we are really missing is knowing who we are FIRST.

[@katja410]

Exactly. To the detriment of life, the present moment. We miss so much, looking ahead ahead or in the past. The simple things. They are magical. Nature is magical! People are too. :) We are nature. Simple and so complex, at the same time. Our bodies remind us about survival and clench in frugal times. It is difficult to feel this clenching and nobody taught us how to care take this feeling. So instead we " think a solution". It is so intelligent, these protective mechanisms created by our minds. So creative. Black, white and so much grey inbetween. Our mind tries to protect us from feeling what is unknown, unfamiliar. Or reminds us of something hurtful, we experienced in the past. (So no, we are not going there anymore, clench, clench...) . See the leaves be danced by the wind in the sun and shadow reflection... Unique. I will never see this again. Not like this. And forgot for a moment about what was missing. Precious what you share here and how, in times of manifestation circus. Thank you.

[@Shaily1306]

"Wishing means not living and feeling there's a lack." This is the answer to my recent question: why the eastern scriptures say that we should dissolve all our desires and surrender to the almighty, whereas western culture depicts more of having a desire and manifesting it, these two are contradictory viewpoints. But now I know it's better to accept it as it is rather than wishing for something to happen in a certain way! Thank you for solving my doubt ❤😊

Speaking from the wishing money side… I have billionaire relatives. They are very overloaded with responsibilities. They are greedy as F. They don’t care about the wellbeing of others. They have to put on an appearance in public. . In my own understanding. I tell people to be very careful. So say they want a mansion when they “win the lotto”. Well they never understood that you need two pool boys on tap. 2 house cleaners. A chef. A chauffeur. Personal assistant. It’s not peaceful anymore. It’s like being in a hotel 🏨

I agree with most of your opinions here and listening to your discussions is so calming. After watching your channel, I feel a little wiser/smarter. However, frankly , I disagree with you here (not completely ). Wishes can become fulfilled goals, so wishing is not always a negative thing. So, I got to disagree with your statement , "If you 're wishing, you're not living". How do we set goals for ourselves? We first wish them to be true. Now I get it, if you only wish and envy, that is not living. And, the price can be too high when attaining some wishes (materialism is damaging). I suppose that is what you are saying here? I believe most people are of "average "intelligence and those with "average" intelligence can do very well for themselves, in the trades like plumbing , etc I don't believe there are many people who are below average in intelligence. I believe what you are describing , is simply ignorance (the under-educated). And yeah, most people (despite their IQ), can do better for themselves, if they work hard and are frugal. Great discussion! Thank you.

[@lifeofjasminhiba]

It's inspiring to embrace the stoic perspective that there's no inherent good or bad, only our subjective judgments. From this vantage point, even the most challenging situations offer opportunities if we choose to see them that way. When someone internalizes this outlook and actively applies it in their life, it becomes something truly admirable. It's like mastering the art of alchemy, transforming hardships into stepping stones for growth and success. So, striving for that level of awareness and resilience is indeed a worthy pursuit, a beacon of wisdom in a world often clouded by judgments and preconception :)
