Good Morning Twitterati, Fbookers & fellow bloggers
I wanted to chat with you all about
what we crave in our lives
and how we tend to put those cravings
onto someone else
to make us happy
make us complete
make us worth it.
What do you crave?
Attention?
Do you put upon people that
you are important?
Do you constant search for attention
regardless of the situation you are in?
Do you become depressed when the focus
is no longer on you, and do you
feel that when not being paid attention
to, you become attention seeking,
searching and downright destructive
to anyone's needs but your own?
Is the need for constantly craving attention
stronger then the need to be part of something bigger?
When we search out attention, focusing on
the outside pats on the back,
others to tell you how important we are,
we truly do lose sight of our
own selves.
The need for attention turns in to the
more self destructive WANT for attention.
It fuels us, not to be a better human being
but to always be looked upon, without
really focusing inwardly on ourselves.
If you crave attention ask yourself these questions?
1. Why do I need another persons approval?
2. Am I being overindulgent in an area of my life
that I feel guilty about?
3. What am I not giving myself that someone else
needs to?
Craving attention = Not honoring your true self.
It is the energy of lack in one of the highest forms.
As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself -
Neale Donald Walsch
Do you crave affection?
The need to be loved becomes so entwined by
your own sense of self it then becomes
a wanting to be loved.. regardless by whom.
The moral high-ground gets swept aside as
you become a seeker of affection,
craving and wanting the energy of love so
deeply it becomes malicious,
addictive and to some extent
dangerous.
( Fatal Attraction bunny boiling scene anyone?)
*shudders*
The wanting to be loved becomes so
linked with our self worth, if we do not
feel we have love, or are loved, or have
been loved, we feel worthless.
Our own need for self approval again
rears its ugly head and comes crashing down
around our toenails.
We are not worthy if we are not loved.
But,
if we truly loved ourselves
would we seek it so much from others?
If we truly loved ourselves
would we keep doing what we are doing?
If we truly loved ourselves
would we allow another to express themselves
in their own way, instead of putting our own
spin on it, wanting it to be picture perfect?
Is the fairytale real?
Is our constant craving of attention and affection
stopping us from truly reaching the
Nirvana we have been searching for?
Do we hate ourselves that much
that someone else''s opinion rules our lives?
We ask others for their opinions
but do we really know where they are coming from themselves,
are they truly the best advice for our own lives?
Are the people we are striving to be loved and wanted,
needing to be loved and cared for themselves first?
Can we find it within ourselves to go within
to find ourselves?
I think we can.
Sure it's so much easier to rely on another,
but then,
in saying that
is it truly?
Is it so much easier for someone to give you
something
that you can readily give yourself?
Are you prepared to give to yourself first,
to show yourself your worth it
so that you no longer seek
the approval of another?
Are you strong enough to let go
of society's shackles of constant craving
and
feed your own soul?
I believe you are
I believe you can
Do you?
