But how long pain stays, how it shapes identity, and how it turns into suffering depends largely on the stories the mind builds around it.
And… we can always tell ourselves the sunny part of the story (or even lie LOL) , to support our happiness.
to think & feel is the greatest strength of being a human
Everything we experience begins in the mind
Not in the sense that the mind creates reality out of nothing,
but in the sense that it interprets, organizes, and responds to it.
Our mind likes to attach meaning and sense out of the situation, so it can make a rational decision.
Rationality of our mind depends on ✩ Our past experiences and behavior patterns (subconscious memory),
✩ Information we feed ✩ How we chose to feel (outcome) – We practically tell our minds what exactly to do, and it follows, eloquently.
— All of this happens in the mind first.
These are real human experiences & its beautiful !!!
They are not imagined. Loss hurts, because the mind struggles to let go of what once gave meaning or safety. Rejection hurts, because the mind reads it as a threat to belonging and self-worth. Uncertainty hurts, because the mind fears not being able to predict or protect itself.
This is the part that’s often missed.
The same mind that reinforces helplessness is also the only place where choice can appear.
it’s actually very cool and hot & sexy to love loudly, to be raw and generous with your heart
