Why We Suffer

June 2, 2011 By Robert Tew 3 Comments

Why do we suffer?

We suffer because we have forgotten the power of unconditional love. We suffer because we would rather be right and fight than be in love. We suffer because we label every experience either good or bad. We suffer because we resist change rather then embracing it for the purpose of our own spiritual evolution. We suffer because we invest more into stocks than we do in our self-worth. We suffer because we have forgotten that we’re all family. We suffer because our innate values have gone awry. We suffer because we measure every relationship by what we can get out of it rather than what we can put into it. We suffer because the little things are no longer the big things. We suffer because we have forgotten who we are, and how beautiful we are.

We suffer because we CHOOSE to suffer.

We have the power to choose, in every moment, how we feel. We may not choose our conditions, but we can choose how we experience them and how we experience ourselves. It’s that simple. Return to love. Return home to the source–you.

You’re the source of everything you experience. You are beautiful. You are wonderful. You are magical. You are eternal. You are truth. You are you. You just need to realize those things to experience them. Never forget that…

Love Rob

    I can truly and honestly relate to y do we suffer
    We chose to suffer with certain things in our lives because we don’t want to let go of the old things in our lives rather its an relationship or whatever, but if we can learn to just let go of the things that’s holding us back or bring us down we could get some we’re in life!! Rob I love it
