Creating images, creating illusions that differ from what is here, can lead to man not living to his/her full potential.
Being in an unfulfilling relationship, working an unfulfilling job, living on someone else`s back (partner, family), and thinking and acting as if you are spending your own money, is much worse than being alone and begging on the street.
How is that?
It is very simple.
When you create the greatest illusions about yourself you waste so much time (in a relationship or job, or whatever it is). You are not even aware of how much time you ‘invested’ in creating this image of yourself. And you did waste time, because it is a creation of self, and to create anything you need time. So this is firmly determined.
Being completely honest about yourself, being natural about what you love, what you don’t like, what your skills and talents are, etc., doesn’t take time. Not at all! It is who you you.
Natural.
Similar to your creation before, you’re real, in which you also have strengths and weaknesses, but true strengths and weaknesses, not false ones.
If you have the intelligence and imagination to create an image about yourself, illusions, etc., be very sure that you will have that same intelligence and imagination to create life, a real one with your natural self.
Even if you walk out of your office, with no money at all, if you break up your relationship, or leave your parent’s house with only one bag in your hands, I assure you, you will be just fine.
But your decisions should be honest. You need to be sure, it is not another illusion, another Ego trip. It should never be about proving yourself what you can do. It must be a real urge.
It must be you. And your soul must be calm. You might cry, but deep inside, you will know it is real.
Be real.
Acceptance of time, acceptance of self, acceptance of others. The real-life of who you are in every sense, externally and internally.
The things that were so important before, I am not sure that most of them, will not mean to you that much when you find your self.
And that makes the fear (created by Ego) unjustified.
If you are scared of losing your car, maybe really you enjoy walking more than driving in traffic jams.
It can be as simple as that.
