How to Stop Hurting Yourself....

Many people will not believe it when told how severely they hurt themselves by lack of self-understanding..They still wrongly think that harm originates from outside, rather than from its actual origin within....Take negative reactions..Who is painfully negative when rain ruins the picnic..the rain or the reaction?..Who gets hurt when someone breaks his promise to us..the broken promise or the person taking it with resentment ?.....It is as simple as this; We cannot cling to our negative emotions without paying the price..Can we be at peace at the same time that we feel frustrated?..No. Can we enjoy ourselves while harboring dejection ?..Impossible...It is one or the other....Suppose a human worked with this enlightening fact until they see it clearly..They would at once drop their preference for negativity..They would see how it robs them of the very happinness they want.........
