There is that comforting feeling associated with the memories of my attachment.  It is that feeling that I so desperately seek every time I am on the look-out for my attachment fix.  For example, the satisfaction that I get when eating a hot muffin, or the feeling of love through a warm hug, and the sense of security when receiving a paycheck.  It is not literally the cake, the person or the money that creates that feeling, but my own internal associated experience.  In other words – how that makes me feel.

Recently the popularity of mindfulness has taken off and reached a whole other level.  But are we mindful about minding our own business?  With the advent of the internet and social media, other people’s business always seems to be much more interesting than our own!

If I am the creator of my life, then, things do not just happen by chance, I am creating them.  I have knitted the web of actions that I am now seeing as the blanket of my life.  I either have to like the creation or not.  It does no good blaming anyone for the blanket that I am now wrapped in.  The good news is the needles for knitting are in my hands, and I can change the pattern into anything that I so choose at any time.

Blaming is a very toxic behavior, it is a vice in itself because it does not allow us to see the truth.  We remain stuck in the illusion that others are responsible for bringing me happiness, peace or success in all areas of my life and on all levels.  If we are waiting for other people to fix our life and make us happy then we will be waiting forever.

We have ‘accepted’ such wonderful phrases like ‘being economical with the truth’, and the creation of news based on ‘alternative facts’.  It takes a powerfully honest man or woman to come out and say that they made a mistake.  Everyone is too concerned with their own self-image and watching their own back.  When we live our life by driving from the rear mirror, then our direction is bound to be wrong and no wonder the world is in such a mess today.Studies show that the average person lies several times a day.
