There came a point where I had to abandon all the motivational dogma and "entrepreurial wisdom" or "goal-setting," "being disciplined with your time," etc - because I've come to learn: the body has its own agenda."

You talk like me!

My experience over many years has finally lead me to the conclusion that whenever we set goals we insinuate searching for something we haven't yet. Goal-setting is the strategy of focusing on lack instead of abundance, detesting the beauty of the pathway and each moment's noteworthiness.

In a way, we then tell ourselves that without reaching a goal we embody lack. Not being good enough, and our body responds to that from the inside out.

There was a time where I was working hard, but my results were worse than ever before. It was my Soul telling me in a roundabout way that I don't need to struggle through life. So my Soul did not resonate with this hard work method, hence my work was to no avail.

"Laziness" doesn't exist. When we are "lazy" it merely implies that we need a break from hard work or don't have Heart resonate with a system in the first place. This is a good sign!

My definition of discipline is defined by potential outcome as the exclusive motivation to keep us on track with the execution of an occupation which is against our Heart's passion.

WE know best what is good for us and what not!

brilliantly stated.

and excellent perspective for contemplation. no doubt, alot of my "neuroses" has been intertwined with the constant striving and imbalanced ambition - whereas it definitely subsides when easing into the abundance vibration.

This too!

That is a battle I've repeatedly struggled with, which is rather silly considering how intensely/obsessively I do throw myself into something when the flow is there. Definitely could benefit from more real breaks and clearly aligning everything with that heart resonance.

thanks for planting these seeds... 💖

Yeah, sometimes the external response can be very annoying, but it really doesn't matter because it is OUR health, so WE decide ;)

Best wishes!

Illness as a teacher. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing.

"It doesn't take all that much to blow fuses and spiral out into somewhat of a mental-emotional clusterfuck with which nothing is gonna get productively done until slowing way the fuck down to defrage and process what's going on beneath the surface."

I've felt like this many times, even in the recent years and I've decided to take up meditation because of it. When a person has so much energy, or life force we can sometimes wonder how to deal with it—transmuting it into productivity.

I'm marvelling at your journals (and I thought I went on the most tangents ha!). I at many times have while being aware of my own blessings denied or wanted to indulge myself to deny my curses as well. I also used to advocate a lot of "If I were you" type of advice to others.

Everyone is their own person, and this reminder makes an excellent point to review. Our bodies are the vessels of this lifetime, taking care of them is as important as nourishing our minds, without the body our existence on this plane ceases to be.

I used to pull continous all-nighters for sake of the hustle, and many times even now I could become so immersed that I forget to eat. Thank you for reminding me that taking care of my body is important. I'm smiling that you can see what can be learned through even the darkest parts of ourselves.

There isn't a place where knowledge doesn't exist! ❤

beautifully-stated. 💖

Thank you c:

No matter how productive someone is, the body needs rest.

This is the most common disease of developed countries in this century.

People never stop.

You can think of the million things that can cause your body to break down but you should marvel at how good it is at self repairing.

Thank you for sharing. Your writing is incredible.

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him...

I used to try to impose my way of thinking into people too, I had this urge to try and fix their outlook in life, to try and change their religion, telling them to stop following their stupid fairy tale cult, the whole teenage atheist cringy thing.

These days.... not anymore really, It was a pretty unhealthy and egotistical way of thinking. These days I just let it go and don't really care about it, I live and let live.

Practising that wisdom with ourselves.

Couldn't agree more with this statement, There are other ways to positively influence other people's lives without having to impose your ideas onto them or your advice that may or may not really for their current situation.

The fragility of life itself... one of tree best ways to trick your mind into feeling it directly is trying to imagine how it felt to not be born, it's not something a lot of people can do, not imagining how been death feels like but imagining how do you felt before existing, I know it sounds weird but everyone should try it once in a while.

This was just what I needed to read today...thank you so

I struggled a lot before, and I used to give out advice to people while I was in that state. I don't know if it meant that I didn't take my advice or that my advice was useless, but at that time I really believed that it was just a case of not looking deep into myself but looking deep enough into others to be able to help them.

I still don't know if my advice was bad, but I know that I've gotten better over time. They key was to look into myself. As you say, the same advice doesn't work the same for everyone because everyone has a different situation. I think that the solution is to stare deep into yourself and analyse your situation. Then you may be able to come to it.

Just like you found spirituality, I think that the thought of anarchy and freedom were what helped me overcome the expectancies I had for others. I used to feel anxious about society and the future, but now I've learned to accept it all and my state of mind is much better. I'm now learning to fix all the problems I'd kept in for years of denial.

You speak a lot in parables i must say, you toss me up and down and i later got the story. I still enjoy your article and i must say since some days now, i didnt see any good post on steemit that can match your wave.

Truth be told, there is no one on heart that dont have challenges from what i have come to noticed. Do you know i always say the rich have no problem not until my uncle told me about how he met a very rich man dress up in a lovely garment and the man is driving a car worth millions while My uncle was walking . The man asked my uncle for permission after addressing the man, my uncle voiced this out thinking the man didnt hear. He said i wish am this man, and the man called him back and opened his chest and he told him, did you see this big scar, you want to be like me, did you want this scar, do you know with this i cant shout, i cant sing aloud, i can sleep well, i cant do a lot because of this pain, I guess you still want to he like me? my uncle shouted Oh! no. So you can see we all have Problem.

like me i have been avoiding problem, trying not to get into issues, not until life brought me into an encounter i never planned for. Not knowing the Property i bought Wasnt theirs not just as you know they now asking me yo pay more for this new property which you have been helping me and seeing me through. Now you can see life has it own plan, no man is free, it is only With death we can sat we are free. We just need grace to enjoy this world.

am truly sorry for this below message

I'm still doing pretty good. (Although the challenge has compounded since a surf accident that resulted in an occasional pinched nerve)

Please check your discord for my message

Understanding one self is the ultimate key to success. (be it health wise or financially)

There are indeed some curse that comes with its own blessings.
It is imperative therefore to learn how to manage those curses and bring out more of the blessings that come with it.

More time should be spend on discovering ourselves and body mechanisms.

I am not a fan of following other people's routines, I only pick some vital points and stuffs just to better myself.

Thanks for this great article @rok-sivante
