Woke up in a funk this morning. Was having the sweetest of dreams that brought back some guilt that I've been trying to deal with for a few years now. It's more so the "what if's" that are the killer.
I just need to wake up a bit more. Last night, I was really needing my puppy. She always helps me sleep and gives kisses at the right moment. She's such a crazy goof. I miss squeezing her so hard and snuggling with her under my blanket (she's the only other person who will go near it besides me.) Hoping that I will be able to see her soon and take her for a W-A-L-K.
Been doing some reflecting. Then I ruin it by assuming. I need to stop, take a deep breath and let it be. I know I can get over this selfishness, and believe me, I already have started. Feeling very anxious about therapy and everything I'll learn.
Lesson #2: Don't strive to make others happy because it makes you happy. Do it because it makes them happy.
"I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed." Dalai Lama
