Take a tropical storm as an example. It comes, does its work and passes away. A sensible person doesn’t fight the storm as he / she knows it will pass and to just stay safe as much as they can.
Similarly, you are going through an emotional storm. Many questions and thoughts are going to come into your mind and will batter you around. They will try to raise more questions and uncertainty in your mind as that’s what a storm does. A sensible Belle will just let these questions and thoughts and emotions pass through as she knows everything is temporary just like sun, moon, night, day, rain, birth, death, sorrows, happiness, bad times, good times, etc.
The confusion and loneliness is not here to stay either. Let it do its job and pass. You just stay centred and don’t resist any of it. If tears flow, let them flow. If pain comes, let it flow. If you want to shout, do so. If you want to laugh, do so. It will get easier as days pass by. Find some family or friend support for a listening ear if required.
Hang in there.

I agree the pain is quite immense now so you wont be able to see any blessings. Let this pain and tears flow until you have none left. Then come back on TB in a few days and we can come up with a list of blessings that have emerged out of this event :). I can already see many blessings and assure you that you will see them too but once the acute pain is out of your system.
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantThanks everyone.
Hi @christiebell Belle
I am so sorry for the pain you are going through right now. Please know you are not alone in this.
Some relationships are not meant to be for life long. It is better to let them go and find peace in your heart that better and more fulfilling relationships are on the way.
Do not let anyone (and I am mean anyone) ever dictate your state of happiness. You are on a journey and people will come and go out of our lives just to teach us a valuable lesson – To accept self as we are and to do the same to others and to offer unconditional love to self and others. If you can do that, you are moving ahead. If you cant, you will get stuck in the rut until you get kicked again in a hard way to move forward. Choice is truly in your hands.
Be kind to yourself young lady.

You are moving away from your mission, mate. Can you just let things be ? When we become too stuck to the result of an action, life runs away from us and takes us back to where we started.
Can you please have faith in my faith that you will find a lovely partner to share all your happiness with. Just go with the flow and stop getting so attached to the outcomes. Enjoy the journey and leave the rest to the nature as it will only give you the best if you let it.
Enjoy being you NOW and in this moment and when you are able to do that, not many happy and secure women will be able to stay away from you 🙂
Hope you find the patience to enjoy your existence and let life flow as its meant to. All the dots will connect.
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantThanks Inky
Hi @sunflower Sarah Jane
I am so sorry for your suffering. I am sending you heaps of positive energy and hope your path ahead will be illuminated and you will receive all the help you need to lessen this suffering.
Attached is a link of a youtube video on pain. It will come handy for you as it explains the true nature of pain in scientific terms.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWMKucuejIs
Please note that at higher consciousness, chronic pain signifies that something in life is not working right or you are not going in the right direction for where you chose yourself to be before taking birth. Could you please do some reflection and see if you have any unresolved issues from childhood or with your close relationships ? Perhaps, a session with a good hypnotherapist or an energy healer might help to bring those unresolved issues to the shore and help you work through them. Everyones mission in this life is to become unconditional love. We love ourselves as we are and we love others as they are.
Best wishes and may you get the strength to find YOU and love yourself the way you are.
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantThanks Matt and Inky
Howdy @islandgirl Lorraine
I am sorry that this has happened to you. Please know that this incident is not about you or your character or what you have done wrong or right etc. This action, if you choose to call it a passive aggressive behaviour, is a reflection of who that person is.
People do all sorts of weird things due to their own experiences, wiring of their mind and emotional states. If you were to try and understand each of those, you would go nuts. The best way forward is to accept each person as they are and leave it at that. You move ahead knowing that you have learnt a valuable lesson – “I will not let other people’s actions determine my state of being or happiness; I am who I am and I am working on getting better each day in my own ways (Full Stop)”.
Please know that every person on this planet is as unique as it gets. There is only one Lorraine on this planet and vice versa for others. Everyone has their own journey or path to follow. The only common thing between each of one is us that we can choose to help each other out on the journey or we can make this journey as difficult as possible for self and others. Choice is truly in your hands.
Best wishes and may you emerge stronger and more loving / kind from this incident.
You are worth it 🙂
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3Participant@Jasmine-3ParticipantHey Anyone
It is good to feel grateful 🙂 However, sometimes people are not ready to hear how grateful we are for them. When such a situation occurs, offer your gratitude in your heart and trust me it will reach that person. Once you fill yourself with love and gratitude, you will not feel any resistance from the other person (no matter how much ready she is not to move on).
But please don’t get sucked back into the drama of this relationship when things get better. Because if you do, you will be back to square one lol
Keep moving forward and offer gratitude for everything in your heart. The vibrations of positive energy travel faster than words or actions 🙂 Try it before you buy this.

@Jasmine-3ParticipantHi Anyone
You are feeling bad as you have a firmly held belief that her state of being or happiness is dependent on your state of being.
Separate the 2 of you and you will realise one thing: you are responsible for your state of mind and happiness and others are responsible for theirs. We are not responsible for each others state of being. Once you start practicing this and make “yourself” as the priority in your life, you wont go wrong and wont harbour guilt or bad feelings ever.

@Jasmine-3Participanthey Matt @amatt and Inky @inky
Matt, the poem was written on May 25 and we are in August now. It appears that you didnt see it before and thats why the delayed response from your end.
I am sorry for your suffering in the past and can now understand the intention behind each of your posts.
Hey, I think you both may have misunderstood each other. Let it be 🙂
I apologise to you both as it was me who had triggered Inky to write a funny poem.
BIG HUG FOR YOU BOTH. Let the karmic account settle now, pls.
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantThanks Brytt
Hi Danielle @danielledeleo
No worries.
Hey, only you know what the real truth is about your situation so do what is best for you. One thing that I can observe from your current and past posts (previous threads) is that your words and feelings / thoughts are in conflict. Now, you need to figure out why your mind is playing such tricks with you and how you are going to help yourself.
If I were you, I would read Brytt’s post very carefully again in a couple of weeks. There is a powerful message in there for you 🙂
Best wishes and take care. You are worth it all 🙂
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantThanks Danielle and Matt 🙂
Hi Echo @gammatrees
Thanks for your post.
I had to meditate a little after reading your words as I felt conflicted initially.
Despite the autism, ?brain damage, history of significant abuse and trauma and seizures, you come across as a highly intelligent person. If I was to put myself in your situation, I would have probably broken down many years ago and be in as an involuntary patient in a psychiatric institution somewhere. You have done really well !!!! Hearty Congrats 🙂
I think there is nothing in this world, which can break you now. So have no fear. Keep enjoying a happy existence with your BF.
Yes, some people can be very nasty in this world but we often do not know the full story as to why such things happen. I think life is a lot deeper than what it appears to be on the surface.
I have learnt that when life keeps winning at throwing curve balls at us one after the other, there is a huge lesson to be learnt. Until we learn the lesson, the curve balls wont stop coming and often they increase in frequency as we continue to move away from the path. I am not sure as to what you need to learn but you can do some introspection and try to figure it out. There is a pattern to these events and that might give you a clue for where the change needs to occur. You need to be honest with yourself. Many times, we tell the world a different story so as to protect ourselves but then that takes us away from the path even more.
My teacher tells me that when we wish to lessen our suffering, we should start doing selfless service. Any selfless service will do but the most rewarding service is to feed or look after small children (orphaned, homeless, poverty stricken etc) or homeless animals. This activity generates a huge amount of positive karma and has a potential to turn things around quickly. Could you look into doing something like this ? Go and volunteer at the Salvos or some orphanage and give loads of love to these kids. You can volunteer at an animal shelter and care for the animals there.
And consider the suggestions made by Matt about becoming a part of local community, which attracts kinder people.
Give yourself and your BF a big hug.
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantThanks The Ruminant @theruminant
What a great thought you have had. Go for it 🙂 You will do well.
I will share my perspective here and see if it resonates with you.
You can start any business whenever you feel like once you have done your homework and weighed down your pros and cons clearly and rationally. Now coming back to people. You will find people in any job, yeah ? Some tasks require more dealings with people and some require less. However, you can’t avoid people (mean, critical, selfish, nice, happy, considerate, etc) in any job.
To avoid ego clashing when 2 people come together is quite easy. I like your thought of seeing yourself as the vessel for the light or divine grace to pass through to others. If every action of yours is done with an intention to bring good to people in some form or other, real success won’t be too behind.
When we judge ourselves, we project our judgments onto others as we start seeing some bits of us in others that we do not like OR on the other hand, subconsciously, we want people to behave in a way that we see as appropriate based on our conditioning. If we don’t like something or something doesn’t agree with us, it triggers off a chemical upheaval in our brain followed by a sub optimal chain of reactions. However, if you are only the vessel for knowledge to pass through and not the DOER yourself, you will find that your judgement of self will slowly wither away. And wah lah, other people will stop bugging you with their personalities, grievances, hurts as you do not see them as an annoyance anymore. You are able to maintain your inner peace and quiet and as such have less reactions and less drainage of good energy.
I deal with a lot of not so happy or grateful people in my day to day work. This used to bother me for years and cause me a lot of anguish but now, I can proudly say that it ain’t so bad. Situation is still the same but I have changed for the better.
I am able to maintain my inner peace even in the most irritating situation. I just take a deep breathe in and visualise the light doing its work through me and get on with the job. When I am just merely a vessel and not the source of knowledge itself, where is the ego clashing ? With less judging and more creating, I have managed to change the type of people I attract in my life as well. The moment they come into my aura or surrounds, they turn from devils into sweet little angels ha ha ha ha ha. If some difficult personality still manages to come through, they usually calm down when they don’t get a reaction from me (both at verbal and body language level). I am able to see them in a different light and don’t get excited by their complaints, grievances or dramas. I just focus on my good work and get rid of the energy debris that I have collected from others by doing meditation as and when required daily. It is like how we take showers for keeping ourselves fresh and clean physically, meditation keeps ME the soul clean by getting rid of negative energy garbage collected with every encounter. It is not people per say who are driving us crazy but the energy they bring with them, which affects our well being and brings out the worst in us. If we know how to deal with this, fears won’t seem as bad and ego clashing will become a secondary issue.
Hope this helps and that someone else can provide you with a solid practical advice rather than my usual spiritual spill lol
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantThanks Clay. I wanted to share this with Danielle and you have articulated it so well 🙂 This is the inner conflict that I was getting around to. Trying to be positive and happy chappy from outside but a completely different video is running inside with thoughts and feelings. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions have such a significant effect on how we perceive our reality.
Thanks Danielle.
I hear you. I am sorry for the sudden job loss and change. You probably are not able to see the blessing as yet but it will come.
Now coming back to the main issue of being stuck in the rut.
Do you love your partner ? Do you see yourself growing old with him, having a family, being there with him in all of his ups and downs ? Be very honest in your feelings as your answer lies in this relationship. Everything else is just a distractor and keeping you away from finding your inner peace.
Is this relationship uplifting you every day ? Are you becoming a better person since you met this individual or do you realise that despite his good and well intended feelings, he is bringing out the bad in you ?
I am not blaming this guy for your stuck-in-the-rut feeling but your issues stem from here. If you can assist further by being openly honest with yourself, I think you stand a great chance to move forward.
Like Matt wrote, spend more ME time and you will come up with the answer to above questions.
And pls, have faith in yourself. You will see the blessing in your sudden job loss and change / letting go of the condo in the very near future. Things ain’t as bad as they appear to be. Your body and mind are just taking some time to adjust to this new unintended change. I believe (strongly) that everything happens perfectly for our highest good. Sometimes, we can’t see the good as our vision is blurred by other underlying issues that need our attention.
Hang in there.
Jasmine
@Jasmine-3ParticipantHa Ha love the brain fart. I have to use this term as well 🙂 Just awesome
Bless your soul.
