Down Under, Where It Really Counts

Often, when dealing with a headache, we try to ease the symptoms, rather than getting at the headache's real cause.

We can do better. Here's how.

First, of course, we must identify the real problem, which is not as difficult as we may have first thought. For example, a bad headache may have as its root cause an issue with someone to whom we wise to relate, like to a spouse, son, daughter, or another acquaintance.

The relative or acquaintance may be unaware of our desire to connect'. So. our first step is to make that desire clear. If they don't know about it, we likely have been making bad usage of our time and energies

Secondly, to continue with our example, we may need to improve our ability to mold a close relationship. Sometimes, the troublesome fact is: we simply are not friendly; we don't reach out, we fail to do the things that make others want to be close to us.

I must know everything I possibly can about the person with whom I wish to relate. Does he or she have financial problems? Does he or she really know who I am? Does he or she know the necessity of having meaningful relationships. If the answers are negative, I can be much more positive about getting to know the individual better. Yes, you and I, we all have that ability.

I can love life, I can love humanity, I can love the wonderful world of nature. Indeed, I can love all of life. Thus, I am well prepared to confront successfully all the problems that may come my way. the same is true for you, for all of us.

God bless.
