Why NOW

Why ME? Why Now? Why - why - why???



Some of the greatest people who ever lived muttered those very words. Yet in the end, understanding "why" never did change a single event. Nor did it offer more than simple words we put together and call it - an explanation. In reality - it is just information. Yet we make it so much more.



Yes it may prove useful to have info in-order not to repeat an event, but does it help me "deal" with the event emotionally - NO!



We seem to think that the more information we have about something the better off we are. I find that it doesn't matter if I have all, or, none of the facts. It is how I take the trip through the situation that matters most, and not the degree of information that I have. I can have all the information ever said, written, or ever thought about; yet still suffer. Funny how that works.

When I come to the realization that the event happened, and see reality, and not my "wishful thinking." I see things as they are. Don't discount the power of reality and seeing things in a way that doesn't add a spin to it. You see it is the "story" about the event we created in our mind that causes our emotional suffering, and not the event. Without a "story" all that is left is an event that has past. The only way we relive it - is in our story!

When I came to this understanding I understood that in many ways I was the one causing me pain. The event had past, but I wouldn't let go of my story. It was in the constant telling and reliving of the story where my pain continued to live. No story - no emotional pain. Every time!

So as you tuck your children off to bed - or - tuck yourself in and drift off to sleep, ask yourself a simple question - Who would you be without your story?

... odds are ... happy.
