I'm Doing Everything I'm Supposed To Do...Why Am I Not Happy All the Time?

You can't be a loving force, you can't be spiritual or a higher vibration if you reject anything that is its opposite. Can you GROCK that? That holding this, "I am so mellow. I only hang with people who are nice and calm..." is a form of repression? Is holding BACK your vibration and growth?


I agree with Jed McKenna (author of "Spiritual Enlightenment: It's the Damnedest Thing") who says if you're being spiritual and practicing spirituality to feel good always...then you are a bliss junkie. You're nothing but an addict! He considers that morally GROSS. I honestly get and LOVE that he blew that lie open.




If you find that you can't TRULY enjoy happy times---you kinda feel it, but not like you imagined---and that you can't really feel PRESENT at things like getting married or having a child (it wasn't as powerful as you were told), that's because you RESIST and suffocate those feelings like sadness, anger, lust, etc.

You can't close off one spectrum without closing off the other.

Worried you might cry for three straight days if you let it all in? Worried you can't get off anti-depressants or you'll start throwing plates?

Well, cry for three days. Throw some fucking plates.

The type of people that can say that to you are the ones you need to seek out now. Stop going to spiritual satsangs and Unity Church and joining groups that give you fluffy bullshit advice like, "Always feel love and be positive..." They are merely uncomfortable with your REALNESS, your humanness. They haven't gone there yet. You're too true. You're scaring them with your courage.


If anyone has read about awakening/enlightenment and wonders why they haven't "gotten it" yet, it's for this reason: You gotta walk through a river of shit---willingly----and then you get the "reward." I put "reward" in quotes, because let me tell you right now: It is NOT eternal bliss. It is NOT.

Are you sure you want that? You may want to stay asleep. You may actually be HAPPIER more often, if you don't push your true nature.

And with this entry, I've decided to launch an entire blog on ANGER. Please click here to see the first entry.

Work Stress Quiz - Check For Burnout




Burnout (now often called "Compassion Fatigue") occurs when passionate, committed people become deeply disillusioned with a job or career from which they have previously derived much of their identity and meaning. It comes as the things that inspire passion and enthusiasm are stripped away, and tedious or unpleasant things crowd in.





This tool can help you check yourself for burnout. It helps you look at the way you feel about your job and your experiences at work, so that you can get a feel for whether you are at risk of burnout.
