Why Suffering?

by JaneEllen Sexton

You know kids, I think somewhere along the way we all got some screwed up message that taught us to believe that good little girls and boys get to heaven by “paying dues”.  I’m convinced that this programming really represents a connection to suffering.  Well, I’m here to say NO Flippin’ WAY to that one!  I catch myself buying into my own sense of suffering especially when I’m not feeling so good about me.  The point I want to make here is real simple….spend as much of your conscious moments buying into how fabulous you are…even when you’re not sure you are fabulous because we’re all making this life up as we go along anyway.  Give yourself the support you deserve. Don’t wait for the support to show up from someone or somewhere outside of you.  Tag you’re it, y’all!  Conditions are always ripe for a good hug within, so please let yourself give it….it, being the hugs to you.  It can be so easy to do this life and the times when we feel challenges are solely that…a challenge.  But when you hold on and give yourself a smooch the challenges absolutely disappear through your willingness to choose love.  That goofy, codependent expression (you know the one that gives you cavities!?)  “all you need is love’” couldn’t be more true especially when it feels like you’re suffering through your day.  Don’t do it!  Give it up and give in to a long slow deep breath….that’s the LOVE.  Ahhhhhh!

Give in to this….one scoop strawberry ice cream, one scoop vanilla ice cream and a chocolate covered shortbread cookie. Now… please  don’t go buying some down & dirty brand.   If you’re going to do this really, really,  make it worth the effort, OK?  Go on, go ahead…you can do it!  It’s friday night, knock yourself out! Ain’t no suffering here!  The treats on you….you little cutie!
