Hooked On Healing

Who’s the one who will bring you soup when you’re not feeling well? Soup is like duct tape. It fixes everything. You know what they say: Hungry and thirsty? Soup solves both problems at once.

Do you like your own personality? Maybe you talk too much. Remember the time you stopped talking? Me neither. Uh-oh. I talk too much. I’m socially awkward. Heck, I’m never sure if I’m socially awkward or the person I’m talking to is. Someone just called me normal. I have never been so insulted in my life.

Life is a perpetual journey of acquiring knowledge and life lessons. Have you learned yours? Was it through life experience, from your favorite books, movies, or from others?

You’re so stressed that you’re starting to get on your own nerves? Listen, a good dentist never gets on your nerves. Is your sanity still intact? Do you believe you should always be productive and profitable? Do you feel internal pressure about what you “should” be doing today or with the rest of your life? And needless to say, once you get what you want, life will simply become a fairytale?

What do you suppose our deepest desire is? If you said approval and acceptance, you know that we humans can never get enough. A simple “thank you” from a stranger can literally make your day. Today I am wearing the smile that you left me with the other day. Oh, and don’t forget to thank everyone who posted birthday wishes on your Facebook, making you look a lot more popular than you really are. Heh. But seriously, genuine recognition can make you suddenly feel energized and ready to take on new challenges. It’s human nature to want appreciation for your personal worth and accomplishments.

Sometimes you meet people – and feel bad for their dog. We all know hurtful, harsh, even hateful people. Sad to say, but he may even be a family member or a co-worker. She may be your next-door neighbor. And while we know that being cold-hearted is simply the way they protect themselves from hurt, it is nearly impossible to empathize with them.
