Today I invite you on a journey through the mind of self-inflicted suffering that can be converted to Success. Before we get started, we must look at what is the root cause of this self-inflicted suffering. In studying many philosophical as well as theological books, then closely observing individuals who were suffering, I couldn’t help but notice that they had one thing in common “Attachment”. The Budda acknowledges this in a very direct manner.

What are some of the things we become “Attached” to?
Past memories that are traumatic.
People we are close to that we lose through separation or death.
Places we believe we belong to.
Things we believe is ours.
Outcomes that don’t align with what we thought would happen.

What is the Bridge that takes us from Suffering to Success?
This bridge is in acceptance of what we cannot change, as well as acknowledging what we can change and then taking action. The willingness to want to change and heal.
Expanding personal growth and development through a commitment to learning and growing.

The last step is setting life Goals and daily Intentions towards the type of life you want to live and becoming the type of person who is committed to future YOU.
