Meaningless life
Wish I could find a motivating factor to live a full life. So far it has been an unfortunate tragedy of mistakes by others and myself.

Try this koan which illustrates getting rid of baggage - works for me.
Two monks were walking down a road when they came to a river in flood.
Stood by the edge of the river was a pretty girl in a new silk kimono.
The first monk glanced at her and quickly looke away, the second told the to climb on his back, she did and e carried her across, keeping the new kimono dry.
On the other side the monks met up and carried walking.
After a few hours the first monk turned to the second and said,"Brother abot that pretty girl....."
"Brother," interupted the second monk, " I put her down hours ago, why are you still carrying her?"
Leave the past where it belongs - in the past.
Become a new person, change something small about yourself each day and keep changing until you become this new person.

But all the same life is not the same for all and sometimes others get hold of yours and make it tortuous for you. I mean you very own people. Trust is a commodity that is misused in this world. Should we all be evil???

Many have been abused by those who were supposed to love, nurture, guide and empower.
It's important that we who have been abused carry on, forgive, release the abuse, release the violators to Divine.
Then we pick ourselves up, keep forgiving and loving and we make sure that we help others who were abused, those whose trust was violated. We work to keep healing ourselves and we help others to empower and heal themselves
We are the wounded healer, Chiron, We are the ones who have the compassion to understand and help, to find the wounds so they may be healed. We understand how very important it is to give love instead of pain and abuse.
We are the ones who understand that the young ones deserve to be treated well.
Our lives are critical to this world.
Our love is critical to give.
There are many who are willing to love us, who we can trust.
There are many who do understand. More than we would like.
Many who have healed and are living loving lives, nurturing, helping and healing.
You life is important, more important than you know. You have something to share and give that many don't have.
Understanding.![Image](http://www.paganscircles.org/smf/Smileys/pagan/RedHeart.gif)
If I have overstepped your boundaries, please forgive me.

You are not here to suffer
You deserve to be happy, so when you realize that, things begin to happen. You will realize misery is not a natural state and that when you take the time to look around you will find this is really a wonderful world with endless possibilities. You are unique, there is nobody on earth like you, isn't that a marvellous truth. Send out your thoughts to the universe and ask for help, you will get it. No matter what you think about yourself please believe you are a wonderful unique human being and you deserve every happiness. Good luck and God Bless you.
I can relate to that, truth is though that was my past, i made choices that did not create a happy life, i had some personal losses young and probably never learned how to have my own interests at heart.
what i know today is that i am more compassionate because of it, i understand unhappiness so i fully appreciate happiness.
I know that there is always a time where you just feel like nothing will ever go right, but i feel confident in being able to promise you that you will find yourself in a place that feels suspiciously like accomplishment. When you do, you will look back on events and see your own growth, and appreciate your strengths just a little bit more than you would have otherwise.
i wish you well I really do, you know i can see the light that emanates from others, no matter where they are in the world i can see this light if i think about them, i often wish that they could see their own light the way i do .
