@riskorrus: Chosen versus unchosen suffering. This analogy really hit home for me — the idea that your better self is close enough to be heard but not to be touched. It requires a significant amount of work and effort to break down the wall. So you had best get started. Don’t wait until your better self grows old next door. •• #betterself #modernwisdom #riskorrust #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth

It’s you vs you, and one of you has to die

brunorussire :

People come up with such sublime concepts.

InnerVue :

Through self-awareness, we can limit chosen suffering because we see realty around us for what it truly is, not just how we want to see it.

The better you is always waiting for you. You already know how to be better, but the better you is always waiting for you to make that choice.

To the people who don't get it, my take on this is - have you ever been in a situation where worry, anxiety, fear or lack of motivation holds you back from something that you want to do but you dont. as children the dividing line between our minimal and our best self is blurred. thats why children generally make friends easier or try things that they are scared of like jumping off a ledge into a foam pit. as we get older experience and environment makes us cautious, it creates a door. In some instances maybe you need to make a leap of faith in a new job but your scared to leave security or known boundaries for the unknown. Its that moment where you decide actually I am going to go for it and you see that through that your better self in this metaphor would have kicked down the door and lead the way. Your better way chooses to suffer for the better in the long run, whilst our cautious side doesn't necessarily realise they are suffering by staying safe. maybe that job you wanted to leave is impacting your mental health or your work/life balance. You don't think about that every hour of the day, but at the end of the week you do.. and in that moment your better self is coughing trying to make you realise you can do something about this situation but you have to choose it.

amazing quote, gonna hold onto that one

Olivia🇦🇺 :

I chose to better myself, I chose to focus on healing. Because I want those scars, that trauma to die with me, I didn’t want to curse anyone the way I was cursed. So I focus on my triggers, because you have to understand them to manage them. When I want to react instead of responding, I say to myself “if these were my last words, would this be how I want to be remembered?” I want to be remembered for what I am, not what tore me apart. Healing is hard, healing is grief, healing is messy. But we are here to work to be the best version of ourselves, so we go through it, rather than staying stuck
