Also should our cover be blown what do we then do? How do we cope living a life that we keep a secret, a secret only because those around us are narrow minded bigots and would judge us based upon their insular and pathetic mind sets. The situation is very real and not as limited as one would think. There are many people living secret lives for all sorts of reasons.

Suppose life had no barriers what would you do? Well life hasn't any barriers unless you are in prison, so why aren't you doing it? Have you given yourself duties and responsibilities to others so you can't or won't go any further in life and if so do you now hide behind them as an excuse as to why you can't do what you would like in this life?
Life can be a bit of a 'bitch' it can also be fabulous too. You do have choices - granted they are not easy, but sometimes there are alternatives that almost allow you to do what you want to do without affecting others. Solutions if you are really interested are there, only those with desire will find them, the rest will procrastinate.

Being out of work is no fun, you can't spend on what you want you are tied to where you are and you can't contribute to society. It is also difficult for many as they are faced with people who are there to help but offer little if nothing because they are not capable of seeing themselves what you seek. To them you need a job, full stop, they don't care what and why and that is where it all breaks down.
There are solutions and opportunities, Governments have targets and that's it they don't care whether you are happy or not as long as you fill a target place so the journey can be lonely. But you can do it and with a good attitude you can make it too.

read by John Rushton
Part of the Life Doctor series
Our relationship with ourselves, life and others is holistic in that it should be harmonious. If it isn't then we get discord and disharmony and then we start to do and think silly things. Our own stability is based upon our perceptions and understandings of life and how we can freely share these with others that mean something to us and similarly we mean something to them.
It's rarely an even balance, however it has to be at a level that sustains meaning otherwise life becomes shallow and hopeless and we lose the plot after that starts and begin making things up, not lies, but scenarios to try and kid ourselves and others that all is well, when it isn't.

Many people are "desperate for love" as if it will solve all their problems, well it won't. It might be a dream come true but it won't change life you have to do that. Those with that "I've got a lot of love to give to the right person" are usually the most selfish as they tend to hold on to love and not give it to others, hence they are usually forever single.
If you can't love others then you will be constantly seeking that "illusive" person that exists only in your mind. The more you love others the more love will flow freely within you and vice versa, the more the target your love the more you will alienate yourself. Anything done is desperation has ready made flaws. Yes it's good to have that special person but life is holistic and that comes with others baggage too, it's not just about you. If you don't think things through or have an idealistic view on life then you are going to be constantly disappointed.

Spirituality is brandished about today as an almost surrogate stance for God. For people that have a foot in both camps - just in case. When they don't want to commit to a religion it is fashionable to say "I'm Spiritual" or worse still "I believe in the Universe" whatever that means.
But spirituality isn't what most people think it is and it is definitely nothing to do with "New Age" stuff in fact nothing is. New Age is for the lost and bewildered. This audio-book tells about Spirituality and what it means.

Attitude is everything. People will view us, judge us, accept us, reject us, help us, keep away from us, want us as friends, want to steer clear of us just based upon our attitude. Our Attitude is a culmination of who we are, it's in fact part of our "Shop Window" it also reflects us as people, so if it is shoddy then that is how people will see you.
Don't forget other people have a life which predominantly doesn't include you, so if you want others to help you or befriend them then if you give off the wrong signals then you have from the first moment lost the opportunity.

There is much made about death / bereavement, but there shouldn't be because whatever you do or don't do after the death of someone no matter how close it is not going to make any difference whatsoever. Nor does a demonstration of opulence and grandeur show any more love than a single bunch of flowers other than appease your own ego. Turning up to a funeral of someone who you haven't seen for years is hypocritical unless you are a celebrity and then its justified exposure. Life is for the living not the dead, that will com to us all eventually.
The pomp that religions dress up services with is rubbish, if you are drowned at sea or eaten by a lion does that mean that God wont know? Of course it doesn't. And if you are an atheist then who cares you're a mistake anyway so you've gone back to bone meal for tomorrow's flowers.

Emotional hurt is what we get when our minds are not at peace with life or what is discordant within us. It expresses itself differently in everyone. However the bottom line is much of the hurt we perceive is down to ourselves.
We cannot take hurt on board unless we allow it to happen regardless of the content or who said what or what has happened.

Ethnicity & Religion

Part of the Life Doctor series
Religion is a man made construct, our ethnicity is who we are from a source point of view, colour, creed, mentality, location, etc. It is often intermingled and here lies the problem for many where repression as opposed to freedom is the norm.
God is pure love, but is your God pure love. This is discussed. People can be evil in themselves yet call themselves religious and by their own thoughts "good people" whereas in realty they are anything but.
Ethnicity can bring with it traditions and outmoded cultures that hinder and stagnate lives as opposed to giving them meaning and credence. Many who associate with various religions and their ethnicity often do so through indoctrination and by default suffer accordingly.

We all get upset from time to time. It happens when people do things to us when we wouldn't have done the same to them. When we get bad service from our bank or other company, it happens everywhere. Then there are those useless politically correct morons who are forever getting upset or offended because they can't get to grips with free speech and that others have different views than they have.
We need to understand why we get upset and what we can do about it, just sitting there wallowing in your own negative juice isn't going to help nor solve anything. Our own attitude and feelings need to be appeased and understood and we need to similarly see the bigger picture and incorporate your own worth and value in that. So many people get upset and make an issue out of it as it plays on their ego, they don't respect themselves and thus get caught up in a spiral of anger and upset.

Mental Health today is becoming a big issue. It can manifest itself in a whole manner of guises and with the exception of clinical disorders one can usually and very successfully self remedy the situation. Talking yourself into a depression shouldn't be on the agenda yet many do just that then wonder why they are like they are. There are other types of mental anguish that people get into and it is aligned to how they feed their minds and the detritus they gloat over in glossy magazines and cheap gossip columns.
What we say and do we get feedback from ourselves so subliminally we get caught up in our own demise and then fuels even more negativity or places aspects of life beyond where you can reach it all and thus a degree of morbidity ensues.

Love is that element in life that we need to make it wholesome and full of meaning. We need to love and be loved, for if we are not we have a void within us that won't ever be quenched. Even if one chooses to be single there is usually a significant few that make it all worthwhile. There are many aspects of love as it literally consumes all areas of our life especially when we are under pressure or feeling low. Love is a healing, comforting, stabilizing presence within us.
Where love is evil isn't and where love is we feel more of the hope and ability to endure what we are going through than those who seek to flaunt love for material or selfish reasons. One should never ever overrule love it is there for a purpose and it never runs out. The more love you give to others the more it is replenished.
