Craving
November 7

Today I recognize that constantly craving things keeps me locked in a cycle of bingeing and purging the stuff of life. The world can only give me so much. My true happiness lies in the realization and communication of my self and my Higher Power. When I think that I need a now car, house or person in order to be happy, I am not recognizing that my real happiness does not depend upon moving the externals of my life around. When I am at peace with myself, I will be able to see clearly what I need to create for satisfaction. I will let go of the feeling that I will only be happy when I give all my power away to things and people outside myself. Contentment is an inside job; until I can feel it within me, nothing I do outside will have a lasting effect.

I see craving as a cycle of self-abuse.
