My Life Is So Bad/Good Right Now
- May 16
- 6 min read
I am doing all of this… I am creating all of this…
I might not be conscious of all I’m doing and creating, just as I’m not presently conscious of causing my heart to beat and my body temperature to regulate or the war in Iran to continue, I am choosing to identify with the ALL THAT IS as a Creator and Master instead of a simple conscious body-mind victim of it all…
I can choose to identify either way. Why way allows me to feel better and move forward? As a victim or as a Creator Of It All?
If my body temperature rises to stamp out an infection, I might not be doing that consciously, but I’m glad it’s happening, that regulation is happening, that some part of me knows how to do this and is doing it. Likewise, if the world temperature rises, metaphorically or literally, in one part of the world or all over the world, it too is to stamp out some infection that in the bigger picture could take down the whole world. I might not be doing that consciously, but I’m glad it’s happening, that regulation is happening, that some part of Me Knows How To Do This and Is Doing It…
Who am I identified with?
Does that identification allow me to feel my Best?
If I, the lesser of Me, gets angry at something I, the All of Me, am doing or has done, it simply creates conflict within Me. It doesn’t feel good.
If I welcome it instead, I remain in Harmony. All Is Good. I continue to explore that the All of Me Knows What Its Doing and Is Doing It, Only Always…
Every bit of unhappiness and illness comes from the small I arguing with the Big I…
Every bit of unhappiness and illness comes from me arguing with Me—with Reality, with What Is, with All That Is and All I Truly Am…
What if “I” Really Do Know What I’m Doing?
It’s not about ending the Game as soon as possible. It never was! You chose to enter this Game for infinite reasons and You will continue to Play the Game for as long as YOU Wish.
It’s About Enjoying the Game As Much As Possible All Along the Way!!!
And the Best Way To Enjoy The Game Is To Quit Fighting Against It…
You Are In The Simulation. You Are In The Game. That’s Not Changing Until It Does. You, the small you, have no control over it. You, the Infinite You, Has Total Control Over It and Is Choosing To Keep Playing the Game…
The Game may seem to suck right now but really that is just the small you judging This Amazing Creation as bad and thus you experience it as bad. The “bad” lenses you are wearing by believing what you are believing, that it’s bad or worse yet that it’s all bad, are causing you to have bad experiences.
“My life is so bad right now.” Boom! You as the Infinite Creator You Are just created more of “life being bad.” Here it comes!
Everything you see and experience around you IS YOUR CREATION. Yours and only yours!
Now you can be bummed out by that and see it as an unscalable wall you will never climb OR you can start climbing by asking, “Is it true?”
Is my life so bad right now?
Can I absolutely know my life is bad right now? With no good at all? Or with more bad than good?
Am I sure of that?
Bad compared to what or who or when? What criterion am I using?
Is my life absolutely bad right now?
[Hint: if it were absolutely bad, you’d just blip out of existence, well, out of existence in this dimension.]
Do I want to keep creating that by continuing to believe that? Especially when it’s not true? Can’t be true?
What if my belief in it really is what keeps creating the experience of it?
Do I want to keep giving weight to such beliefs?
What happens when I believe my life is so bad right now?
My mind starts listing examples. I have this continuous pain in my side I just can’t figure out. I still need a dentist appointment. I’m behind on editing videos. My business isn’t growing in the ways I thought it would. I’m still largely a hermit but I feel I would like to find some friends again, especially local friends. I want to find a new home but don’t know where to look and quite frankly don’t want to move all alone again to some new place.
And what happens as you list all those “bad” things?
I get more and more depressed, more and more upset. The light seems to dim more and more. I begin to examine the past and link all of these to the past and other beliefs like “things never go right for me” making it all feel even heavier and denser. I get angry at God, at the world, at my karma, at my stupidity. Everything feels worse and worse. I start to spiral down yet more.
[Now, to be honest, I had to imagine all of that. It is very hard for me to believe my thoughts these days, let along get dragged down into a spiral of depression. I was just play-acting so you could follow along.]
Who would I be in this moment without that thought that my life is so bad?
I’d notice I’m sitting here in a calm, quiet, safe environment. I’m well-fed. I’ve got air conditioning on a hot day. I see beautiful green trees and a lovely blue sky out my windows. I’m seated in a rather comfortable chair. I have the option to simply drop into Pure Being almost any time I want to and am doing so Now.
Stillness…
Peace…
Yes, there are still things to be done. There are still challenges. There are still more thoughts and feelings locked away in my unconscious that are affecting what I’m creating as my reality.
And yet there’s This: Quiet Peace and a sense of Okayness…
Let’s just Rest in This for a Bit… … …
The Turnaround
As Byron Katie would say, “Let’s try the turnaround of the original belief ‘My life is so bad right now.’”
My life is so good right now!
Is that at least as true if not truer than “My life is so bad right now”?
Name at least three examples of how “My life is so good right now.”
I have no debt. My bills are all paid. I even have some savings in a variety of financial instruments.
I have easy access to nature, to biking and hiking and simply sitting in my backyard watching all the animals and birds active in the river that runs along the property.
My life is so good right now. I have relatively good health—far better than the majority at my age. I require no prescriptions and rarely even use any supplements. I enjoy an abundance of wonderful, tasty, healthy food that is easy to procure.
Overall, I live like a king with infinite music, videos, books, articles, news, information, entertainment, etc. at my fingertips, day and night. I have computers, phones, tablets and smart devices around me all the time automating a great deal of my life and providing much enjoyment.
I have extremely consistent access to water, food, electricity, internet, comfort, etc.
I have many, many, many options in life. So many options…
I have Awareness of My Self, of ALL THAT IS, of my Divine Beloved, of Infinite States of Being, of Divine Love Consciousness…
I have Awareness of the Game… And My Choosing To Be In It… Until I Choose to Leave It… And the Option To Enjoy It As Long As I Am Here… Or to fight against it and become depressed—to take on the role of being a victim once more…
I Am As I Am…
"Who I Am" Is Expressing As This, All Of This, Including You As Another Aspect Of Me Reading This and Me As Another Aspect Of You Writing This…
And now arising within is a signal to go empty my bladder and otherwise get up and move about a bit.
How Wonderful That I’m Always Being Shown What’s Next!
Infinite Blessings!
[Note: the inspiration for much of this comes from Byron Katie’s method of self-inquiry called “The Work.” It’s available for free at https://thework.com and I highly, highly recommend it. I’ve been doing The Work since 2010—quite intensively for many years and as needed these days.]
