Living from love rather than the lie of lack

Living from love.

Focusing our eyes on Jesus, not on ourselves.

Living from the lie of lack.

Living from the lie lack will cause you to never feel complete.
If I felt like I had enough would I be searching for things that could make me "better"? Wanting to become better is different than desiring growth. Situations and things experience "better", however, humans (as living things) experience growth. A sapling is still a tree, but a dog will never become a bear. Growth acknowledges the identity that is already yours and the life you choose to embrace. Better implies that you are a "thing", that you are not good, and that you need to be REplaced.

Living from the lie of lack will cause you to never feel like you have enough or are enough.
The best sales strategy is to create a sense of "I don't have" or "I am not" within a person. If someone/thing can convince you that you are missing something in your life than that same person/thing can then proceed to tell you how they can be or provide the thing that you are missing. When you feel like you have enough and are enough the real things you learn and receive from things and others in life are simply reaffirmations of what you already have and what you already are. It's an experience of unlocking of joy within yourself that will allow you to appreciate life for what it really is.

Living from the lie of lack will drain everything and everyone around you.
When you don't have what you need for life, you will seek to get it from other and from things.

Conclusion

You simply were not made to look and evaluate yourself by what you see and come to an accurate conclusion about yourself.

The judgments you think about yourself will not contain itself to just you, you will be silently judging (or admiring) others by the same criticism you use against yourself. This is why when you judge another you are also condemning yourself by establishing a standard for a human to be measured by.

Self-analysis + judgement = criticism = Behavior analysis of another + judgement = condemnaiton.

Self-awareness illuminates the things and lies of this world that may be preventing you from experiencing the beauty that is yourself.
