494: One of the Biggest Causes of Personal Suffering

It is not the event that causes the suffering. You suffer because you make all kinds of meaning around things that don't need to have extra meaning to them. Ask yourself: *What's the truth? *Where am I making up unnecessary, unworkable, and disempowering meaning? *Am I making up unnecessary meaning in my life that's causing me to suffer? *Am I making up a story about who I am or who I'm not or what I have or what I don't have or why I couldn't possibly go do the required actions to get what I want? Change your story, change the meaning, and stop making up meaning.
