Sticking a Knife in My Eye

Sticking a Knife in My Eye

In 2005, I began to have severe cluster headaches to the point where I felt like someone was sticking a knife in my eye. No matter what I did, including seeking help from doctors and pleading with God to take the pain away, the pain only increased. Even prescribed strong painkillers could not alleviate the pain. I felt hopeless and ready to give up. My religious upbringing made me think that it was God’s punishment in my life, because inside I felt like a failure who had disappointed God.

Love Removes Selfishness

Selfishness makes us smaller, more protective and unwilling to share. Such small-mindedness impedes our ability for real success. But when our dreams are for the benefit of others, they have intrinsic power to turn water to wine (happiness and satisfaction), and sawdust to gold (wealth without greed).

Embracing Your Flaws

Intrinsic power resides in love. When you are awakened to unconditional love, it has a profound ability to alter your life. It gives you power to accept yourself, embrace your flaws, and navigate your path to the place of ultimate satisfaction, contentment and success. The insecurity that whispered that I am not enough turns to an inner confidence that I am enough and all things are possible.
