Life is difficult, unfortunately most people make life much more difficult by making bad decisions based on a flawed thinking process. This is controlled by feelings and emotions instead of logic and reason. The result is the creation of a dysfunctional journey. This is characterized by a loss of purpose, meaning, hope and love and this is a life never lived. Sadly, people do not know how to change their living process and most then mood alter to relieve their misery. However, our naughty mood altering behaviors become addictions and the our decision-making is controlled by our addictions. Not a good thing because we sacrifice our sense of self and our loving relationships. Life then becomes an empty experience. This dysfunctional living process is caused by a flawed thinking process that is formed and shaped during our childhood. We can change our direction in life by learning to create a healthy self-definition an learning to create a healthy thinking process. This will get one to develop a self-responsibility and learn how to love our self and other. Then we can create meaning, purpose, love and hope as we get on a spiritual journey.
