Ask yourself what is missing from your self and your life?

This can be a difficult question for some of us to answer.  Some of us haven't done enough introspection to begin to analyze themselves and their lives on a deeper level to try to figure out what is missing. Some people are simply to busy or too overwhelmed with life's to do's to have taken the time to take a long hard objective look inward at themselves and their lives. Others among us have great longing and a sense of emotional upheaval when they do attempt to ponder what is missing in themselves and their lives.

It is however a most important question to ask oneself. It is important to take the time, as our time in this life is limited we owe it to ourselves, and to endure the pain of introspection on this question as the pain is unavoidable even if you avoid the question. In avoiding trying to discover what is truly missing in oneself and in ones life they end up missing having it in their life and this too causes pain. At least the pain of enduring and endeavoring to find an answer to this question provides the possibility of enduring limited pain and a potentially far more fulfilling life with the possible realization of what is missing.

It's also important when asking yourself this question that you go deep not superficial such as money and new cars. Think of what you feel you must have must experience in order to feel as though you are complete and have lived a full life.

Asking the question not only opens the door for the possibility of having the true need manifest in your life: and self rather than leading a life without ever having received or even attempted to receive those true needs; it prevents you from blindly often unconsciously seeking other things misguidedly attempting to fill the holes inside yourself and life.

If we have needs that are not being met we feel as though their is a hole in our soul and we risk the propensity to reach out to unhealthy means to mask and fill that hole inside of us. Be it over eating over working overindulgence of any kind or worser afflictions such as addictions frivolous spending pleasure seeking: or the reverse folding in upon oneself in anxiety depression insecurity aggression: weather we act out or act in nothing but the true need can fill the whole that resides inside of you and inside of your life.

If we miss out on seeking an answer for what we truly need we miss out on finding it and risk filling the holes in our hearts and lives with self destruction and drama that creates itself more problems and discomfort. If you find yourself acting out or acting in you may indeed be trying to cover and fill wholes that need tending. The problems are superficial even if serious they are not the source of your pain.

So I urge you whatever your age or stage in life to ask yourself , in this one and only life we get to experience what is it that you NEED in yourself and in your life. Seek the true deep answer and then seek to attain fulfilling that need with the real piece of your soul you can't be content without. You will find great peace in the least in understanding yourself and your actions better and in the process of trying to fulfill the need properly and at best you may indeed find what you seek.
