I am Mary

The real meaning of Christ's birth .

Blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."

The word "Mary " means water and water is the truth of pychological mysteries.

The birth of christ was a mystery for it was from a Virgin. The Bible always has two meanings The other pychological meaning for this is Christ, the saviour , was birthed without "aid of a man"

I am Mary and you are Mary too .

.Two people. Same question. Completely opposite answers. And one of them reveals everything about why money won't fix what's broken.

The question was : If you were financially free, how would you live?

Person 1 said they are already financially free. They wake up, tend their garden, knead dough for fresh bread, and look for ways to serve their community.

Person 2 said they would buy a remote island in the Caribbean and disappear. Get away from people because most people aren't nice and don't even try.

Here's what stopped me:

You can almost tell who's actually free by their answer. And counterintuitively, it's probably not Person 2.

Here's the uncomfortable truth:

When you don't have money, it's easy to believe it will solve everything. You put it on a pedestal and convince yourself that once you have it, you'll finally be happy. You'll finally be free.

But there's a documented phenomenon in psychology called hedonic adaptation: we think external changes will transform us, but our baseline happiness tends to revert unless we change internally first.

Person 1 already figured this out. They found meaning in small rituals, in contribution, in connection. Money didn't create that mindset .

Person 2 is still running from something. And here's the thing about islands: you take yourself with you. Like one buddhist monk famously told a spritual seeker:“ what you find at the top of the mountain is what you take there “

Unpopular opinion: The second person isn't wrong for wanting to escape they're just treating the symptom instead of the disease.

Be honest: Which person's answer sounds more like yours right now? And what does that tell you about what you're actually searching for?

Speak low ,if you speak love.
Shakespeare

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen king

Kuna a certain book, it's called MY STRUGGLE.
I think it made it to New York Times 100 essential books of the 21st century.
in that book is a this line that for some reason speaks to many people :
"You might have everything I have even more, but you don't have my struggles "
However ,that line speaks to me for a different reason .
Since I began to understand how delicate people are ,I become more gentle . Perhaps its the quality called empathy( people come to that through different routes but deep reading certainly will make you more empathetic).

Additionally , my struggle reminds me of this line from to kill a mocking bird that :
you never really understand a person till you have crawled under their skin ,walked in their shoes .
Takeaway : if you can embrace your struggles, whatever they might be with love. And knowing that many battles ( struggles)come branded with individual names . You most certainly can create a beautiful life for yourself.
And won't that be wonderful?

keep a journal . It's one of the most underrated things as far as wellness goes.
so what do you journal about ?
you day ,anything that just comes up . That's the tip .Write without thinking .
