What Fuels You? Pain, Love

In the early years of every individual, perception shaped, narratives are created and stored,  the core of existence develops onwards, though life experiences differs for each  individual from continent through continents, the motivation however diverse, shares this common origin.

 Daily,  as life unveils various challenges, successes, struggles, achievements, and setbacks before us, we are called to recollect our earlier experiences and how it shapes our perception of events at present.

Regardless of social status, sex, nationality, or religious inclination, the narratives attached to life's events daily shapes our eventual existence and path onwards in life's journey.

Instances in which life deals a heavy blow at us for example, most times, maybe greeted with interpretations such as: "life is not fair  to us” approach, “the world owes us better” approach, in this line of thinking we switch into a victim's lane, unconsciously discriminating against ourselves by ourselves.

The other extreme to this is the interpretation of life events and happenings as "oh, is this how life is, okay, game on” approach, "let's play am into the game too”, it’s a fish eat fish world” approach. Thinking in such direction as these puts individuals in the ream of prey.

Either way, the motivation behind these two extremes perspectives can be trailed to a particular source, pain, Depending on individual makeup and environmental influences pain from everyday challenges has shaped existence as we have come to see.

In between these extremes of victim and prey lays an awareness point, from which a balance exists. Regardless of what life experience we face, the balance between these extremes should be the grounds by which existence prevails.

Fueled with love, in love with love, to be very cautious of these two extremes, with a clear and open mind yet. In these ream of thinking, the process is the reward, the reward for every action will be found in the process rather than its eventual outcome.



Been in love's path is been cautious, very conscious of both extremes, be open-minded to both extremes, being able to see through the eyes of every action of each individual you encounter, what motivates their action, and be willing to stick to the path of love.

In the path of love, you don't choose to be the victim to a prey's action, in so doing so you also decide not to be a prey in itself, that's what the balance entails.

Actions motivated by love may require energy but indeed effortless energy, the end doesn't justify the means for any action motivated by love, a Preys way of thinking is "the end justifies the means".

In this path of love, you are filled, you don't seek to be filled, that's the wholeness been in love comes with.

Fulfillment is the end result of every action motivated by love, a hunger for more, however, is the end result of actions motivated by pain, regardless of which extremes actions are operated from (Victim or Prey).
