Why Do We Crave What We Won't Ever Find?
Still can't figure this one out? Why do we find such incredible needs for something that is unattainable for us? I used to beiieve it was because it instilled that drive to keep us grounded and focused to find that happily ever after. But I have watched that work it's way through with no results and an even more desired outcome. Why is that? We are supposed to be able to find it and fil the void.

I wish I knew, I am 70 and still trying to figure that out. I just gave up. Look after yourself. Love yourself and maybe the right person will come along when you least expect it. hugs
the void is filled by God dear veggie.....that is how to fill the frikkin void.....ask and yes ye shall receive....not everything asked for but those that are what is in God's will for you will come true....
I get that. But what makes no sense is why does he give us this deep desire for something if it is never to be? I get obstacles and hurdles for us to overcome (making things that much more rewarding) .... and yes, I know be happy with just myself and my connection with him . That's all good and well... and I will continue to reach out to others who are also lonely or in pain. That may help fill that void. but it does not do it completely for me.
And I am ashamed to admit I am not that pure and noble. I spent my entire life caring , supporting and giving to others . I am now being a little selfish and wishing it is not too late for me to just have a taste of so much I gave up my entire life. Why is that so wroing or frowned upon?
You are a good person Veggiequeen, I hope you get what you are after, you deserve it! Life alway throws curveball at us!
I know what you mean. Life doesn't make a lot of sense. It's not fair. I don't know why we are born with these strong needs and desires for things we can't find. I think some of us find it some of the time and others never do. I think luck is a big part of it. One thing that I try to do but mostly fail at is try to accept life for what it is an enjoy what I can. Yea, it falls short but what else can we do....?
The best way to get something you want is to imagine you already have it! Honestly, I have seen this in action. We create our reality with our thoughts. When you keep it on your mind, the universe has no choice but to give it to you! It also works the other way, in that, if you have negative things on your mind then the universe will give you more of the same because it thinks you like it....it can't tell the difference.
This is how we create. It's called the law of attraction. Many books have been written about it and there was even a movie made about it called "The Secret". I use it in my business which is why I have days where I work until midnight! Sometimes I have to manifest business being slow because I get tired and I need a break. :)
Veggie, it will all work out! Hugs
Every person on this planet desires something that they may never end up happening. It could be a relationship. It could be a job, it could be anything. That’s just how life is.
To me, it’s wasting the precious gift of time to pine for something that may or may not happen. Isn’t it a relief to just live your life in the present and find ways to find fulfillment. I think cultivating a personal life that is rich and full does a couple of things: 1) it’s a distraction from feeling like you got the short end of the stick and 2) it opens you up to lots of experiences where you may find your priorities change; maybe what you once thought you wanted, you find it’s not that high on the priority list. Oh and there is a 3rd thing. You may find you are attracting more people in your life.
I say this with kindness but maybe in order to meet someone or find intimacy with someone, you might have work you still need to do on yourself, to let go of feeling like your life has been a misery. to accept your marriage was what it was and really let that go. Accept you chose to stay longer than you should have if you feel that way and accept nothing about our lives is written in stone. Maybe the key is just making peace with the past and with the present for yourself. The added benefit is that people are attracted to people who are ok with themselves and where they are in life.
Ask yourself what it is you lack, then ask why... answer that, and ask why again. Continue in this way until you can no longer ask why and answer, that is the reason. Most people find their answer within 9 questions of why. Usually, it is far less than 9.
You're right. Far less than 9 for me.
