How to Dissolve Challenges

Wanting to Re-enact Well-known Situations and Emotions Again and again This originates in the belief that our present life would be the only one we ever get, - and that - if we miss anything here - we'll never get another chance.
Yet though this is just an unfounded, fictitious idea, it significantly narrows many people's scope of life. -
For as long as we believe there's only one life, we try to get as much physical pleasure out of it as possible. This tendency usually spills over into the more mature phases of our life without us ever questioning it. Thus we attempt to re-enact - with lessening success - exciting experiences of our youth, instead of realizing the limits of material enjoyment and progressing to more advanced dimensions. At the end of our life we then look back in frustration and with the unspoken question what this was all about.
Never allow irrational beliefs to push you into this dead end. Choose true sovereign behavior, not unproven, habitual presumptions to guide your life.
Addiction Addiction is a serious word. So serious that we relegate it to people far distant from our usual social circles. For 'minor' addictions closer to us (smoking, medical drugs, drinking etc.) - we use 'dependence' or 'habit' or 'problem' to separate us from the more threatening meaning.
