Mandy Bites On Self-Abandonment

  1. Exhaustion comes from self-abandonment (a lack of integrity) while dealing with other people; not from dealing with other people.

  2. The more you self-abandon, the more symptomatic you become.

  3. All you’re doing with all that doing is dancing around your own fire.

  4. You only point at others when you’ve turned against yourself.

  5. Your habitual state is not your natural state.

  6. It’s all your own (un)doing.

  7. If you weren't trying to outsource from another what you can only provide for yourself, you would not have ended up in something that hurts you.

  8. To blame the ‘narcissist’ for ‘manipulating’ you into ignoring that initial gut feeling and your brilliant inner knowing is completely absurd.

  9. Why are you mad at them for your choice to betray yourself?

  10. Your system inevitably screams NO when you've ignored its multiple whispers.

  11. “Things were never the same after that.” After you stayed when you should have left.

  12. If you do it ‘for’ or ‘because’, it's not IT.

  13. Others aren’t distracting you. You’re using others to distract yourself.

  14. If you choose something or someone over yourself, you're gonna have a hard time.

  15. It all goes out the window in the face of what is.

  16. It’s the inability to withstand the intense aliveness of being that drives the impulse to dilute or run from it, just as the inability to withstand it drives the impulse to seek that same jolt of aliveness through superficial means.

  17. We only feel the need to ‘escape’ when we’re existing unnaturally.

  18. It hurts so you can learn how to not do that shit that hurts you.

  19. Regardless of the ‘issue’, it’s about your relationship to power.

  20. The other isn't the reason that you deviate from YOU. The other is the excuse you use to abandon what is true.

  21. You only need to 'cope' when you choose to leave home.

  22. You want to leave because you’ve yet to fully own YOU. And there’s no greater pain than that.

  23. One must abandon themselves in the attempt to fill through external means what can only be satisfied internally through learning how to not self-abandon in the first place.

  24. What's a little more poison when you're already sick?

  25. You want to be chosen without choosing yourself.

  26. Living inside a NO is one of the helliest hells there is.

  27. It's you that puts things in your own way.

  28. Approval seeking aka self-rejecting.

  29. I won't abandon myself for another. No one is worth that transgression.

  30. You get what you say yes to. And all the shit that brings.

  31. Your deepest, most excrutiating pain comes from one thing only.

  32. You lied to yourself before (and more than) they ever lied to you.

  33. Life will force the expansion you’re not willing to take on your own.

  34. You do what you’re told by them. I do what I’m told by me.

  35. You think it’s too risky to be wild. So you’d rather play dead to stay ‘safe’.

  36. The powerless surrender to illusion. The powerful submit to truth.

  37. Your level of pain is equal to your level of resistance. To your genius. To your power. To truth.

  38. You are the only remedy for your suffering.

  39. Waiting on God is waiting on you.

  40. When you deny yourself, you deny God itself. #samething

  41. Obligation is self-imposed.

  42. Follow yourself. Unfollow the rest.

  43. When you aim, you miss.

  44. Stop leaving HERE to go 'there' and the ‘problem’ dissolves.

  45. You created X when you disowned the truth. When you own the truth, X disappears.

  46. Their maps can’t take you HOME.

  47. Don’t look to me for how to be. You already know what to do.

  48. You’re not at the mercy of the planets.

  49. How to successfully human: 1. Honour external commitments. 2. Ignore internal commands.

  50. Stop buying into your own bullshit and you’ll be just fine.
