There’s a huge amount of suffering that is generated not by the actual challenges of life but by the fictitious problems that the mind generates. @eckharttolle ⛰️
I catch myself experiencing this with my romantic relationship. I have seen people cheat on their partners and I have been cheated on as well. So the fear that my current romantic partner will cheat on me appears in my thoughts. But that is my mind and my ego trying to protect me but it is creating a story that is not true with my current relationship. This only happens sometimes and it happens typically when I am feeling insecure with myself and my relationship. When my ego comes in and tries to create this story to scare me away; which then creates fictitious problems and then I take it out on my partner. I’ve learned to identify a fictitious problem versus an actual challenge by observing my thoughts & triggers.
