Human beings of all ages have been known to kid around, to be funny, to joke for fun.  Yet, the degree you sense you get into trouble also relates to ways you kid yourself on deeper levels.  Would you view this kind of belief as a lapse? Have you ever felt unloved?

For instance, if you choose to engage in romance with someone you do not love, or even marry such a person,  then you are creating inner conflict.  This will result in unnecessary stress and health problems even if you do not initially make the connection.  When you refuse to be honest with yourself,  you hesitate to open your heart in ways to heal soul. 

You may have observed other people bring on their own discomfort. Everyone can learn to make decisions not based on neediness, but out of selfless respect for another.  The process of evolving toward being humble and egoless is part of the journey of life.

Another reason to stop kidding yourself may relate to your perceived physiological or emotional state.  If you think you have nothing to do with how you feel, or why your body is deteriorating, then you are unaware.  To discover a disease is a symptom of something deeper.  It reveals clues about addiction or other self-defeating behavior.  Learn to discern the core issues.  Then, you can take steps to heal in ways that astound yourself. 

How many people get diagnosed with illnesses and miraculously heal themselves? The number is irrelevant.  These  people do not kid themselves about what is possible.  They take responsibility for how they think and raise awareness about causes of their beliefs.  You have no reason to make fun of yourself or criticize your current predicament.  Whatever your state of health, it is a blessing. You have the power to transform.

In a nutshell, illness of any kind reveals your soul desired to challenge what you believe. Now, you are ready to redefine what it means to kid yourself. This means learning to dissolve the cynic, the doubter, and the judge.  As you learn to strengthen a sense of unconditional love, you discover this is strongest power you can tap into at any moment.
