Last night i had my thinking cap on , and was wondering why things go the way they do.

You see , when im not working , i find myself in good relationships with great people , im not a leech , have always paid my own way ( unless im bought stuff like a gift or whatever ) and things work out well.

But when im working , im either eternally single , or meet the wrong sort of people who seem to always be in some sort of situation and i have to bail them out.

I need to try break this cycle , ive been working solidly for 4 years now , own my house and have zero debt ( apart from house ) , even have a quid or 2 in the bank. So what gives? is the universe against me being solidly employed AND having a great partner , or is it telling me i cannot have the best of both worlds?

(Coming from my understanding of Tibetan Buddhism)
Whether people understand why I'm saying this or not, human rebirth and in deed, all rebirths sentient beings take,(beings that have mind and fear death) the answer is rebirth nature is suffering; bound up in time its nature is suffering.

Being employed in worldly pursuits will at best bring nothing other than temporary happiness.
Because our true nature is moving energy and death is certain, no martial wealth you accumulate other than, wisdom or beneficial understandings, or positive merit, in the end are worth more than a tinkers cuff.
Wasting your precious human rebirth in all time pursuing worldly pursuits trying accumulate wealth is actually a very silly thing to do with this rare opportunity...most rebirths don't come with the level of or same ability to reason that this short temporary human experience came with.

I am not telling you anything but i am trying to bounce back on you logic and reason why you might think deeply about the subject you raise.

A female rebirth is far more complicated than male rebirth, thinking a partner can bring lasting happiness is a complete delusion, one view i heard marriage is like jumping into a boiling pot...

Might be your independance holding you back, it is that with me I do wonder myself sometimes and come back to the realization I am way too indepenant and believe really men don't like that and on a womans point of view well mine anyway I have noticed men that are too independant I steer clear of, not meaning it's a bad thing at all just too much indepenance I feel can kill chances of a real relationship JMO dunno Confusing at times confused Go Gigure roll eyes

From memory arnet you the one who wing’s about 5 bucks when your daughter asks for it? And now you are telling us you are in a great financial position.laugh

When you leave this planet you cannot take money nor love with you. So share a little of both with the ones that truly matter and you just might receive what you are looking for. beer

My daughter expects handouts , she wasnt willing to clean her room or do dishes , or any form of housework/chores/jobs , So me not just opening my wallet to her was a show of resilience towards her expecting a handout everytime she asked. If i give her what she wants all the time , then she will expect it all the time. I see it lots in friends of mine. If i wanted something when i was growing up , i had to work for it , mow the lawn , that was $2 , wash the car , $2 ,this bought me fuel for my motorbike to go riding on weekends. My parents never just "handed" me money , i had to do something for it. And before you jump the gun on saying i winged about giving her a measly $5 , her school organised a ski trip , $2000 was the cost , i told her as long as her grades are a C average , she can go , but alas , socializing and smoking was more important than a reward for being in school.

I am also aware i cannot take my wealth with me , but i would like to leave something for my daughter (when she is old enough to appreciate it , and not waste it on smokes and grog and become an ipswich bogan kid ) just as my parent will do for me. I dont count on getting anything , it really doesnt bother me as i have paved my own way in this world.

If she needed money for something constructive , or did a job like washing the car , then she received some money , but i wouldnt hand her cash to waste , you might be a parent that does that to your kids , but im not one of those parents. I work for what i have and ask for no handouts!

I was just stirring things up mate.grin


That’s what I like about you Lok, a real genuine person and what one might call a great father figure. Who lives and teaches by example a very rewarding lesson, that it takes effort to get ahead in life. thumbs up

You are also right I am one of those people who rewards no effort, but what can I do since Im not the primary parent in his life.

Got no idea Lok, don't see why being in a comfortable position financially and having a good partner in your life can't go hand in hand handshake

Maybe you are giving off vibes that you have worked hard for what you have got and you are not up for sharing it?? Just a thought?

Money is basically just energy, nothing more, and in that sense it ebbs and flows as energy does.

You may find that when the energy is at its peak, you are also energised and have the power (resources) to assist those who need help.

And if one follows that rhythm, they will most likely find that when they need help, the energy prevails and is there for them when they need it thumbs up

As far as your thoughts re being financially comfortable, but single, it's been said that we spend so much time as single people keeping the wolves from the door, plus the myriad other things that most of us have to do for ourselves, that we have little time to spend in seeking that special someone.

So yeah, apparently it's about havin' the money hunny, alone, or being loved up and poor as laugh

PS. I think a mortgage is a rather large DEBT!! confused laugh

Hi Lok...

Its not the universe that is against you... Its yourself.

If you picture what you want, it usually comes.. Sounds like you are frightened of asking for what you really want. Is your own mind saying to you... Don't ask for more'n one thing at a time...??

So next time you shove your thinking cap on... start dreaming and picturing what you really really want... and then wait for it to come..

It usually does... rose rose

and dont limit yourself to only one thing... in your dreams, imagine more and more...

Only your own thoughts can limit... but if I were you... I'd not only dream, but expect lots to come...

Set yourself a standard that you want, and dont accept less, and be sure to project that clearly... succintly..... forcefully.... meaningfully....


Whooo hoooo go for it Lok. cheering

Of course you can have a good partner and work also, especially if you ASK the universe for it :)

They say everything happens for a reason and always happens at the times we need it to happen. Times are sent to test us but at least we know we are alive. Don't give up Lok. You are a great guy and good things come to those that wait. It will happen when the time is right. cheers
