Unwillingness to allow pleasure/joy/comfort/luxury for your self does nothing but create more suffering for your inner/outer world.
Specifically, the people who appear to be suffering in your world are only a reflection of your consciousness.
In this way, the more you focus on their perceived suffering, the more you suffer, and the more you suffer - the more your world must reflect that suffering back to you in the form of 'other' people.
So go ahead and be proactive - enjoy all that life is offering Now, and effortlessly uplift the energy of your world simply by being who you've always been.
Thank you for this! In fact I, even as a spiritual teacher, had fallen into that place of “forgetting” to enjoy and the uplifting reflection is mirrors to all…
An appreciated message of staying awake to our conscious reflections! YES
