Why do so many marriages fail?

Why are so many people seeking love and identity through relationships with a significant other? Why do people feel so sad and alone if they are not in a relationship? Why are we so unhealthy? These are all questions that I often find myself thinking and I hear so many of my friends asking. So, I did some research on this subject and would like to share my findings. It all comes down to one factor, self love! When one does not love them self, they are constantly seeking something from external factors: significant others, kids, friends, work, etc. None of these things can fill what one can fill themselves. Why are so many people not wanting to work on themselves and just trying to take the easy way out? It goes back to what I always talk about, fitness, weight loss, health eating, and well being. It is so hard for people to put forth the time and effort towards exercise and well being. Therefore, obesity, disease, death, and many health issues do play such a significant role in peoples lives, because people do not put forth the effort it takes to be healthy. Self love will help people make being healthier a priority!

Living healthy and self love, are both things that take work over a period of an entire lifetime. To love oneself, we need to constantly work on our mindset and way of being. To live healthy, we need to constantly exercise and eat healthy. Nothing in life will come easily! Anything good worth receiving takes hard work, dedication, and determination. We ALL need to work on ourselves on a daily, weekly, monthly basis and in time we will be thankful and grateful that we did. We need to stop placing the blame on others, and trying to change others in order to feel better ourselves. No other person or thing can make us happy and healthy, we must do this ourselves!

Marriages fail because we expect the other person to make us happy. We feel sad or alone, because we want someone or something else to provide happiness for us. Stop trying to change others or worry about what others think of you, start changing yourself. Believe that you are a wonderful and loving soul. Be kind and compassionate with yourself. Do good things for yourself. Take time to BE with yourself. Silence your mind through meditation and try to listen to your soul and hear what it is saying to you. We all have an inner voice that we must listen to, to guide us and heal us. Stop abusing your bodies with food, alcohol, illegal and legal drugs, addictions and so on. Feed your body healthy and nutritious foods, feed your mind with positive affirmations.

Be grateful every morning when you wake up that you are alive and breathing. Get your ASS to the gym or outdoors and get moving at least 30 minutes a day. Surround yourself with people that lift you up, instead of bringing you down. When your mind starts feeding your soul with negativity, turn the channel in your brain and think positive thoughts. Get enough sleep every night, and do good towards others. Give, give, give and stop being so selfish! Just do it! Namaste :- )
