The Nature of Fixing

The concept of 'fixing' is often intertwined with the desire to correct problems, both external and internal. Many people feel compelled to fix themselves or their lives, suggesting a perspective rooted in separation and fear. This urge to correct perceived issues consumes a significant amount of mental and emotional energy, as individuals grapple with the belief that life needs to be improved or altered in some way. When one pauses these thoughts and routines, it becomes apparent how natural this inclination to fix really is, revealing that much of it stems from a fear of not being okay with life as it currently is.
