You spend most of your time in the company of your own thoughts.
The non-stop chattering, we just take it as normal. We normalise the constant discussion going on in our minds.
But it this normal? Doesn't it get exhausting?
As long as you continue to take life too personally, you will always be suffering.
People are who they are. Their behaviour is on them.
But how you respond to them is upto you. You be you. Stick to your true nature, which is peace and bliss.
Yes, I will encounter problems this week.
Yes, things will not go according to plan.
But it is going to be a good week.
Because nothing is going to rob me of my peace of mind.
For that's totally in my hands!
We plan and chase as if we are going to live forever. But life can be snatched away from us at any moment. And all that we will ever accumulate will always be taken away.
Knowing this, how much to gather? How much to chase? And yeah, how to best experience life?
@attu1985 There is way....it requires one to be conscious about ones actions. And have the willingness and guts to stop at "Enough".
Society will go on raising the bar, but you have a choice to decide what works for you. You get involved in their games or decide to step out of it.
These are not easy or objective answers. You actually have to live with the question. Wrestle with the question. And in turn, start questioning how you are going about living your daily life.
Is this the best you can do with your one shot at life?
@AethonPrash Knowledge doesn't necessary become wisdom.
Knowledge comes through addition, wisdom through subtraction.
Wisdom can never be borrowed, it has to be experienced. In my case, I started getting disillusioned with all the knowledge gained. It simply didn't suffice and seemed empty.
Your God is a projection of your mind.
You created him out of your own fears.
You created him out of your own insecurities.
You created him out of your own greed.
Yes, God exists. But you have manipulated His existence to suit your own needs.
