Don’t be the person who says yes with their mouth and no with their actions.
I help busy people do inner work.
Don’t be the person who says yes with their mouth and no with their actions.
We instinctually want what we don’t have.
This is true even for those who already have what we want.
It’s one big circle of everybody wanting everybody else’s stuff.
You want mine; I want yours; we want theirs; they want ours.
Until we decide that what we have is what we want.
It’s only then that we may finally break the vicious circle.
Various thoughts consume various amounts of mental energy.
Deep, intense, painful thoughts consume a lot.
Superficial, light, fleeting thoughts consume a little.
If you don’t deal with the gas-guzzling thoughts, you’ll be left feeling constantly exhausted.
And, maybe better put, if you constantly feel exhausted, maybe it’s precisely because you haven’t dealt with the gas-guzzling thoughts.
No person has the power to satisfy unlimited desire.
Everyone, however, has the power to not desire what they don’t have and thoroughly enjoy what they already do.
Want a shortcut to happiness?
This is it.
When you lie down for bed and realize you have to go to the bathroom, you have 2 choices:
1. Do what’s immediately uncomfortable and get up to go.
2. Do what’s immediately comfortable and hold it in hope it won’t wake you up later.
Option 2 almost always is a bad idea.
And so it is for most other choices in life that are immediately comfortable.
Be generous with your thoughts.
When those who express kind, constructive, supportive thoughts are quiet, then our collective mind is taken over by those who spew overwhelming amounts of the opposite.
We may only be one, but we are connected to ten.
And so are they.
Netflix, Playstation, Night Clubs = Hiding Places
Journals, Retreats, Deep Conversations = Finding Places
If you really want to find yourself, stop spending all of your time in hiding places.
