I’ve paid all kinds of tributes in the quest for fulfillment. Time, money, pain, worry…as the years pass, I’ve become increasingly convinced that it’s more about letting myself relax into the present moment, rather than forcing the present moment to fit into preconceived criteria.

There is great truth to this. I’ve tried to fit my life into a preconceived notion many times. I’ve realized I have little control over certain parts of my life. It bothers me some days but other days I don’t give a crap about it. I guess this is what it means to be a human being. I will constantly be thinking of a better life and struggling with my existence until my last dying breath. But in the meantime, I exist for myself for the most part while trying to maintain all the part of my life as well as can be and not let one run amok and try to gain control of the other lesser but equal parts. Whatever this means, right?

Indeed. In practice, I imagine that the overall goal would be shifting the emotional weight away from certain directions into more productive ones. How that’s done, I imagine, is up to the individual.

I agree 113%. The mind is a powerful entity, in and of itself, and can lead to either dark or light moods and emotions. Humans are definitely not cookie cutter bodies or personalities so what constitutes productive is up the individual. Let’s just hope it disturbs the least number of others along the way. Hope all is well with you.
