The religious model of thought binds us to a checklist where we pay for heaven/enlightenment with a litany of actions.  Often, we are encouraged to be martyrs—happiness is an “indulgence” unless everyone else attains it first—and look out for the devil. The fundamentalist/evangelical mode of thought builds on this—not only are we obligated to live…

And then, if i have to argue with someone, I stand calmly in the bedrock of my substantiated belief—from concept…

I have worked towards goals for the feeling I get when I finally achieve them.  But now I think it’s possible to be happy regardless of whether a goal is achieved, regardless of whether the condition is present. I believe being happy will prime my subconscious to be optimistic, allowing me to see hidden opportunities;…

One of the greatest pleasures in life is encountering resistance, being knocked off my game, then realizing it doesn’t matter because we’re tiny specks in a incomprehensibly vast reality. This opens me to resignation, then satisfaction, then optimism, then surety.  Because if nothing matters, why not hope for the best, work towards lasting fulfillment, and—most…

I know it’s illogical, but when I’m happy with who I am, I pleasantly surprise myself by becoming more than I imagined.
