    Surrender refers to an internal state.  Regardless of physical conditions, I can mentally reach for ease and flow.  Maybe I can’t grasp them immediately, maybe I’m outwardly straining, but I can always point myself in a nonresistant direction. And if I can’t do that through conscious focus, I can take a nap or distract myself…

    Obsessing over whether people in my life are toxic or positive becomes tiresome and exhausting.  The whole point of that is to make myself happier.  If I focus on making myself happier, then I won’t worry about whether people perceive me as an asshole (the trap of staking my happiness on others’ uncontrollable perceptions), or…

    I believe it’s fairly evident we were put on this Earth to engage in desire–desire to breathe, desire to eat, desire for relevance, desire for fulfillment.

    I’ve often wondered if I had to struggle and toil in order to see that my true potential only comes forth when I inwardly focus on ease and freedom (regardless of how hard I may be outwardly struggling). In the past I’ve said yes–I had to go through that pain in order to grow–but that…

    The reason I want this or that is because I believe I will be happier in the having of it. But if happiness is under my control (while I can’t immediately turn negativity into happiness, I can always point my mind in the direction of it–i.e:  depression into anger, anger into pessimism, pessimism into apathy,…
