My Peace Is My Priority
Hello my lovely readers! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog page!
As you can see from the name of this article I am going to talk about peace! And here is the link to my short slide show which describes what I will be talking about - "Your Life Is In Your Hands".
It doesn't matter who you are, doesn't matter where you are and what is going on with you, your peace is always there, and you can always create it by yourself. And I realized after all the difficulties that I've been through, that creation of this internal peace is the best investment that you can do!
In order to be peaceful you need to understand one very important and at the same time super simple thing: THE CAUSE OF ALL PROBLEMS IS MIND. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Please remember that, always remember that! As mind is the cause of all suffering it means that all you need to do, is to be free from your mind.
We waste too much energy on trying to change the world around us, and don't invest any time and efforts on taking care of our own thoughts. What happens if you make the wrong investment? You lose.
When you have bad, mean thoughts you are paying attention to them instead of doing things and being in reality. And your worst thoughts get the most attention than anything else in your life. Your mind doesn't really care too much about what is going on, it only cares about getting things that it likes and avoiding things that it doesn't like. Watch it and you will see. If it cannot get what it wants it gets weird and if it cannot avoid what it doesn't want it gets weird. And you listen to this freaked out mind all the time instead of just interacting with reality. I am telling you, it is not a joke, it is literally wasting of your life. LIFE CANNOT CAUSE PROBLEMS, LIFE CAN JUST BE.
I spent so much time in my mean thoughts, it was painful and useless. When you meditate every day, you start noticing these mind's "likes" and "dislikes". And you can see how annoying they are. All I want right now is to be free from my mind. I want my peace. I don't want to change the world, I don't want to change people, to manipulate the reality, all I want to do is stop thinking. And I don't mean practical thoughts like "I need to eat something" or "I need to run this report". I am talking about these problematic mind that doesn't like something. "I don't like the way he treats me", or "I don't like how cold it is today", or "Why the waiter hasn't taken my order yet?", or "Where is my boyfriend and why hasn't he texted me yet?", etc. If you pay attention to these thoughts you ruin your life. It looks like you are solving the problem but in fact you are only creating them. You steel your peace from yourself, when you waste your energy on these useless and mean thoughts. You could have done so much instead, you could take a walk, you could enjoy your tea, you could draw a picture, sew a dress. But you get sucked into these personal judgmental thoughts.
I hope you get my point. And I hope you will not believe your mind, and instead of listening to it will learn how to enjoy every second of your wonderful life, which is amazing and absolutely beautiful once you stop paying attention to all these stupid mean thoughts! If you think that there are any problems outside of your mind you are not going to find your peace, and you will be suffering for the rest of your life.
Now think what is your priority? Do you care about your peace? Do you want to enjoy your life? Do you want to be in reality or in your worried and scared mind? If you want to be happy, work on your mind, train your consciousness and ignore your mean thoughts!
I chose peace! And I don't care what my childish mind thinks about it, what it likes or doesn't like. I want to enjoy the reality that God created for me! I am thankful for every day of my life and wishing you the same!
Be Strong And Love Yourself!
