I am a man who has always been driven up the wall by emotions. I also have always been reactive to situations that I knew I could be more relaxed in. Recently these past few months have been gold. I think reason being I stopped being so reactive under false pretenses and small annoying situations.
In the past I couldn’t recognize the difference between haggles and real problems. I thought both were to be treated as if dear life depended on finding its solution. But this is not true at all because nothing in life is that painful unless you are a fucking 19th century ninja or a secret agent. Reacting to the smallest problems has caused me to be intimidated and paranoid over everything. That increases stress and cortisol levels. My philosophy is, if you don't have to get your blood pressure high and have veins popping out of your forehead why attempt to achieve it.
Instead looking for a solution with every single breathe, search for the beauty of life. Treat the present moment as an everlasting paradise. Be chill and like my man Bruce Lee said "be water my friend." when you are able to sit back and watch your own thoughts and find stillness in the currents, you my friend are owning up to your inner presence and living a satisfying life. Nothing else can be more satisfying than owning up to the present moment, not even money.
Because the truth is you can have all the assets a glorious king can have, you can have the financial status of Bill Gates but some still won't be happy. Sometimes you need to sit back and enjoy who you are and accept your own presence. Now don’t get my words twisted, I am not telling people to hold on to their flaws and not change for the better. What I am trying to say is to accept whatever life throws your way, embrace it and be un-reactive to it but at the same time, take right action in order to better yourself.
Know the situation at hand + accept it + take appropriate steps towards better yourself +
Owning up to the present moment = satisfaction
This journey of self-improvement is always unwinding….
