It is, what it is.
After all the running around, what am I trying to protect.
Protect myself from the sensation of discomfort.
But that running around in fear is greater than the discomfort.
It's more efficient to stop, and unclench, receiving the full dose of the discomfort.
The space between breaths.
The pause before reacting.
The space from emotions.
The CEO without equity.
“Don’t trust, verify” - Buddha
"Hear me out, what if there is no soul, nobody's home."thoughts and emotions race, but me walking slow.
- In death, we lose everything.
- In dying, there is fear of losing everything thing.
- In living, do things that support life, workout, have a conversation over coffee.
- In dying, allow the sensation of discomfort to exist, without interfering.
- Hold this 2 ideas at the same time, so while sunset is appreciated, the melancholy of it's briefness is reduced.
I am working, without needing to get work done.
I am resting, without needing to fall asleep.
I am iterating, based on results.
If sense of self, is just a sensation,
Instead of finding yourself,
Just rest in not finding.
End to suffering is not the absence of unpleasant feelings,
But to accept unpleasant sensations, without acting out of it.
A lot of what I do now, is to frame my singular action against a picture of trends driving it.
That's the big picture.
It's essential to have the capacity to do both at the same time.
The meaning of life is to sit.
We sit to acknowledge and accept the unpleasantness of it, yet not engage with sensations that arise.
We may do so, while we hodl.

Face tough times gracefully, keep moving forward even if one step at a time.
