Accepting things as they are is the mind killer.
It sounds so weird because I’m going against what the buddha said.
Yet
I believe that we accept things as they are in the moment that we accept death in our lives.
Maybe everything is as it is and that’s they way it will always go
Yet, I know that the moment things in your mind stop shifting, you are stale and boring and dead.
What am I missing?
Settling means giving in to our natural tendency of looking for comfort.
You stop changing, and you’ll get left behind.
The issue is, you won’t notice until it’s too late.
But that’s how it works, and it’s actually quite good.
I mean, if you were to fail and not notice it, you wouldn’t learn.
Same goes for falling behind, you notice it and then you gotta strive as a motherfucker to get back on track.
That’s actually a good thing.
But it’s painful
So, feel free to shed a tear because you are having the luxury of dying a little just to be alive once more.
