22 thoughts to help you find peace & happiness:
You will not be able to solve anything outside,
..until you own how the situation affects you inside.
Closing your heart doesn’t really protect you from anything;
..it just cuts you off from your source of energy.
You’re only limited by your ability to stay open...
If you aren’t centered,
..your consciousness is just following whatever catches its attention.
It doesn’t matter what others do,
..unless you decide that it matters to you.
When you are an aware being,
..you no longer become completely immersed in the events around you.
Fear doesn’t want to feel itself;
..it’s actually afraid of itself.
That which is holding you down, can become a powerful force that raises you up.
Every time you do something in the name of avoiding pain,
..that something becomes a link;
That holds the potential for the pain you’re avoiding.
To spend your life avoiding pain,
..means it’s always right behind you.
People often don’t understand how much they’re suffering,
..because they’ve never experienced what it’s like not to suffer.
Limitations and boundaries only exist,
..at the places where you stop going beyond.
It’s often said that you must go through the darkest night,
..to get to the infinite light.
Spirituality begins when you decide that you’ll never stop trying.
Stress only happens when you resist life’s events.
The purpose of your life is to enjoy, and learn from your experiences.
What actually gives life meaning is the willingness to live it.
It is scarcity that makes things precious.
The truth is that most of life,
..will unfold in accordance with forces far outside your control.
Regardless of what your mind says about it.
There is nothing more important to true growth,
..than realizing you are not the voice of the mind.
You are the one who hears it.
Your consciousness is actually experiencing your mental model of reality;
Not reality itself...
You have to understand,
..that it is your attempt to get special experiences from life..
that makes you miss the actual experience of life.

Here’s something related you might enjoy:
“In case you haven’t noticed,
..you have a mental dialogue going on inside your head..
That never stops.”
If you want to regain control over it, I’d highly recommend:

People tend to burden themselves with so many choices.
But, in the end, you can throw it all away and just make one basic, underlying decision:
Do you want to be happy, or do you not want to be happy?
Once you make that choice,
..your path through life becomes totally clear.
