Maybe my ego is what always prints the bad news- the wrong news.
Maybe my desires print the bad news.
My anxieties print the bad news.
My complacency prints the bad news.
My doubts in others prints the bad news.
Leave behind the world of sorrow, preoccupation and get free.
The latest good news is that you can do it.
Preoccupation with the end goal:
end goal of having fun
end goal of having sex
end goal of having strong relationships
end goal of being smart
end goal of being productive.
Get free. How can I not make it an end goal?
I hadn't thought of it before, but, yes, we manufacture our special ego editions of bad news.
ReplyDeleteYour post inspires me to post something about cultivating a focus not on the end goal--from Nhat Hanh's manual The Miracle of Mindfulness...
ReplyDeleteMaybe freedom is a breath of awareness, and another breath, knowing we are breathing -- could it be freedom of breathing...it's here - you've reached your goal. Enjoy!
