Waiting..

At the very beginning we start to convince ourselves that life will be better after we finish university, get a degree..then a job.
We are constantly waiting...waiting for the semester to end, waiting until Spring, Summer and then until Fall..
There is always this set of goals we center on..one after the other. Constantly waiting to finish work, then get home, only to fidget pointlessly and flip chronically through several absurd sitcoms and dramas awaiting the sudden yet anticipated ring of the phone..the reason to leave home again..
Waiting for the end of the month, the weekend to go out, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, then a few more drinks, just to wait until you've sobered up again..
We are constantly waiting, waiting to get married, to have kids, to see them grow up..waiting to move out of the house, buy a new house and then waiting to pay off the house!
Then an epiphany, a blinding realization, that maybe..JUST maybe.. there is more to this..
"Life is a journey, not a destination." |

what?
Life is making decisions.
To make decisions is to be alive.
The only we should strive for in life is to make decisions which will ultimately lead to durable fulfillment.
durable fulfillment= happiness, success, and freedom with a strong personal boundary
the only way to attain this is through:
-emotional balance through mastering anger and anxiety and turning them into well-being and confidence (Happiness)
-intellectual balance between education and experience ie "Wisdom" (Success)
-balance in our decision making between conscious and intuitive decisions (Freedom) |

1. Life means suffering.
2. The origin of suffering is attachment.
3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.
4. The path to the cessation of suffering. |

Suffering is spending emotional energy on external unchangeable things such as the past, the future, or other people. It is composed of one of two things. Hurt or loss (or percieved loss). Hurt causes anger, Loss causes anxiety.
Life is making decisions. You can DECIDE not to suffer. |
