LesterParticipant‘What we think, we become’ Buddha
LesterParticipantHi
Firstly, you are your own like minded person.Also, saints need sinners. A negative person will always pop along, they are a gift. Thats how we learn how not to be. Because unfortunately negative people are unhappy. We can only hope that our love, compassion and patience acts as a guide for them.
Even when we find like minded friends and acquaintances, we must not get attached but accept it as a naturally occurring part of the journey that is our current life.
The laws of attraction are always working and I think that we can attract, like minded people by having the courage to be our positive selves.
Best wishes.
LesterParticipantExcept that the human condition brings us our own suffering.
Attachment and self grasping are the most common of these conditions. Recognition of this can be the starting point to finding happiness.I am 46 and have had lots of ups and downs, as everybody has. I have strived for this and that and in doing so, I have missed a lot of vital points in the pursuit of peace of mind.
Peace of mind comes when you start to control your mind, the back ground noise that nags away at you, it’s like your inner saboteur.
It will never go away, but it is the probable cause of your unhappiness.
If you can recognise these mind games and realise that these thoughts are not the ‘real you’, you can finally find the real you and realise that finding happiness is a conditioning of mind. You can then finally feel free and appreciate the simpler things in life.
Never feel guilty for feeling unhappy or being impatient or even moody, just recognise it as part of the human condition. A condition that, with practice, you can start to recognise and then control, pushing negative feelings further back and allowing the true you to shine.Hope this helps.
p.s. I used to chat endlessly about winning the lottery and what I would buy and do with my fortune. I realise now that, I don’t need to win the lottery, I no longer want material things, other than what is necessary. I have a pot of gold already and so have you. Just relax and let things be, accept what is and love yourself.
LesterParticipantCongratulations, on your success so far.
Don’t beat yourself up. You are human, with human fears. Decide what you really want from your career, there will be options. Pick the path that will make you happiest.
Maybe you are not ready for the next stage just yet. It’s a transitional time in your life, follow the sign posts in your life, there will be many and follow your instincts. Stay positive, there will come a time when you are ready and a natural confidence will come.
All the best.
