Failure is impossible.
We control two things, effort and attitude. Effort and Attitude can be enormous anchors in life.
Results are far beyond our control and miles above our pay grade. Life happens, suffering will visit your doorstep, happiness will arrive as a choice.
Remember failure is impossible if we give all out effort with a good attitude. My PTSD melts away when I am present, focused and living fully.
We can not change the past, my childhood abuse sabotaged my life until I reached 60.
In my mind, I decided that was enough, “No more” was my mantra.
In this moment, my past has died, unlimited opportunity is available.
Rick Hanson in “Buddha’s Brain” shares this: “The number of possible combinations of 100 billion neurons firing or not is approximately 10 to the millionth power, or 1 followed by a million zeros, in principle; this is the number of possible states of your brain.”
Sounds like at the cellular level we have unlimited opportunity available.
I can be sad for the suffering of others, along with being able to experience happiness within my inner world.
Death is inevitable, our journey is where we get to choose suffering or thriving under any circumstance.
We all have bad moments, weak moments, the trick is to limit their duration.
I give intention before meditating for all sentient beings, those suffering.
