Matthew Ricard from “Happiness”

“We willingly spend a dozen years in school, then go on to college or professional training for several more; we work out at the gym to stay healthy;
we spend a lot of time enhancing our comfort, our wealth, and our social status.
We put a great deal into all this, and yet we do so little to improve the inner condition that determines the very quality of our lives.
What strange hesitancy, fear, or apathy stops us from looking within ourselves, from trying to grasp the true essence of joy and sadness, desire and hatred?”
Fear of the unknown prevails, and the courage to explore that inner world fails at the frontier of our mind.
.
.
My two cents: What an ominous phrase, at the frontier of our mind. That means our mind is massive.
Talking with my grandson’s soccer and baseball coach, he said confidence, the attitude of the mind means everything even at 9.
Can we have a good attitude living with PTSD?
Our mental attitude means everything when dealing with PTSD.
What does your scoreboard look like, time of day with good versus bad attitude?
