What matters?

Grab some dust, or sand, or earth and hold it in the palm of your hand. Hold it there for a few minutes or longer.

Just clear your mind and focus on the dust.

That’s what each and everyone of the 8 billion humans alive will be in anywhere between 1 and maybe 100 years from now.

Now…tell me what matters?

Great expectations

Expectation and disappointment are intrinsically linked.

The higher our expectations the greater the disappointments.

If we expect anything from others, who we have no control over then, of course, we will have disappointments.

The gap between expectations and reality is our suffering.

Accept others as they are, place no burden on them by expecting things from them and our suffering will go.
