Death avoidance

We walk on this rock for a brief moment and yet we allow our own self-generated fears sabotage our enjoyment from creating experiences.

Our purpose isn’t to avoid death as that only causes us to avoid living our lives now.

That doesn’t mean we have to leap in front of a bus or jump off a cliff. But death avoidance causes life avoidance.

We are dead from the moment we’re born…acceptance of that enables us to free ourselves from fear.

Easy things stop us doing what we really want

The ‘easy’ things in life get harder.

The ‘hard’ things in life get easier.

It’s the mind that decides that ‘hard’ things are tough or challenging.

When we only do the easy things we suffer because all the things we really want to do in life are labelled ‘hard’ by the mind. It’s the easy things that stop us doing what we really want as we are tricked by the mind to see these stalling, avoidance tasks, as ‘easy’ and instantly gratifying.

We become uncomfortable in our comfort zones. Stuck just doing easy things and missing the joy of doing what we really want to do.
