True worth is within

Posted on by philipdodson

Whatever has happened in our life situation, that is the day to day mind activity that we obsess about, like the past, future etc, is completely on the surface and in the mind, deep at the bottom of the lake as in deep within us, where our soul is, there is peace and calm always. There may be a storm on the surface, but that is not the real world.

We are not our life events, we are not our actions, not our achievements, we are not the past or the future.

We are the beautiful, kind and loving human soul that we will always be, that is there deep inside us.

True worth is beyond the mind, our life situation and the exterior world, it is within and we are always worthy.

The beginning of the end

When we let go of everything, like the need to be right, like attachments to everything and everyone, when we let go of our mind and the ego, then all the pressure in life goes with it.

This is true freedom. This is peace.

To get to this point is a journey, a practice, a change in habits, a choice, a willingness to allow things not to bother us. A decision to be present in this moment and not live in the past or project into the future. Consciousness leads to freedom.

However, once we start down the path, it is the beginning of the end of the daily suffering we put ourselves through, as once we see the light it brings to us we do not ever want to go back to the darkness of our minds.

Got to be worth a try.
