redefining "problems"

We become anxious and distressed when we try to find security by controlling circumstances outside of ourselves. Be empowered to make changes as you can and desire, but don’t succumb to the myth that you are only allowed to be happy and at ease when elements external from you are in a particular way. Understand that your peace comes from within you, always. It’s an experience you alone allow or don’t allow yourself. You are infinite love and infinitely powerful. You need not be distressed by the ever changing and evolving energies of life.

Dearest You,

The “problems” in your life are only that because you defined them as such. Your so-called “problems” are actually just a reflection of your preferences for something else. If you free yourself from your attachment to these specific preferences, nothing in the world can bother you.

Love,

Me
