What Really Matters

When we were small, a candy might matter a lot. As we grow older and get into schools, marks, approval from teachers, parents… then probably how we look / attractive to the opposite sex, .. after we graduate, what type of jobs we can find, how fast and how much possessions we accumulate….

In chasing we considered important, we easily overlook / sacrifice our health, peace, joy, … more importantly, fail to really live.

There is certainly no doubt that all these external goodies might enhance our lives, but it is much more important to always remember who we are at the core. that we are not our bodies, minds, possessions, knowledge, abilities, background, .. .and that nothing / no one ultimately guarantee joy and peace, but our constant connection with our true essence.

Thanks to Eckhart and Sadhguru, i am now able to live a much peaceful and joyful life, as i become more aware of my own thoughts and feelings, and often remember that it is the quality of our actions (i.e. how conscious we are when we do something, including speaking, writing…), rather than what we do, that really matters.
