Make peace with your present.

Starting point is 00:00:29 Peace is the result of reach, training your mind to process life as it is rather than as you think it should be. Dr. Wayne Dyer Life can sometimes take a toll on us. It can be pretty much overwhelming. Reality makes its demand on humans and sometimes it's easy to feel like a victim of some cosmic oppression. And thus, many people go through life wallowing and complaining about how things should be.

Starting point is 00:00:55 This creates a dividedness, a conflict between what is and what should be. And when we reach that cleaving in the narrative, we're barely at peace. We lose focus of the now and we do everything to escape the moment. Many find it easier to drown their sorrows in inebriation. Some lose their way and in the end they fall into many regrets. It's a roulette wheel, a vicious circle of mistakes and regrets. To get out of this seemingly inescapable fate, to get back to living in the moment, we have to learn to make peace with our present.

Starting point is 00:01:28 This mode of action is pretty hard for most since many people have learned to define themselves with their pains, wounds, and scars. But the solution is there and is easily accessible to anyone from any walk of life. But what does it mean to be at peace with the present and how can one achieve that? The pain that you create now is always some form of non-acceptance,

Starting point is 00:01:51 some form of unconscious resistance to what is. Those are the words from Eckert Tolley, as he explained the essential aspect of being at peace with the present. Pain is crucial, but only for a while. Carried on beyond a certain threshold, pain or grief becomes pathological. At some point, you have to accept reality as it is and move to surmount the obstacles in your way. Work to change the things you can change and do not dwell on things you cannot change. Don't let the past devour your present too much.

Starting point is 00:02:25 rise and make the change that you want to see. Action only comes after we've accepted how things are. The art of mindfulness can help us reach the point of acceptance. People often take on too much. When we try to bear the burdens of many things, we get overwhelmed. To be fully efficient in life and to avoid burnout and exhaustion, you have to strike a balance in life. As the famous motivational poem goes,

Starting point is 00:02:53 Rest if you must, but don't you quit. If you are to fully live in the now and be at peace with the present, you have to learn to know your own limits. Do not overexert yourself. When things start to feel slightly overwhelming, take a pause. Walk away and come back with a fresh mind. Above all, know what you are capable of and do not be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help. When we lead a balanced life, we can be at peace with the present. There are no justified resentments.

Starting point is 00:03:24 Dr. Wayne Dyer. One reason why many people fail to be at peace with the present is that they drag a truckload of resentments with them. Of course, we have people who wronged us in the past. We have a lot of scars to show, but we really must try to forgive and give up all those resentments. Carrying resentments is like trying to swim with a boulder on our back. We drown. The only way to be free of the past and resentments is to forgive. Above all, you should also forgive yourself for all your sins of the past.

Starting point is 00:03:55 Most of us find it easier to forgive others, but are hard on ourselves. This is not healthy, and it's got to stop now. Forgiveness is a door that leads to a peaceful present. A cluttered life is a life full of busyness. Most people put off things for the next time and live with the dread of it. If your life has clutter, you'll always feel like someone is chasing you, like the world is on your throat. Tackle those problems and face your tasks head on.

Starting point is 00:04:23 This will give you a feeling of relief and accomplishment. Also, you'll have more time to relax in a stress-free moment. This allows you to have more time to enjoy the present without having to look over your own shoulder. People treat life as a race. They're constantly chasing something, trying to bait of this record or trying to be like someone else. Stop. Slow down. Take life at your own pace. Enjoy your achievements and your plans.

Starting point is 00:04:52 Do things your way. As the Desiderata said, if you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter. Take life as it comes. Do not get into a rat race. Being at peace with the present is the only uplifting way to adapt. We cannot fully embrace the now if we continue carrying around bitterness, resentments, and if we continue being trapped in a wheel like a hamster. Live now.

Starting point is 00:05:20 Be at peace. Thank you for listening today. The show notes below link to much more information about this episode.
