Do we feel happy most of the time? Or crappy? Perhaps the latter, isn’t it?
Maybe it’s because we are constantly focused on the past. Thinking of things we could have done differently, aiming to jettison all regrets.
Or maybe it’s because we are constantly focused on the future. Thinking of the infinite permutations and combinations of a life that is yet to unfold. Can we control all of it? Most of it? Any of it?
We can instead give the highest priority to God right now, and become more and more aware of His presence in our lives. This will prove to us by self-experience that we are an integral part of a divine plan. We don’t need to demand for anything then, because by surrendering to the Lord, everything is automatically being take care of.
Instead of a fast mind and slow actions, these will invert, and peace will follow.
