Živjeti na najlakši način

We have become so entrenched in the belief that the intellect’s purpose is storing and understanding information, that we base our sense of identity on this idea. Our intellect thus tries to become something that it is not and is always pushing us to be something that we are not meant to be.

Slowly, what others think of us becomes incredibly important, and we start looking for approval outside. We become masters at comparing ourselves to others and seek perfection according to external parameters beyond our control. Once we learn these lessons, we feel miserable most of the time.

Thoughts are extremely powerful, and unfortunately, most of the time they are tainted by our beliefs, emotions, and attachments. We do not think on a blank slate, free from preconceptions, biases, fears, and judgments. Everything we think of is based on our memories, our programming.
