Modern Peace Of Mind For A Frantic Society

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
― Marcus Aurelius

Peace of mind can only come with the realization that there is never going to be a point in your life in which you are finally “complete”, a point where everything is in place and in order, a place where you don’t have to work or move anymore, it’s inexistent (actually, no, there is such a point, it’s called death).

But while you’re still in this world, you still have to live, you also want to live good, so peace of mind is a must in the business of living.

Peace of mind will only arrive once you close and kick off the loop of “work/do — get — be happy/fulfilled — repeat” and realize that the thought of needing to get “somewhere” all the time is false, you’ve always been already “there”, there never was nor is anywhere to go but where you are right now.

Peace of mind will not come once you “make it”, you’ve already “made it”, you are “making it” at every moment. You don’t need anything outside what you are at any moment to have peace of mind and feel complete and at ease, everything else is a lie.

Wherever you go, there you are — Buckaroo Banzai
