In our lives we are attached to many things. We are attached to objects, feelings, emotions, opinions, thoughts and desires. When we are attached we are imprisoned by our own mind’s limited perceptions and expectations. When we become detached we open ourselves to possibility, spontaneity and freedom from suffering. We are no longer limited to our minds old habits and paradigms.
When we suffer we are confused, muddled and collapsed.
To become detached is to become free.
Detachment is freedom from suffering.
Look at what you can give up to feel the peace that is present in this moment. Are you holding onto anger, fear, loneliness, sadness, expectations or desires? Ask yourself, “Do I want to feel anger, fear, loneliness or depression more that I want to feel peace right now?”
Peace is always present
Freedom is always present
Stillness is always present
Get out a sheet of paper and put this down at the top: What am I willing to let go of to feel peace right now? Look at what you are feeling right now and ask yourself for each emotion, thought or feeling: Would I rather feel this or would I rather feel peace?
When everything is crazy, nature can help soften the blow.
Out in nature, things make sense. It’s balanced, harmonious and abundant. When we feel at our wits end, sometimes just a short walk in the woods can clear our heads and help us get back on track.
Walk mindfully.
Observe the abundance all around you.
Listen to the wind, the birds or the sound of running water.
Recharge yourself by releasing your problems and your concerns into nature.

These questions are the big questions in life right? I myself have been asking them for years and I know that I’m not alone in wanting to know the answers. I have read hundreds of books ranging from contemporary, esoteric thought to ancient texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, The Tao and the Bible. All of these books had answers to these questions and not surprisingly they were very similar. After many years of self study, meditation and literary research I have come to a conclusion: In most cases the simplest answers to life’s most difficult questions are usually correct.
Ask yourself these questions:
Why do I think that I’m here?
What does my intuition tell me?
What are my talents?
How do I best serve Humanity?
Work on developing your insight into these questions by doing the following:
Meditate on opening your heart to your inner Buddha, Joy, God, Spirit.
Make a list of your talents and dreams and carry it with you.
Look at the blocks you may have created around your dreams.
Remember to open yourself to all possibilities.
Play and laugh like when you were young:
Make a date to do something you enjoyed as a child.
Draw a picture.
Goof off.
Experience the thrill of the unknown.
