Been chasing 3 for 30+ yrs

I've been experiencing moments of a peaceful mind and what made that possible was stop chasing. not to be comfortable with things as they are, but to embrace it all so I can create a new life aware of all that made the old one possible. I've learned to be aware of what comes to me and not fight it - cause it will inevitably change (my fight may be the only thing that will contribute to the appearance that everything is the same).

how do you feel when you read that?

you inspired me to see new things right now. thank you!

You reminded me of the 6 months before I met my wife. I had chased so many things that were not me, trying to define myself through others' images of me. I decided to give up on the chase and focus on myself. Grew a beard, focused inwards and on doing nothing but me ran into this beautiful smile of a woman who wouldn’t let me quit.

That's the feeling you made me have. I find in the last year or so I have reminded myself that this is just a ride we are all on and we can figure it out. Acting from love instead of fear is tough but I have to stop regrouping and keep that in mind.
