Morning Contemplation: Don't Take Yourself Seriously

When we take ourselves seriously, we limit our options for responding to circumstances. When we take offence, then we step into the position of defender. This is unnecessary. Let's learn to take things lightly and live in a reality where we have no problems.

Excellent meditation. Calming voice is appreciated. Thank you

Flow with the current and enjoy the voyage 🍁

Really well done. But if you want to share with someone who might be less open-minded, likely the deliberate, mindful pace would put them off, and I believe one needs to listen to the whole piece. I, personally, am uplifted by it and will save the message to listen to from time to time. Thank you!

First of many, and great perspective. Reminds me of Bruce Lee and you want to be "like water." Happiness and contentment are not a solid state as these both depend on what I like to call 'season' you're in and the constant ebbs and flows of life.

One's lived experience truly determines a person's happiness and contentment. I.e., A monetarily wealthy person's happiness is different than one who would be considered monetarily poor. - 5-Star Dining vs eating a meal that day.

Looking forward to more and thank you 🙏🏽

Great new take on the old topic of “no self”, discussing its centrality to our experience of life.
Highly recommended whether the topic is new or old for you!
