If you feel empty

It's because you are comparing

You have an idea in your head

About the past or future

And you're comparing the present with that idea

Life is full, but our stories obscure the truth

Lost to our minds

We confuse facts with thoughts

The cure?

Shine the light of your attention on the stories your mind spins

Illuminate yourself

"I am here" is a fact

"I wish I was there," is a thought

"I did that" is a fact

"I wish I hadn't done that" is a thought

An argument with reality

Reality wins, but only always

When I was feeling confused and lost in the world, I needed hope, autonomy, and understanding. These daily snippets are for that young human struggling in the challenging game of life.

They should take you 30 seconds to read!
