Try to imagine everything working. Imagine everybody cheering up. Imagine people seeing the half-full glass. Imagine them finding their source of joy within themselves, rather than by conquering some status they think is essential to them, which you can easily see — we have seen — makes them more unhappy and stressed, actually.
Those who have billions of dollars, for example, they all want to leave the planet. They build bunkers for themselves in New Zealand underground. They’re so scared. They get so scared. It doesn’t make you feel good to have all that responsibility. Yes, people like to be wealthy, but you can go overboard with that.
Having some more territory, it’s just more problems. We can see that when we’re calm. If we are all anxious because we don’t have this and, we don’t have that — realize that we don’t really need that much. Simplify things. Of course, we need food and shelter and friends, especially friends, and we get them by loving them. Beause then they like us and then we feel better.
So be peaceful in our mind. Imagine everything working out. Don’t take no for an answer in your imagination, at least in beginning. Visualize. Let the world be a mandala in time of people fulfilling what they really want. Not necessarily some new status, some new property, some new possession, some new domination. They don’t necessarily really want that.
They want some new inner feeling. Maybe freedom from some pain in the knee, or the back or, or the mind — the place of deep pain. So think about that and yourself. Are you bothered because you didn’t achieve anything? Some future that you imagined is not necessarily going to be exactly what you want?
Or can you find something that is a blessing now, a miracle about your now? Be in the moment. And even imagining a good future, it makes you happy in the moment. Imagining success in the future even will make you happy now. It’s a kind of success now.
So be hopeful. It’s all right. Turn your passion toward the positive.
