The key to peace of mind is understanding that you don't control your mind. As I've often said: "You're not in charge of your thinking -- or the feelings that follow." Now, assuming that I'm correct, where does your thinking come from? Who or what determines the ebb and flow of thought and then feelings?
At the risk of sounding far-fetched, the answer is spirit, or the intelligence of the universe. In principle, thought is governed by a higher power. And the more you wake up to this principle, the more peace of mind you will experience in your day-to-day life.
Now, what gets tricky for most people is that because it looks as if feelings are the result of specific life events, they habitually blame their feelings on these life events (and not to thought's spiritual ebb and flow). In the process, they separate themselves from the higher power that's truly pulling the strings. They become lost.
Here's the heart of my message: You're not driving the bus -- you are the bus. You can try to take control of your thinking. You can try to strategically alter, medicate, or quell your feelings. But it will never work. Instead, when a disquiet mindset occurs, the only answer is to carry on, stay in the game, and simply live. When you realize that you're not meant to to pull the emergency brake and cope, bad feelings will lose their grip in no time. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
