When you do the right thing — you become peaceful
When you do your best — you become peaceful
Life is really not that complicated
There’s whatever is necessary, truly necessary
And then there is only how you settle it
You can settle it the best you can, do your best, do the right thing
Or you can settle it dismissively, perfunctorily, lethargically
You can settle it dismissively, perfunctorily, lethargically
You can distract yourself
Distract yourself with minutia, with entertainment, with ideas
You can make excuses
Make excuses, find objections, brush off, hide behind your pride or hide behind your victimhood
None of that will do you any good
None of that will increase your chances of solving your problem
None of that will increase your chances of solving your problem
Instead you can do what is right, do your best — and set things the best way possible
It’s self-evident what is right, it’s self-evident that it is right to do your best
And you know it. It’s obvious, it’s self-evident, therefore you know it
And this is why you won’t know peace until you did your best
You won’t give yourself the gift of peace — not until you know that you did your best
Does it mean your problems will disappear?
No
But often the biggest problem is you
You and your confusion and self-delusion
You being scattered, unfocused
Why don’t you just give up on all the nonsense — and do a SINGLE FUCKING THING RIGHT?
And then at least you’ll know where you stand
You failed? Good. You succeeded? Good.
At least the confusion is gone
And with it there’s some room for peace
Please be simple
