People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on.

Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world.

Only when you've truly had enough suffering in your life, are you able to say ' I don't need it anymore'.

You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.

You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.

Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.

The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.
