Serenity is the end - and serenity is also the means - by which you live effectively.

I am discovering how my consciousness dominating addictions create my illusory version of the changing world of people and situations around me.

The love and peace of higher consciousness flow from just being - and enjoying it all. Anything you do will not be enough unless you feel fulfilled in just being. Usually we are not happy when we find doing whatever it is that we think we have to do. Doing creates expectations that your world and the people around you may or may not fit. The things we do disappear in time. We must learn to appreciate just being alive in the nowness of whatever situation we are in.

Allow yourself emotion-backed demands only for physical necessities such as air to breathe, food if starving, and shelter if freezing.

As the watcher of the screen, you are perfect. The movie that is playing on the screen might be horrendous, but you are not the movie. You are what is watching the movie.

To be right, be willing to admit you are wrong.

All there is in your life is the eternal now moment - and your experience of this moment is created by the programming in your head.
