Moshe Feldenkrais ends his book, the Potent Self, with a statement to the effect that
"One of the great joys in life is overcoming difficulties."
There you go.
Life is about challenges,
and even if the challenge is being delighted
in the present,
that challenge is always present.
We want to change weight.
Get jobs more in tune with our real nature.
Make more money.
Move more easily.
Improve golf, tennis, swimming, yoga, walking, dancing.
We want to relax more,
Be happier.
That's a good base line isn't it:
To be happy.
Happiness is who we are meant to be.
Unhappiness is the alarm signal:
not living life as it should be lived.
Joy is who we are meant to be.
Frustration means:
we want something more.
Can we be happy
and present
and excited
to take our frustration
and turn it into learning?
I think, feel and have experienced
that's a pretty nice way to live.
What do you think?
Ciao
for
NOW,
Chris
