Three Point Thursday | 3 Timeless Maxms
“Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want. I don’t think most of us realize that’s what it is. I think we go about desiring things all day long and then wonder why we’re unhappy. I like to stay aware of it, because then I can choose my desires very carefully.”
“The problem is not thoughts themselves but the state of thinking without being fully aware that we are thinking.”
“Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions - not outside.”

Enjoy this Three Point Thursday.
Life is a weird miracle. Go outside. Look at a tree. Breathe through your nose. Stay present. Feel that gratitude. And laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Sincerely,
Jeff
That time of the week😏
