The human mind has a fundamental error: it tries to treat life as a complex problem that needs a permanent solution. We strive for certainty, stability, and fixed principles. But the core truth of our existence on this Earth is that there are no permanent solutions to any problem.
In a world immersed in constant uncertainty, the pursuit of fixed and eternal principles is a source of unnecessary stress. Instead of struggling to solve life, stop, breathe, and choose to live freely and happily, content with what the present moment offers you.
The Illusion of Certainty
The persistent feeling that anything around you is certain or eternal is a complete illusion. Every situation is temporary. Every season is temporary. Every emotion is temporary. Nature constantly reminds us of this unending flow and change.
Therefore, resist the urge to “settle down” forever in any single event—whether it’s joy, sorrow, success, or failure. Instead, make everything a lesson. Let all your experiences refine you, allowing you to walk forward as a deep, still, and grounded individual.
Life is a Lesson, Not a Logic Puzzle
Life is not a problem to be solved; it is an experience to be lived and understood. It is a feeling. Ultimately, the entirety of life is merely a mental construct, a grand imagination, and a dream.
You are not purely living in reality; you are constantly thinking, imagining, and interpreting. The whole of existence is, in its final form, a mental imagination.
Don’t spend your fleeting time trying to conquer or solve life. Until the day of your farewell, focus on understanding itand traveling through it with open awareness.
The Power of Detached Travel
None of this truly belongs to you, and you cannot control any of it—the weather, the markets, the opinions of others, or even your next breath. You are simply another traveler passing through this space.
Your only true power lies in your perspective:
- Travel with Understanding: Acknowledge the impermanence of all things.
- Release Attachment: Recognize that control is an illusion and resistance leads to suffering.
Embrace the journey without grasping at the scenery. Finally, understand that this journey is meant to be finished alone and quietly.
There is nothing on this earth as powerful as being content with the present moment. Let go of the need to solve the future, and simply live the now.
