Endless Wants or Endless Peace?

Endless Wants or Endless Peace?

A Chapter by Ekai Stone

There will never be a point in my life that I lean back, place my hands behind my head, exhale and say, "Ahhh, I've made it!" Because so far with every plan that's matured, new plans for the future are dreamt up.

The survey has proved conclusively what has long been held theoretically to be true, that wants are almost insatiable; that one want satisfied makes way for another. The conclusion is that economically we have a boundless field before us; that there are new wants which will make way endlessly for newer wants, as fast as they are satisfied..." -Herbert Hoover 1929

Whatever you're doing right this minute - think for a second... Let your past catch up with your current position right now by recalling all that's been wonderful and all that's been miserable up until this very moment. Understand that it's all happened foryou, not to you. It's helped make you into who you are.

Now think about all that you want for yourself in the future... Is it cars, a big house, a family, your own business, ...a puppy?

Well, take your past and the future you just dreamt up and LET IT GO. Let it go and let this quote marinate in your mind:

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present." -Lao Tzu

Stay centered my friends and nothing can phase you.
-Ekai
