Focus On The Things That Matters
Life is full of things that do not matter, and you always think about it. The opinion of others, the past and the future, and death. Those are the things that you usually think of, which obviously sucks your mental energy out and obviously it does not matter that you need to think about it.
Death or the natural end is not that scary if you think about it. Death is a privilege and a great function of nature. It prevents you to be stuck in this endless loop of time. Death is just you losing your sole possession which is your consciousness of the present moment. Besides, if you think about time, you are just a brief period that passed by. As time progress, your identity and creation will be just an artifact of time. Well, there are people who lost their sole possession and became an artifact of time that is still relevant today.
Opinions of others should not be taken seriously. Everyone has the capacity to do that. But not everyone has the capacity for that. Because there are people that is ignorant of the fact that, words cut deeper than knives. But you can not blame them, besides you have the decision to be hurt or not to be hurt, it is all in you.
The past should not serve you, those part of your time is spent. Why you should think of it? there is no good on thinking about it. Besides, those time are now not yours, they now belong to death.
The future should not give you trouble, the future is just a "future" as long it is not your present. Besides, the future is not something you think of, it is something you build. Although, the future is unpredictable, you have the power to shape it.
Focus on the thing that matters, do not let anything disrupt your gift, your sole possession which is your present moment. Use your possession to shape your "future". That is a meaningful and well-spent life.
