‎"Problems begin when we don’t get what we think we want, when this
physical world becomes for us all that there is. This world is but a journey, a mere traveling experience on our way to our real journey. If we know this, then how we be sad or affected by this physical world? Today, don’t let the world get you down.†Yeheda Bergreal
Striver wrote, "Does anyone think this is asking alot of myself?" Yes for it happens to be an ideal few attain, for life is in constant flux and it is hard to stay grounded. Oh, i'm sure some are more capable in comparison with others. But, i think every one has a struggle and we can not always see the struggle in other people's lives. It is a worthy idea, but it is a constant journey. One needs to change course directions. Do not be too hard with yourself.
An ideal to follow is:
In a religious sense one is one with Tao, in Taoism.
One is with reality.
One is not fighting reality.
One is not trying to control reality.
One is surrendering to the universe.
One is surrendering one's ego.
One is one with the "holy ghost".
One is one with Gaia.
