Figure out why you seek Truth until it is the only thing that makes sense to do. If you are unable to do that; figure out why. If you are unable to do that; figure out why • ♾️

You are always going to wish you had better sleep, money, food, relationships, hobbies, crafts, etc. Never stop pursuing those, simultaneously. It will be true regardless of ego perception.

Only an ego can pursue Truth, anyhow— these things are not separate.

You need to survive in this body to pursue God. It is the whole point.

If either pursuit clashes, you are doing it wrong.

Truth allows creation from the finite to be much more enjoyable and consistent because the Infinite and finite are joined, no longer at odds.

I imagine that giving my life situation, to some extent I feel called towards truth, but at the same time I also use it as escapism

What does happy-healthy-successful look like for you in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years?

Right now I would tell you that I’d love to make my first million before I turn 30, working with meditation, maybe opening a wellness centre or having some kind of online academy… working online would be great, so I would not have problems on travelling and working from wherever I want, but also retire my parents and help my mom with dad’s therapies and take care of him. I think this is what my success would look like. Financial freedom, conscious job, helping family. Then with money health is something that would be easy to achieve (speaking of quality food, exercise, etc. - of course you never know what can happen to you, but I’m talking about the things you can control)
