1–2 minutesThe things we want have a cost. Wanting is free.

You create your state
°
1–2 minutesThings affect you because you decide to care: you made it about you. Most of your cares are small and serve no one, not even yourself.
Equally, you can let nothing affect you and become a stone. How boring.
Be aware, be particular.

Why are you trying so hard? To live well? You can do that right now.
Don’t let the "to do" block you from "being" and "becoming." - Theme: Self

°
