Problems arise depending on how fixed our ideas are, or how “attached ” we are to a particular vision of what a “good life” means. Is it a certain lifestyle or income, and is our role to provide that for our family? If so, then if something gets in the way of our earning enough o achieve this lifestyle, we will suffer. If ones identity is attached or stuck to a particular role…then disappointment, depression, anger and shame will arise if we can’t live up to it. Remember, everything in life is changing, impermanent.

I read these things and its so easy to sit here and ponder on how true they all are. We are in such a pre conditioned state of mind which makes these things so hard to put into practice. If only I could have been wiser sooner! Or even wise!! š
