260209 What I learned in my studies this morning 6

Today's Mediation:

You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh, Happiness and Peace are Possible

Let it be.

How hard is that?

No, really how hard is that? Oh! The urge to meddle. To fix. To fixate.

Insidious. Sly. Crafty. I don't even see it coming until I've already stuck my nose in. Every once in a while I notice and try to stop it — IF I notice, I usually can; awareness is the key —but too often I only recognize what's happened after I've interfered.

You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone. Meditations 6.52 (Hicks and Hicks)

How wonderful it is to be able to have no opinion. If I've no opinion, I've no reason to butt in. Saving me trouble and unwanted emotions such as frustration, anger, envy.

Learn to not fight. To let be. To accept as is. To lose preconception.
