Psychology Has It Backwards

Episode 206: Trying, Seeking, and Doing

Without intending to, we often put pressure on ourselves from trying too hard and seeking to achieve goals that may be unreasonable, which amounts to doing more and more and becoming increasingly frustrated.  Many “accomplished” people live on the edge of exhaustion and get no joy from what they do.  If we turn in the direction we want to go, and then quiet our minds and listen for our own wisdom, we’ll see what to do, at what pace, and we’ll enjoy the journey as much as appreciating the destination.
