Life -- our greatest teacher

It's that time of the year where everyone is riding the crest of another set of New Year resolutions.

Not me.

Like I've been saying over and over, there's nothing to do, nowhere to go and nothing to get.

There just is.

In any event, who is it that's obsessed with betterment?

Better than what?

Living.

Truth is, life is the best teacher. Period.

Anger, frustration, separation from reality and all the other areas that still catch you out. I'd look there -- thoughts, feelings, sensations -- and not outwith at another set of faux goals.

Oh, and money. Always the money. (One simple question is all you need: "What's enough?")

And no, this isn't about perfection. This is about your being judicious with where you spend your time and expend your energy.

What am I really saying?

In a nutshell. Stop worrying about what you're not, focus on true self and stop obsessing for a better life.

Blessings,

Julian
