A reminder that can change your life.

Here’s a reminder.

You probably know this, but maybe you really, REALLY need it right now.

And we most definitely need reminders, as long as we’re so deeply and stubbornly engaged with the mind.

So let this sink in.

Once more.

Here we go.

One of the things that make our lives so difficult (and interesting, that too) is the absoluteness of our moods.

Our feelings and emotions in the moment capture ALL of our attention, and fill up every last piece and extremity of our body.

They color everything and not just the present moment, but also the past and the future of this ‘now’.

Our emotional experiences of life are extremely overwhelming and captivating.

When we feel like shit, everything seems to be covered in shit.

Our future.

Our personality.

Our career.

Our options.

Our relationships.

Tomorrow.

Last week.

And whatever we do, whatever we try, wherever we look: it all smells like shit.
