[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 642231, member: 13542"] HLM, I've been studying the concept of finding inner peace by giving up judgement, comparison and the attachment to the outcome. I've been picking away at this for decades........how judgement is so intricately interwoven into our thoughts, so much so we don't even know we're doing it. And, comparisons, whether you come out on top or the bottom, are an egoic exercise is measuring our worth by being more than another, or God forbid, less than........and then our expectations of outcome, the desire for it to be a certain way, or else we can't be happy..........these concepts are such a part of me, to attempt to observe it and stop it is a real challenge..........and yet, honestly, when I can stop the judgments, stop the comparisons, stop the attachment to the outcome...........wow, I am feeling pretty darn good! And, man, it takes an extraordinary amount of practice and presence, I am working on this pretty much full time now.............like you, I can observe myself falling into any one of those traps, notice how bad it makes me feel and pull myself out pretty quickly.......... I like it too HLM. I enjoy your ideas and your optimism, your ability to see the glass half full even when it appears empty........your take on things is inspiring and refreshing.......I like it a lot. I learn a lot from you too........keep em' comin' HLM, I'm always thirsty for new thoughts and new ways of seeing things........... [/QUOTE]
