Everyone wants to be happy. 

But for most people, the more we understand and chase it, the less happy we can be. And this typically happens with the sensual type of happiness.

There is a second type of happiness, which is more consistent, sustainable, and plentiful from the source.

It is ...

- unconditional,

- not constrained by where you are, when, and your circumstances,

- focused inwards,

- and comes with practice.

Pursue this second kind :)

Power is not only political or external. We are talking about you feeling power - internally, over your life, in the present moment. Here's how you gain power and become a free agent! 1. More skills lead to more freedom. Collect and hone skills. 2. Incorrect thinking that all that you now experience comes from either past actions, randomness or God's defined roadmap. Also, past actions do influence our present, but in a limited way. Lack of Agency makes you miserable. Change mindset, and take agency. 3. If have to get attached to something, get attached to mastering a skill. Don't let either pain or pleasure overcome you.  ------ Sign up for the weekly exercise and related meditation, delivered on Fridays, at mindmattersoul.beehiiv.com!
