Nothing is that important. Our minds make things important b/c that’s how our ego hangs around. Nothing is important, except what you’re doing right now, at this moment.
Yesterday, I had something important on my mind. It created anxiety. I don’t even remember what it is. What I do know is that my karma is to feel that anxiety. If I don’t have something to worry about, I’ll create something. Looking back, none of it was important. My mind gave it importance.
The problem w/ the mind is that it can get out of control pretty easy. Sure, it helps me solve problems; but it’s not me. My thoughts are not me. It’s just my mind. You can’t ignore it, just not personalize it.
It’s funny. I had a really good day today. I enjoyed myself, on a weekday, when I should be working. My ego did not like this at all. That night, I picked a fight with myself over nothing. What’s the answer? I have to see desire for what it is. Desire is the ego’s motivation. No desire and the ego weakens.
