Ending Anxiety

Anxiety typically arises from the false assumption that life should make us happy and if we want to be happy, we’ve got to arrange matters in “the right way” so we can relax and be happy. What complicates matters more is that becoming anxious tends to narrow and darken our thinking making it hard to know what to do to “get things right”. So, here’s some information that can really help: “There’s a light within us that never leaves and can never be taken from us. It is not contingent upon any external circumstances or what has happened in our lives. Evidence for this is the fact that without a troubling thought on our minds, we naturally and effortlessly become positive — we experience peace, mental health and feel the warmth of the love within. We don’t have to do anything or think anything to make it happen. It is just the way we are built. This is our human consciousness — the light of our world.” “Life is not supposed to make us happy. Love and happiness are bundled into our composition. We are the bringers of love and happiness.” — quotes are from “Shooting Arrows at the Moon” by Phil Kromka. Understanding this tends to broaden and brighten our outlook on matters. We find more peace and that mental peace give us that which we really want as well as providing space for really helpful ideas to appear. “There is no time when the radiant wisdom within is switched off. It is always present, available and true to us. We learn to trust and make use of it. If we consider ourselves to be surfers on the ebb and flow of life’s situations, most of us would have difficulty standing up, let alone getting a good ride due to our frequent auditing of our lives — worrying, reviewing our past, etc. Learning to surf over thoughts minimizes their significance and maintains our connection to the radiant wisdom within. It changes life from a struggle to uplifting anticipation. In a split second, every moment becomes the past and we’re on to the next one. We don’t have to know what to do, we can just let the knowing come to us.“ — also from “Shooting Arrows at the Moon” by Phil Kromka.
