Lack and a Matter of Perspective
How often do I hear from those who have money and lack free time to those who enjoy lots of free time and lack money? Where do I fit in? I move and cross the lines frequently--often seeing a combination of states. The funny thing? Wherever I sit, I yearn to be on the other side. I've noticed this becoming a problem for me: the irritation, and the desperation, the longing. How do I just become content with being where I am? How do I find a balance? I've tried meditation, gurus, books, and counselling. I don't think one answer exists for all people. Maybe we aren't meant to be static; maybe moving between these different possibilities and the struggle is what matters. Perhaps, I just need to be fine on occasion wherever I am and stop trying to change everything. I think if I can do this for one hour per day, I am doing well.
