think and grow rich made me think and grow poor
in 2018 i was listening to a podcast by michael pilarczyk
he talked about think and grow rich
thoughts are things
you can choose your thoughts
you become what you think
add burning desire and emotion and you bend reality
my mind went wild
this felt revolutionary
finally a framework to control life
fast forward a few years
i was fully committed
goals
morning rituals
affirmations
visualization
discipline
feeding my mind the right information
and yes
in many ways my life improved
better health
more money
more focus
more spirituality
but not less suffering
actually the opposite
my mind was constantly ahead of life
thinking about what was next
what was missing
what needed fixing
it was never enough
and i was never enough
that is when i understood something uncomfortable
the buddha was right
the mind and desire are powerful sources of suffering
thinking pulls you out of life
into the past or the future
never into now
life only happens now
you cannot think your way into the present moment
that is why buddhists speak about no mind
not because the mind is bad
but because it is the wrong tool for peace
what changed everything for me was not thinking better
it was feeling
feeling the breath now
feeling the belly now
feeling my feet on the ground now
attention can only be in one place
when it is with sensation
it cannot be lost in thought
you will get distracted
and you return
that return is the real practice
a bicep curl for awareness
feeling made me truly grow rich
it helped me feel ok without fixing
notice what is here
and make cleaner decisions from the body
the mind lies
the body does not
this is next level truth
feel and grow rich
have you been feeling more in the classroom of this community lately?
how has that been for you?
