The mind wants to make things complex.
There has to be some reason, some grand scheme, some ultimate purpose.
It ties itself in knots attempting to figure it out.
It invents complexity upon complexity.
The mind says, "I have not figured it out and I must in order to fulfill my life."
This turns into anxiety and then into deep suffering.
Drop everything the mind is saying. See the fact that each of those thoughts is a hot coal. If you grab on to one, do you not suffer? Each one is dangerous to your state of mind and well being. Don't touch them.
For this moment, just focus on breathing. Know that just breathing is a physiological miracle.
The simple act of being is enough.
To breathe is enough.
To be alive is enough.
