Don’t we?

Sometimes at BMF, we lie down to do sit ups and on the days when it’s light I remember how much I like staring up at the clouds.

not only does contentment provide the opportunity for minimalism, it also reduces your stress level, improves your outlook, relaxes your body, and makes your life enjoyable. there is an unmistakable freedom that follows contentment: a freedom to be who you are, enjoy who you are, and live the life you were destined to live.

Funny, I was meaning to write something today about something that happened last week and this post popped up.

I’d had a not-so-great day and I decided that to make myself feel better that I would do something for someone else (related to number in the linked list – help others). I stopped and spent a little time doing that. I did the things I had been meaning to do for a little while.

Sometimes easy to forget the little things we can do for others and how those simple acts can make them and yourself feel.

I meant to write about how difficult I was finding sorting all my things out but this picture kind of sums it up.

It seems very common for Western Buddhists (and others) to take their rejection of materialism to mean that one must go from thinking “I’ll be happy when I have more” to “I’ll be happy when I have less”. The fallacy of course is the “I’ll be happy when…” anything. Thinking about these objects and whether they are in your possession or not is tying you to them. Leave it. Be happy now.

In any case, setting up a Posterous account – add your Wordpress account to autopost and then send an email to Posterous who will post automatically to your blog.

Easy. Peasy. Took 5 minutes, if that, to set up.
