when you are falling... dive

was the very interesting answer on Quora by one Antti Vanhanen. The question was what is a way we can always get what we desire?

first, know that dreams and desires are limitless and cannot be defeated.

however, we have been conditioned to think happiness comes from fulfilling dreams and desires. essentially putting ourselves in a position to never find happiness.

the key is, to learn to desire what we already have.

easier said than done. we have been taught that the above would be what losers would say. we have been taught to have more would be great. that is because if desire does not exist, then how would those who have, have more?

so, to learn, lean in. when you are falling... dive. turn whatever misfortune is happening into a voluntary act. instead of resisting, embrace. want it to happen(!). lean in to pain, suffering, discomfort, confusion, lack.

tell me, do you then feel the truth in the answer? please share as i am not sure i will have the courage to dive!
