Can You Be Happy Now?
I suggest that you not do The Work with the motive of healing your body.
Go in for the love of truth.
Heal your mind.
Meet your stressful thoughts with understanding.
You may spend years eating the right food, exercising every day, and getting your body in optimal shape, and then a truck hits you in the crosswalk.
Can you be happy right now? -not tomorrow, not in ten minutes?
I use the word happy to mean the natural state of peace and clarity.
That’s what The Work gives us.
