Experiences are desires
When youāre trying hard to experience something special in life, youāre actually chasing your desires without being aware of them.
The funny thing is when you try hard to get special experiences from life, you miss whatever is right in front of you.Ā
- Life is not about the things you get to experience, itās something you experience regardless of what you do.
That means every experience is worth it. Whether itās something you desired or not.Ā

āYou have to understand that it is your attempt to get special experiences from life that makes you miss the actual experience of life. Life is not something you get; itās something you experience.ā

Practice the ālast timeā meditation
On small occasions during the day, pretend itās the last time youāll experience that thing youāre doing.
- When youāre drinking a cup of coffee, pretend this is the last time in your life you will drink coffee. After your last cup, coffee beans will vanish from the planet.
You can do this for almost everything. That instantly makes us more appreciative of the task we're doing.

Change is optional
We often want to change our surroundings because we donāt like them. Thereās nothing wrong with trying to change your life.
Instead, view change as optional . Adopt a mindset of,
- ļ»æāIām good with the way my life is right now. And if I can change some things, thatās great. But if it doesnāt work out, thatās fine too.ā
That way youāre good with any experience in life. Itās a beautiful way to live because no matter what happens, you will be happy and content.
