The Buddha was born in a palace, yet he still felt miserable. The poverty he later experienced outside wasn’t any better. It was only once he learned to practice patience, to sit with suffering, and to not lose it when things went awry that he found he could calmly manage — even enjoy — both life’s ups and downs.
Try to pause before you react, analyze your feelings, and learn to shut things out on purpose . Most of all, remember you’ll never be perfect. Mastering our brains is a job that will take forever — and that’s okay.
