You are More Than You Think || The Art of Letting Go 

Simon Turner I am really struggling with this. My industry is digitalising and I may be made redundant next few years. I’m nearly 40 and I’m still having to study, and work full time like I’m a student. If I fail, I’ll lose my house, probably my marriage and my wife may relocate (she’s from abroad and if I can’t support her, her family will). How on Earth do you transcend that and look at the bigger picture? I’m not looking for sympathy or advice, I understand you, nor anyone but me can change this, but I’m saying that the bigger picture is far easier to see when you have it easy. When you’re in imminent risk of ruin your mind is pretty focussed on reality, all of the time. I can’t even take medications as my best friend did and they ended up screwing him up and he committed suicide. Total mad rant, had to get it out. 😂. I’m just saying that “personal growth” is very easy from a place of comfort and very difficult from a place of relentless fraught worry and responsibility

rafer Jefferson iii i hope you find the best way. That being said, from my experience the difficulties lead to growth, there is not much need for it when life is on its track. I think the buddhists say something to the effect of; your worst enemy is your best friend. Because he helps you see your faults. This is not to say that your situation is actually good and you should be happy, i hope you find solutions to these future problems. But I disagree that life has to be good, or on track for there to be personal development. The drunk stops drinking otherwise his life goes to s... Before that decision to stop there is obviously a lot of turmoil, so much so that one contemplates ending it all. Also, i dont think it says anywhere it is supposed to be easy. It is hard, some fall of because its too hard. Also, maybe zoom out even further. Its not easy, so im not trying to belittle the problems you are describing. Just that in the end, what really matters? In any case I wish you all the best!

rafer Jefferson iii once upon a time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically. “Maybe,” the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed. “Maybe,” replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. “Maybe,” answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Maybe,” said the farmer.

@@thobraa thanks man

Kitsuné Noir please talk to someone my friend. I lost my best friend to suicide last year, it’s a terrible thing. It seems like a dark place but it’s a forever decision. I don’t know you but I’m sure people would be upset, I’m sure you have something to offer the world. Stay strong friend. I’ve been there too. It gets better. It will.

I believe you have all the knowledge you need, you just need to find it.

No idea!
