There’s one thing that usually stands in the way of each and everyone of us at some point in our lives.

That entity is the mind. It’s been said, and experienced by me, that the mind can become your worst enemy if you allow it to dictate your every move.

It’s so easy to become a victim of the mind because we are trained to put it first, above the heart.

When in actuality, the mind can only measure what it’s going to lose. In understanding this, it goes into a fight or flight mode to keep this from happening.

While all of this is going on, the mind is just creating one problem after another, eventually leaving us exhausted beyond measure. This does not ever have to happen. The only way to keep it from happening is to surrender the personal mind and ego to emptiness. Thus allowing the heart to fill your mind with immeasurable peace and joy.
