You mean, there’s an alternative to chaos?

‘My life is this constant roller-coaster, Alex.’

She gave me a dejected look.

I knew what she meant because I could relate so well.

One day, you’re sitting on your sofa in despair, like everything is crumbling around you, and there’s no way out.

The next day, you feel like you’ve cracked the code to a happy life.

Moments like these amplify the seemingly absurd nature of our lives.

Up and down.

And, it can be in an instant.

Are we crazy?

No, we’re humans who think.

(Too much)

I’m not totally without these fleeting ups and downs in my life, but things are more stable now.

I’m more consistently happy and at ease more of the time.

And it took a lot of pain to figure out how to get here.

Reflection and reading gave me a realisation one day, as clear as a bell:

Just one thing separates those who experience a more stable life from those in near-perpetual chaos and calamity.

It’s not luck, or lack thereof.

It has little to do with your circumstances (yeah, really).

It isn’t even about your thoughts.

It is, however, everything to do with how we respond to our thoughts.

My life is absurdly chaotic when I take my thoughts too seriously, for too long.

It really is that simple.

How can that be?

Because when my negative thoughts no longer play the major role they once did in dictating my experience, I have time and focus left over for actually living.

Now I see things for what they are, more of the time.

Pure, lucid, beautiful data - free of the sharp jabs of fabricated judgement.

I’m not tied to the tree of my thoughts in a vast forest.

I’m free.

When we understand how powerful our thoughts can be when we allow them to affect us, we are free.

Because understanding is everything.
