However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney.

In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job?

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job.

In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost.

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow.

So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future.

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy.

Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed.

\n

P:<\/strong> Okay, thank you. So, there is no problem here and now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Sorry, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Q:<\/strong> I know you said that there is no purpose in life, but I always feel there is a purpose and I can\u2019t figure it out. I am frustrated everyday trying to figure out my passion and what my goals are. Right now, I am an actress but I am struggling with a day time job and trying to pursue acting at the same time. I do not know where to go from here. I feel like I have so much potential, but I haven\u2019t tapped into it. I get frustrated because I feel like when I have goals I accomplish them and I get through them \u2013 I went through college and go to work \u2013 but I feel like I have no sense of purpose. I do not know where to go from here, and feel like I am just idling and procrastinating. That is my future question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Okay, thank you. So, there is no problem here and now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Sorry, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy.

So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Thank you. It is an honor to be here. I have two questions: one about my past and one about my future. When I was twelve years old, I was abandoned. My mom left me to move to Guam from Boston to work and make money to sponsor one of my sisters from Vietnam, so she could come to America. When I was twelve, I didn\u2019t know any of that. I just felt that she had left me, and I never really recovered from that. So, at the age of twelve, I lived with my cousins, and then I was passed on to my sisters, and I stayed with her I was eighteen years old. And I have been supporting myself since I turned eighteen. I live with my mom right now. We talk, but I can\u2019t fully forgive her for what she did to me when I was twelve. And I\u2019ve always asked her about it. I tried to confront her, but she is 75 years old, and her story is different, and I\u2019m not satisfied with her answer. I don\u2019t feel like she\u2019s telling me the truth. And I try to get passed it, but I\u2019m always blaming her. And I don\u2019t know how to get passed that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> How about the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> I know you said that there is no purpose in life, but I always feel there is a purpose and I can\u2019t figure it out. I am frustrated everyday trying to figure out my passion and what my goals are. Right now, I am an actress but I am struggling with a day time job and trying to pursue acting at the same time. I do not know where to go from here. I feel like I have so much potential, but I haven\u2019t tapped into it. I get frustrated because I feel like when I have goals I accomplish them and I get through them \u2013 I went through college and go to work \u2013 but I feel like I have no sense of purpose. I do not know where to go from here, and feel like I am just idling and procrastinating. That is my future question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Okay, thank you. So, there is no problem here and now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Sorry, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: There are so much negativity around us. How can we train our thoughts as individuals to become better people in society? Because it's so hard to come to a point of individual peace, having peace within yourself and peace of the surroundings around you. Is there a way that you can everyday train yourself to be at peace so that you are not stressed and angry at the world and people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Thank you. It is an honor to be here. I have two questions: one about my past and one about my future. When I was twelve years old, I was abandoned. My mom left me to move to Guam from Boston to work and make money to sponsor one of my sisters from Vietnam, so she could come to America. When I was twelve, I didn\u2019t know any of that. I just felt that she had left me, and I never really recovered from that. So, at the age of twelve, I lived with my cousins, and then I was passed on to my sisters, and I stayed with her I was eighteen years old. And I have been supporting myself since I turned eighteen. I live with my mom right now. We talk, but I can\u2019t fully forgive her for what she did to me when I was twelve. And I\u2019ve always asked her about it. I tried to confront her, but she is 75 years old, and her story is different, and I\u2019m not satisfied with her answer. I don\u2019t feel like she\u2019s telling me the truth. And I try to get passed it, but I\u2019m always blaming her. And I don\u2019t know how to get passed that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> How about the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> I know you said that there is no purpose in life, but I always feel there is a purpose and I can\u2019t figure it out. I am frustrated everyday trying to figure out my passion and what my goals are. Right now, I am an actress but I am struggling with a day time job and trying to pursue acting at the same time. I do not know where to go from here. I feel like I have so much potential, but I haven\u2019t tapped into it. I get frustrated because I feel like when I have goals I accomplish them and I get through them \u2013 I went through college and go to work \u2013 but I feel like I have no sense of purpose. I do not know where to go from here, and feel like I am just idling and procrastinating. That is my future question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Okay, thank you. So, there is no problem here and now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Sorry, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now.

Q: There are so much negativity around us. How can we train our thoughts as individuals to become better people in society? Because it's so hard to come to a point of individual peace, having peace within yourself and peace of the surroundings around you. Is there a way that you can everyday train yourself to be at peace so that you are not stressed and angry at the world and people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Thank you. It is an honor to be here. I have two questions: one about my past and one about my future. When I was twelve years old, I was abandoned. My mom left me to move to Guam from Boston to work and make money to sponsor one of my sisters from Vietnam, so she could come to America. When I was twelve, I didn\u2019t know any of that. I just felt that she had left me, and I never really recovered from that. So, at the age of twelve, I lived with my cousins, and then I was passed on to my sisters, and I stayed with her I was eighteen years old. And I have been supporting myself since I turned eighteen. I live with my mom right now. We talk, but I can\u2019t fully forgive her for what she did to me when I was twelve. And I\u2019ve always asked her about it. I tried to confront her, but she is 75 years old, and her story is different, and I\u2019m not satisfied with her answer. I don\u2019t feel like she\u2019s telling me the truth. And I try to get passed it, but I\u2019m always blaming her. And I don\u2019t know how to get passed that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> How about the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> I know you said that there is no purpose in life, but I always feel there is a purpose and I can\u2019t figure it out. I am frustrated everyday trying to figure out my passion and what my goals are. Right now, I am an actress but I am struggling with a day time job and trying to pursue acting at the same time. I do not know where to go from here. I feel like I have so much potential, but I haven\u2019t tapped into it. I get frustrated because I feel like when I have goals I accomplish them and I get through them \u2013 I went through college and go to work \u2013 but I feel like I have no sense of purpose. I do not know where to go from here, and feel like I am just idling and procrastinating. That is my future question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Okay, thank you. So, there is no problem here and now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Sorry, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Thank you. It is an honor to be here. I have two questions: one about my past and one about my future. When I was twelve years old, I was abandoned.

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You have to admit as a first step that when you are not doing something, it means that you don\u2019t want to do it. Let\u2019s go back to the moment you wanted to get up. You should just get up at 5 am. Then, there\u2019s no need for that tension of wanting to get up but not being able to. You make the decision to want to get up only when you don\u2019t want to get up. All thoughts are distractions. To stop being distracted, when the alarm goes off, just get up right away, instead of thinking that you need to get up. instead of deciding not to procrastinate anymore, just do it. Instead of thinking about going, just get there. Instead of thinking about giving something, just give it. Your action must come before your words. Only then will you be able to change your karma. However, it is true that it is extremely hard to change your karma. When you don\u2019t change your habits, it means that you can still bear living with your karma. Although you procrastinated, you were able to graduated, right? When you begin work, you will continue to procrastinate, but you will still be okay. You can just live the way you are, and don\u2019t worry too much about your procrastination. Of course, there are some consequences for procrastinating. If you don\u2019t want those consequences, you have to change. Instead of thinking of doing something, just do it. Then, you will change. However, this is extremely hard, so I am not sure whether you will be able to change.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How Can I Break My Procrastination Habit?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"how-can-i-break-my-procrastination-habit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-16 15:40:28","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-16 20:40:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/demo2021\/?p=3694","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3469,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2021-03-26 23:19:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-26 23:19:33","post_content":"\n

Q: Thank you. It is an honor to be here. I have two questions: one about my past and one about my future. When I was twelve years old, I was abandoned. My mom left me to move to Guam from Boston to work and make money to sponsor one of my sisters from Vietnam, so she could come to America. When I was twelve, I didn\u2019t know any of that. I just felt that she had left me, and I never really recovered from that. So, at the age of twelve, I lived with my cousins, and then I was passed on to my sisters, and I stayed with her I was eighteen years old. And I have been supporting myself since I turned eighteen. I live with my mom right now. We talk, but I can\u2019t fully forgive her for what she did to me when I was twelve. And I\u2019ve always asked her about it. I tried to confront her, but she is 75 years old, and her story is different, and I\u2019m not satisfied with her answer. I don\u2019t feel like she\u2019s telling me the truth. And I try to get passed it, but I\u2019m always blaming her. And I don\u2019t know how to get passed that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> How about the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> I know you said that there is no purpose in life, but I always feel there is a purpose and I can\u2019t figure it out. I am frustrated everyday trying to figure out my passion and what my goals are. Right now, I am an actress but I am struggling with a day time job and trying to pursue acting at the same time. I do not know where to go from here. I feel like I have so much potential, but I haven\u2019t tapped into it. I get frustrated because I feel like when I have goals I accomplish them and I get through them \u2013 I went through college and go to work \u2013 but I feel like I have no sense of purpose. I do not know where to go from here, and feel like I am just idling and procrastinating. That is my future question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Okay, thank you. So, there is no problem here and now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Sorry, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong>\u00a0Actually, you maintain the habit because you really don\u2019t want to get rid of it. For example, when you try to wake up in the morning\u2026 Let\u2019s say you usually wake up at 6 am. You decide to wake up at 5 am in order to pray, but you fail to wake up at 5am. The next day, you can\u2019t wake up at 5am either. So, this is what we tell ourselves. \u201cI want to get up at five in the morning, but my body isn\u2019t cooperating.\u201d But that\u2019s not true. You go to sleep, and the alarm rings at 5am. You think to yourself, \u201cI need to wake up, I need to wake up, I need to wakeup\u2026.\u201d Let\u2019s say you say that ten times to yourself. What can you discover? Does it mean that you want to get up or that you don\u2019t want to get up? It means that you don\u2019t want to get up. That\u2019s why you are not getting up. If you analyse it, your thought or your conscious knows you need to get up, but your heart or your subconscious \u2013 because it has become used to waking up at 6 am \u2013 refuses to wake up. That\u2019s why there is conflict between your conscious and your subconscious. Who wins this battle? Your subconscious usually wins. So, your subconscious is much more powerful than your conscious. There\u2019s an adage in Korea, \u201cWhen you resolve to do something, the resolution only lasts three days.\u201d When you decide to form a new habit or start a new activity, you can rarely continue doing it for more than three days. That\u2019s why you have to change your subconscious. Changing a habit is not a matter of choice or decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You have to admit as a first step that when you are not doing something, it means that you don\u2019t want to do it. Let\u2019s go back to the moment you wanted to get up. You should just get up at 5 am. Then, there\u2019s no need for that tension of wanting to get up but not being able to. You make the decision to want to get up only when you don\u2019t want to get up. All thoughts are distractions. To stop being distracted, when the alarm goes off, just get up right away, instead of thinking that you need to get up. instead of deciding not to procrastinate anymore, just do it. Instead of thinking about going, just get there. Instead of thinking about giving something, just give it. Your action must come before your words. Only then will you be able to change your karma. However, it is true that it is extremely hard to change your karma. When you don\u2019t change your habits, it means that you can still bear living with your karma. Although you procrastinated, you were able to graduated, right? When you begin work, you will continue to procrastinate, but you will still be okay. You can just live the way you are, and don\u2019t worry too much about your procrastination. Of course, there are some consequences for procrastinating. If you don\u2019t want those consequences, you have to change. Instead of thinking of doing something, just do it. Then, you will change. However, this is extremely hard, so I am not sure whether you will be able to change.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How Can I Break My Procrastination Habit?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"how-can-i-break-my-procrastination-habit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-16 15:40:28","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-16 20:40:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/demo2021\/?p=3694","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3469,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2021-03-26 23:19:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-26 23:19:33","post_content":"\n

Q: Thank you. It is an honor to be here. I have two questions: one about my past and one about my future. When I was twelve years old, I was abandoned. My mom left me to move to Guam from Boston to work and make money to sponsor one of my sisters from Vietnam, so she could come to America. When I was twelve, I didn\u2019t know any of that. I just felt that she had left me, and I never really recovered from that. So, at the age of twelve, I lived with my cousins, and then I was passed on to my sisters, and I stayed with her I was eighteen years old. And I have been supporting myself since I turned eighteen. I live with my mom right now. We talk, but I can\u2019t fully forgive her for what she did to me when I was twelve. And I\u2019ve always asked her about it. I tried to confront her, but she is 75 years old, and her story is different, and I\u2019m not satisfied with her answer. I don\u2019t feel like she\u2019s telling me the truth. And I try to get passed it, but I\u2019m always blaming her. And I don\u2019t know how to get passed that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> How about the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> I know you said that there is no purpose in life, but I always feel there is a purpose and I can\u2019t figure it out. I am frustrated everyday trying to figure out my passion and what my goals are. Right now, I am an actress but I am struggling with a day time job and trying to pursue acting at the same time. I do not know where to go from here. I feel like I have so much potential, but I haven\u2019t tapped into it. I get frustrated because I feel like when I have goals I accomplish them and I get through them \u2013 I went through college and go to work \u2013 but I feel like I have no sense of purpose. I do not know where to go from here, and feel like I am just idling and procrastinating. That is my future question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Okay, thank you. So, there is no problem here and now, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Sorry, what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> There\u2019s no problem right here and now. At this very moment, there\u2019s no problem. But you started crying when you thought back about the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> And then you started to suffer emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: I developed an issue of procrastination during graduate school. The problem is getting worse. If I am facing a lot of stress, for example, if I have several assignments I need to submit on a certain day, I only start doing them on the very last day before the due date. I have graduated, and I am going to start working. My work is in research, so I am very worried that I am going to continue the bad habit of procrastination in my work. Do you have any suggestions?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong>\u00a0Actually, you maintain the habit because you really don\u2019t want to get rid of it. For example, when you try to wake up in the morning\u2026 Let\u2019s say you usually wake up at 6 am. You decide to wake up at 5 am in order to pray, but you fail to wake up at 5am. The next day, you can\u2019t wake up at 5am either. So, this is what we tell ourselves. \u201cI want to get up at five in the morning, but my body isn\u2019t cooperating.\u201d But that\u2019s not true. You go to sleep, and the alarm rings at 5am. You think to yourself, \u201cI need to wake up, I need to wake up, I need to wakeup\u2026.\u201d Let\u2019s say you say that ten times to yourself. What can you discover? Does it mean that you want to get up or that you don\u2019t want to get up? It means that you don\u2019t want to get up. That\u2019s why you are not getting up. If you analyse it, your thought or your conscious knows you need to get up, but your heart or your subconscious \u2013 because it has become used to waking up at 6 am \u2013 refuses to wake up. That\u2019s why there is conflict between your conscious and your subconscious. Who wins this battle? Your subconscious usually wins. So, your subconscious is much more powerful than your conscious. There\u2019s an adage in Korea, \u201cWhen you resolve to do something, the resolution only lasts three days.\u201d When you decide to form a new habit or start a new activity, you can rarely continue doing it for more than three days. That\u2019s why you have to change your subconscious. Changing a habit is not a matter of choice or decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You have to admit as a first step that when you are not doing something, it means that you don\u2019t want to do it. Let\u2019s go back to the moment you wanted to get up. You should just get up at 5 am. Then, there\u2019s no need for that tension of wanting to get up but not being able to. You make the decision to want to get up only when you don\u2019t want to get up. All thoughts are distractions. To stop being distracted, when the alarm goes off, just get up right away, instead of thinking that you need to get up. instead of deciding not to procrastinate anymore, just do it. Instead of thinking about going, just get there. Instead of thinking about giving something, just give it. Your action must come before your words. Only then will you be able to change your karma. However, it is true that it is extremely hard to change your karma. When you don\u2019t change your habits, it means that you can still bear living with your karma. Although you procrastinated, you were able to graduated, right? When you begin work, you will continue to procrastinate, but you will still be okay. You can just live the way you are, and don\u2019t worry too much about your procrastination. Of course, there are some consequences for procrastinating. If you don\u2019t want those consequences, you have to change. Instead of thinking of doing something, just do it. Then, you will change. However, this is extremely hard, so I am not sure whether you will be able to change.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How Can I Break My Procrastination Habit?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"how-can-i-break-my-procrastination-habit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-16 15:40:28","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-16 20:40:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/demo2021\/?p=3694","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":3469,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2021-03-26 23:19:33","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-26 23:19:33","post_content":"\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No one is abandoning you right now, so it is the memory of being abandoned a long time ago that is making you suffer and feel sad right now. The cause of all your suffering, the reason you are suffering now, is all in the past. It\u2019s not something that\u2019s happening to you right now. You are living in the present, but your mind is filled with past memories. You are like an audience watching a movie in a movie theater. You feel sad when somebody dies in a movie, right? But if you turn off the screen, there is nothing there. Likewise, you have a personal screen in your head that is playing a video of your past over and over again. As you watch it, you feel sad, but you stop crying once you come back to the present. That\u2019s why you have to be awake in the present. If you start watching videos of your past again, your suffering will come back. Are you going to live the rest of your life watching videos of your past? That\u2019s why you have to be awake here and now. Look around you right now. Nothing is happening to you. You are alive. You are healthy. There is no reason for you to not be happy. But whenever you turn on the video inside your head, you suffer. Do you want to suffer? Then, continue watching that video. But if you do not want to suffer, stop watching it. Just throw away the video tape. But the problem is, it is difficult to throw away that tape because it just turns on automatically. That is why you need to make a little more effort. You need to practice and catch yourself whenever you see yourself slipping into the past and bring yourself right back to the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you find yourself slipping into the past, come back to the present and focus on the tip of your nose and be conscious of your breathing in order to become awake to the fact that you are breathing in and out. Your breath comes in and goes out. The only reality to you right now is that you are breathing in and out. If you are awake in the present, there is no suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever skin color you are born with, whatever gender you are, whether you are disabled or healthy, whatever ethnicity you are, whatever religious faith you are born into, there is no reason for you to suffer because every person has the right to be happy. So whatever suffering you experienced as a young boy or young girl, whether your mother abandoned you, whether you were sexually exploited, all these things happened to you in the past. So, if you stop watching that video from the past, and remain awake in the present, you have the ability to make yourself happy. So ultimately, it boils down to your choice. Are you going to continue to be sad watching videos of your past, or are you going to live in the present and be happy? You have to decide. It is not your mom\u2019s fault. Your mother gave birth to you. Without your mom, you would not exist here. If you ever become a mother, you will understand how painful it is for a mother to abandon her child. I am sure there was a situation that forced her to make that choice. I think it is very difficult for us to imagine what kind of suffering she had to go through to abandon her child. Because you are at an age in which you can become a mom, I think you should try to understand your mom\u2019s point of view as well. So, this is the prayer you should focus on. \u201cMom, thank you for giving birth to me\u201d. The prayer should be one of gratitude. Any other thoughts you allow to slip into your mind will only make you miserable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future takes care of itself. If you think about the future that has not come yet, you will become anxious and nervous about the future. Then, you will just be worried about the future. So, don\u2019t think too much about the future that still hasn\u2019t come because you have to be always awake in the present. Your experiences are not all bad for you. You said you are an actress, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Imagine you had to go back and draw and emote sadness, you have plenty of personal resources to draw from. You can probably be more authentic than any other person. Everything that you suffered in the past through your experiences can become the resource to build your future on. So, are you going to keep your experience as a source of suffering or as a resource that you can leverage to build your future? That is a choice you can make right now. Are you going to keep it as source of suffering? Are you going to keep it as your resource?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> Please go ahead, if you have any further questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s very clear now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: Would you say that the largest contributor to how you feel day to day, just comes from within, from your own thoughts, or from external activities and how you feel it physically?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: My question is how to control my mind that's becoming more greedy. I was able to graduate from program that I wanted. I think I could potentially get a job that I've been dreaming of. But these days, I had trouble getting a job after the graduation. I noticed myself wanting more and more, becoming more resentful of not being able to get a job. I try to control myself. I try to be more mindful of what's going on in my mind. But at times, it's hard to control myself and to be appreciative of what I have already. Do you have any tips?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> You said you have trouble getting a job?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> No. You have trouble getting a good job that you want. There are a lot of jobs available in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> Maybe you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> So the job you want is a good job right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q:<\/strong> It could be, but at the same time a lot of people who graduate from the program I did would get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P:<\/strong> We can\u2019t all achieve what we want. Graduating from law school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become an attorney. Entering medical school doesn\u2019t automatically mean you will become a doctor. So there is no reason for you to suffer just because you didn\u2019t get what you want. In this world, it is not possible for people to get everything they want. If you try to get 100 percent of what you want every time, you will be unhappy throughout your life. At the same time, you can\u2019t do everything that people ask of you. This is a reality of life. Do you want to live your life in misery because you can\u2019t accept this? If you want a job, just take any job you can get because you need make a living first and foremost. Then, while you are working on that job, you can try to transition into a better job, one that you want. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be unemployed for a long time just sitting around and waiting for the perfect job to come along. This is what I tell young people. You have to start off with a good first job. Then, you\u2019ll be able to hold a job for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you might be unemployed for the rest of your life. So what is the good first job? It can be defined as a job that requires a lot of work but pay little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a good reason why that\u2019s a good first job. First, there are a lot of such jobs around. You can even get one tomorrow. Second, you don\u2019t have to be too mindful of your boss because you don\u2019t have much to lose. Even if he fires you, it\u2019ll be easy for you to find another job right away. In fact, your boss may worry about losing you. It\u2019s because you are a very valuable employee given the fact that you don\u2019t get a big salary. So as an employee, you can actually be the boss of the situation, and you won\u2019t have to be afraid of getting fired. At the same time, you can always jump ship for a better job when the opportunity comes. Then, your boss will likely try to make you stay by offering you a raise. It will be your choice whether to stay or move to another job. No matter what your next job is, it is going to be better than the first one. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll be always employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if your first job pays a high salary and has a light workload, you will have trouble keeping it and getting another job. There is a lot of competition for that kind of job and everybody wants it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s tough to get a first job like that, and you may waste a few years trying to get one. Even if you get a job like that, you will be walking on eggshells in fear of getting fired. A big salary comes with strings attached since there a lot of expectations that come with that money. If you\u2019re not capable of meeting those expectations, you will be very stressed. Then, if you get fired, you won\u2019t be able to easily find a job because you\u2019ll be trying to get a comparable job to your first job. Then, you may live the rest of your life unemployed and feeling inferior all the time. It\u2019s a good thing you asked me today. First thing tomorrow morning, go and find a job, any job, and start working right away. Then, start applying for those jobs you really want. But don\u2019t try to get your dream job the first time around. Just, try to get a slightly better job each time. Then after you have changed jobs about five times, you may be able to find a job that you\u2019ll be happy with. So you shouldn\u2019t waste your time trying to find a perfect match from the beginning. I can tell you that you really don\u2019t have any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
