sounds good, as the journey is the path and not the destination.
even when Buddha sat at the bodhi tree he was happy.
Zen proverb: be as water in the stream flowing over the rock, not trying to move the rock.

Lao Tzu, I Ching;
Be green and flexible = to life.
Be hard dry and brittle = to death.

The spoked wheel can not move without the hollow empty space in the center. A vessel without a void is of no use.



I agree with you sir.
Dr Daisaku ikeda says, " buddhism is not getting happiness at a particular place or at a particular time, it is getting happiness where you are right now at that particular time".

it is the silence between the notes that makes the music. if not it would be uninterrupted noise. It is the space between the bars that holds the tiger in.

I try not to overthink life

I have faith in my ability to react and make the correct decision so that I don't have to worry over every possible eventuality

unfortunately that is true, but only because we can't let go of people, places or things influencing what we believe will make us happy. let go.
