The Moon Cannot Be Stolen

In this episode, we discuss a Zen Story that shows us the importance of being content. We will also discuss the trap of desire and how getting what we want can actually move us further away from being happy.

Show Notes

• “He has the most who is content with the least.” -Diogenes
•  “It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more, that is poor.” -Seneca
•  “He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.” -Socrates
• What if we could find contentment and inner peace right here right now? What if everything you were chasing was just taking you further away from yourself. Imagine a world where we could all perceive this.
• The most important thing we can learn is how to be content right now. It is an instant ROI on your time and energy.
• The happiest people are those who are present in the moment and desire the least.
• “The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately. True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so, wants nothing. -Seneca
•  You may not have everything you think you need at this moment, but you still have this moment. It is a moment that wasn’t promised to you, yet here you are. Alive and aware. What simple thing can you be grateful for right now?
