iamomThere is only so much the body can do. Ideas may abound about what is possible down the road, but today, there is a finite capacity to what can be physically accomplished.
Striving for more than what can be accomplished today creates stress. With stress, comes suffering.
Living with what is creates nothing. With nothing, there is emptiness. Acceptance. And unadulterated, unfettered functioning. Functioning borne of its own will. Functioning that results in whatever is actually needed in that moment. Functioning which requires no input from the apparent body-mind so apparently in control of itself.
The functioning occurs naturally, with or without our apparent mental support. To give in willfully to that is to live in harmony with the moment. To live in peace. To be free from suffering.
Accept it all, without judgment, and suddenly your world stops living at odds with itself.
