One of the greatest blessings of being human is having the freedom to create your inner experience independent of outer circumstances. Though many people haven’t fully mastered this art, it’s a key ingredient to living a joyful life. When your experience isn’t bound by conditions beyond your control, you are free. You can develop this life enhancing skill by removing your attention from what you don’t like and placing it on what you do. Though this is conceptually simple, making it a habit takes effort. Like every other form of mastery, it requires one thing…
Practice!

I am grateful for this path to being human.
I find the habit required existing on two levels. The first is the habit of consciousness of the gift of the ability to create inner experience; the second is remembering the gap in the woods to that path.
Practice, patient practice, and remembering to credit myself for the huge progress I’ve made.
