Meditating

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as the problem, but in reality whatever problem we experience come from the mind.

If we were to respond to difficulties with a positive and peaceful state of mind they wouldn't be problems for us; indeed we may even come to regard then as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to a situation with a negative state of mind.

Therefore, if we want to transform our life and be free of problems we must learn to transform our mind. Suffering, problems, worries, unhappiness, and pain all exist within our mind; they are all unpleasant feelings, which are part of the mind.

Through controlling and purifying our mind we can stop them once and for all.
