When I was a kid, I was happy, peaceful and healthy all the time. Now I have to try. 

I was going to complain about life, then realised it’s because I was an extremely lucky kid.

Recently, I seem to get irritated quite easily, and only reach a peaceful state of mind when I put aside time to really try.

Still, I think it’s good progress that I learnt to notice how peaceful I’m feeling, and use the agitation as an alert to know when I should calm my mind.

When my mind’s calm, I’m happy. When my mind’s wild, even sitting on the couch somehow feels a little sad.

Meditation really works.

It’s amazing how trying to focus on the sensations at your nostril calms your mind. I don’t understand.

I’d like to learn how to control my attention. I think I’m a lot more distracted now comparing to when I was a kid.

If I improve my control of my focus, then I can choose to focus on the bright side. So I can keep a calm and peaceful mind and be better prepared to deal with problems, and help others to be happier too.

We spend most our lives trying to improve things, and where are we trying to get?

When we have a problem, most of us by default get annoyed at it. Then we have 2 problems. How did evolution lead us here?
