Whatever is going on is fine.
It’s fine until you think, “Oh, I have to do this for two more days, or five more years.”
Terror!
Two more days? Five more years?
No: Just now.
And now.
And now.

This is not about a destination.
It’s about being comfortable wherever you are now,
under any circumstances, rather than trying to manipulate
circumstances around you like age, disease, and death.

No one has ever made it. No one has survived, ever.
Survival is not the point.
Until you’re comfortable under any circumstances, your work isn’t finished.
How do you know when your work is done?
When they attack you and you notice that you love them
with all your heart, your work is done.

—Byron Katie
