Prosperity can be a poison. Typically when we are prospering this is seen as a good thing most of the time, and I would agree that most of the time this is a benefit to us. On the other hand though too much prosperity can cause us to lose sight of the bigger picture and pick and prod at smaller more insignificant issues just because we can. We can become bogged down in issues that take away from our life’s purpose when we aren’t forced to focus on being the best versions of ourselves that we can be. We can become thrown off track so easily when we allow small inconveniences the energy to take over our lives and deter from the main objective.
I think we have all been victim to small things throwing off our day whether that be traffic or stubbing our toe. The difference between a person at peace is understanding that those isolated instances are just that isolated instances. If we can control our thoughts and emotions we can quickly regain focus and recognize how insignificant those moments are instead of letting them ruin the rest of our day. In the same vein it can be easy for us to try and solve things that are out of our control or not central to our purpose…this in turn takes our energy away and gives it to something like means very little to us. Complaining has become a habit of evolution. One that is central to the human experience, but often not necessary. The people who don’t complain often are just busy trying to figure out how to solve the problems that mean the most to them and the ones they don’t care about they don’t let bother them. Focus more our your energy on the problems that you seek to solve and the rest will become meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
