Buddha offered amazing super simple techniques to this, dismanteling the delusions that stand between us and our goal, happiness, because that is what we all want finally, to be happy and not to suffer. Good stuff Jon. :) Great stuff…The Buddha talked about this thousands of years ago, he said right view right thinking right action…Basically our views are what are causing us to have undesirable results and so to change these reults we must get to the root, the view or the belief and with understanding we uncover the habitual mind patterns of thinking (in essence we are meditating subconciously all day everyday on wrong view, wrong only pertaining to what brings suffering and undesirable results in our life) and so when we change our habit patterns through understanding our thinking is changed and the actions follow suite.

I think what I get from this is my own beliefs as a young man are definitely outdated. Some of them are: go to church, pay the church, play computer games, sleep in, pig out, don't talk to people, etc... A few years ago, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I'd been living a lie and was controlled by my thoughts. When I discovered I could break out of my current way of thinking and choose for myself, it was a great moment. I still have a ways to go and am by no means perfect (just ask my wife). Glad to see your insights. You explained it very simply Jonathan. I think what I get from this is my own beliefs as a young man are definitely outdated.

Inner peace and less stress. Instead of stress and anxiety you really want to have a genuine sense of inner peace and well being. In our chaotic world, this is truly an excellent goal. Obviously, there are plenty of opinions as to how this might be accomplished. A desire for more clarity should prompt you to ask questions like: What is inner peace and well being, where does it come from, and why don’t you already have it? What are your current sources of stress and anxiety, and could you limit or control your exposure? Gaining some clarity about the source of the problem makes finding a solution much more realistic.
