Astoria, New York
We stepped out of the fluorescent-lighted restaurant and onto the lamplit sidewalk. The temperature that night was mild. I grabbed her hand as I hurried her along to the Bohemian beer garden. She had never been, so I was eager to show her. We’d have to be quick, I thought, if we wanted to make it to the dessert café before closing time.

As many of you already know, I live in California now. Compared to New York, I am working twice as hard at my job to make half as much, which effectively means I’m making 1/4th as much. At first I was miserable, I’m not going to lie. Since I didn’t believe I could fatten up my bank account anytime soon, I chose to pursue my happiness without it. It took me a while to get here, but I can now say that I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life. There are actually many reasons for this, but for now I’ll just discuss my top 4.

Most people operate in 1 of 2 modes their entire lives. The first is to be results-oriented. In this mode, people impatiently pine for quick rewards. Some give up as soon as the going gets tough; we call those quitters. Others stress and obsess in short bursts of activity, hoping to god that they figure it out before their willpower runs dry; we call those strivers. Those with a results orientation often lack inner peace because no matter what they have achieved, they never feel like they are enough.

Deadlines.
Promises.
Work, projects, and obligations.
Fear of loneliness.
Fear of failure.
Fear of success.
Never enough money in the bank. Never enough hours in the day. Never feel like enough, even if you already are.

In anticipation of writing this post, I sat in meditation for 20 minutes to approximate as closely as possible a mental state of being present in the moment. Although I think the best way to demonstrate such a mental state is face-to-face, I still think the choice of my words and the cadence of my language will convey it to you on some level. I am no expert in matters of spiritual enlightenment nor do I care to be, but I believe that everyone can benefit from meditation and meditation-like activities. Meditation is simply a process of becoming present in the moment.
