Welcome to the Belief Clinic -- an adjunct section of the Belief Institute website.
If what has been repeatedly explained by sages throughout history is true -- that we get what we concentrate on -- it seems astonishingly obvious that we ought best focus on what we truly desire: ease, wellbeing, peace, fun, laughter, joy ...
Some of you reading this might first think "What I truly desire is more money" or "more sex" and so on. But if we analyse what we desire, ultimately anything that is externally derived -- e.g. money -- can and most likely will hold us hostage to those things. No money = no peace or happiness. Viktor Frankl wrote that
"Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."
Our last freedom, and therefore the most important, and "most independent" is our ability to choose our attitude. In any and every situation our ability to 'let go' and choose joy, ease, peace is available to us.
