Profound

My Dad sent this to me in an email. I thought it was very profound and something I should work on, and I thought I would share it because we all deserve less stress in our lives. here goes:

“I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours and God’s. Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our business.” ~ Byron Katie from Loving What Is

That’s brilliant. Think about that. There are really only three kinds of business, eh? Mine, yours, and God’s. I love that.

Katie stresses the fact (yes, it’s a fact) that our stress arises when we get out of our own business and into someone else’s or into God’s business.

“God’s” business: Why would we think we should be able to control an earthquake or a war? We can’t.

“Your” business: Why would we think we should be able to control a partner or a boss? We can’t.

And by not recognizing these facts, we spin our wheels spending all of our time thinking about how someone or something should be different than what it is. Enter suffering.

So, let’s stay in our own business. It’s the only place where we can get some good work done. :)"
