Episode 3204:

Discover how to embrace the inevitable restlessness of the mind with Richard Paterson's insights from ThinkLessandGrowRich.com. Paterson explains that suffering arises not from the mind's inherent disturbances but from our resistance to its natural state. This transformative perspective promises profound peace when we shift how we relate to our thoughts.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.thinklessandgrowrich.com/restless-mind/

Quotes to ponder:

"There is no such thing as peace of mind. Mind means disturbance; restlessness itself is mind."

"Don't be concerned about the thoughts that come and go. Leave them alone and they will leave you alone."
