Awesome and inspiring post. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty in what appears to be a disaster… You ROCK!

Chris, right on point dude! If we have the discipline to bring our awareness back to the present moment, we can see that that is all there really is. And, in 30 years from now who’s going to give a shit about these perceived problems? I for one will be in my 80’s and I don’t want to ruin my days worrying about shit that will not matter in the end game. Great post thanks!

Troubles come and troubles go
Ain’t worth stressing on
Otherwise you lose sight of what’s really important
AND end up miserable (=

Agreed. Now how do I remind myself of this wisdom and truth when the problems feel overwhelming?

Hi Laurel
Meditation helps to become more aware of how often we can get lost in thought
And I have a TON of Eckhart Tolle Audios I listen to to help constantly remind me
All day for me is like a forgetting and a remembering
And over time, I’m able to remember more and more often

Thank you more than words can say – today was a day where it was harder than usual to keep things in perspective (people can be really mean, and life doesn’t seem fair, etc etc . . .) This was just what I needed to get back in the game with my head on straight to keep trying to win this game of life stuff. YOU ARE AWESOME!! 😀

The power of NOW! This moment! All we can control! Amazing how many people have become so convinced and accept that if they can think thru what has happened and plan on what they want to happen then maybe they can alter the past or influence the future. Your simple TRUTH is the best medicine. Thanks!

Hi Chris, my names Jim from Brisbane Australia. I’m a singer, song writer for a dirty rock band called Lords of Wong. You can check out a few song on YouTube (reconditioned motor/You can’t keep a good drug down) 2 different songs. I was writing a song about getting out of ruts, problems etc and started off something then came across your philosophy ‘The place where problems go to die’. Im still writing the lyrics but I’m wondering if you’d mind if I used your title as the title for a song and grabbed a few lines to mix into verses/chorus. If that’s OK with you I’ll send you the finished work when its done and credit you on our next album release. Good job on that, very simple and succinct. Jim

thank u chris….
thanks for your golden words.
I am really proud of having problems.I think this shit will be nothing to me after an year.
keep posting like this.
That place of “now” is always peaceful and quiet, and a great place to start moving right through problems instead of around them. Thanks for the excellent reminder, Chris. It’s great to regroup and return to now!
