Allow yourself to float away from all the limitations with which you have identified …
Once, a disciple asked Buddha, “Who is the controller of our life and destiny, to whom we ask for us to be freed?” The Buddha smiled and replied, “Only you can free yourself, no one else can.” This clearly shows that we are entirely responsible for our own lives. But the problem is that we don’t know that deeply and consciously, so we always blame someone or something for what is happening within us and make excuses for everything that doesn’t go our way. We are the creators of our own lives, or the artists of our own art. You are the artist; create something beautiful with what you have. There is no point in worrying about something that isn’t here right now; instead, appreciate what you have and work for what you want. At the same time, another question arises: how can we control our lives when the heart, liver, cells, and everything else in nature happen on their own and we have no control over them? Yes, there is a larger intelligence operating around and within us; the question is whether you are conscious enough to recognize it, or whether you are truly present in this moment to experience it.
We seek freedom, but only on the surface of what lies beneath the surface.
