What to Do When Things Don't Make Sense | A Monk's Perspective
What do you do when you look at your life and things just don't seem to line up? In this video, I wanted to share some personal experiences and challenges I had prior to becoming a Buddhist monk in Thailand. Living in California, I struggled to see how all the things I was doing (i.e. career choices, hobbies, friends, etc.) or pieces of the puzzle would one day all fit together in the future. It seemed just too random to make sense. So here are 3 tips that I wanted to share with anyone who is currently in this phase of their life. I hope it's helpful. Enjoy! #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth

“You cannot connect the dots looking forward; You can connect them only looking backwards; so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something-- you gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.” Thank you so much for sharing this, Nick. Because of you calmness and wisdom, it seems that you can be a consultant for anyone. I really like YOU.❤️

you ever try that future authoring program from Jordan Peterson ? It sounded similar to what Anthony Robbins talked about in Awaken the Giant.... it might be useful to find a quite place, and just start writing ... that chicken soup for the soul guy said to write down 30 things each, what do you want to BE, to do, and to have,,,so that is 90 things... Robbins pushes more by saying why do you want ___? You want how it will make you feel.... yea, my boat has ONE oar.... I want a camper van to go explore and go on adventures, but I procrastinate on final wire terminations...and waste my time here and FB, I know I am not going to live forever.... all right, I change that now and today...thanks !

Dear Nick for the last 2 weeks i have been isolated, in bed with covid and this has increased my depression. I was coming from just 1 month of grief after the loss of my best friend and added to my health situation with 2 new diagnoses, all of this was too much for me. Despite practicing zen Buddhism, and belonging to an online sangha, I have absolutely no desire for anything at this moment. And that's when I remembered your gentle way, your always affectionate voice, and I decided to listen again to all the topics I've heard in the past. I wanted to tell you that at this very difficult time in my life I find great comfort in your words. Thank you so much for this wonderful work and for sharing your experiences and compassion with us 🙏🏼

Thank you very much venerable for your contribution🙏.. Whatever we are living now is our own creation. No one is responsible for it... Patience is very important at every aspect of life.. Each coin has two sides likewise there will be up & down in our lives.. Sometimes things would work as per our expectations sometimes not.. Patience, efforts & mindfulness helps us to work towards our goal.. "This too will pass soon", this type of positive thought will motivate us to work for our goals.. We crave for immediate result for our action & that puts us in grief....Every act has it's own time to give fruits...Having company of right people & right surrounding help us to remain stable & positive... Lots of Metta to all.

Binerexis - dear heart, just a word from an old lady. I had some childhood trauma that I thought I had taken care of resurface when I hit retirement and old age, I was shocked and devastated. I have had to do a lot of grieving as all the hurt in the past was in my face, in my soul. My heart had been so broken, but the business and duty of daily living Kept me from the inner work I needed to do, The thought of not wanting to live through the grieving process occurred to me. But I made it. Still growing through it but it gets better every day. You are here and listening, you will make it too. ❤️ I feel like Buddhist teachings and the mantra’s sung have sent me a life line. Wish you all the best deeply.

@@DanTheManIOM I have this found book to be very helpful -“The Joy of Living - unlocking the Secret of & Science & Happiness” by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche with a forward by Daniel Goldman. Copyright 2002 It has been a powerful study for me. I have lots of time to do the inner work now and it’s bearing very positive fruit. I can honestly say I no longer suffer from PTSD. A few emotions may surface but that old paranoia that use to great me upon waking, that I just got use too, no longer greats me! I have indeed had a strange long life with many success. Brokenness happens when trauma happens and false conditions and factors have produced false perceptions that were simply ingrained as the result of some really traumatic experiences. I shared my life story with a counselor once, Sharing in a rather matter of fact way, his reply was - you have been through a Holocaust - yes you are Jewish. - you have paid your dues. I thought that was strange, but circumstances did not make it possible for further visits with him. We humans are unique creations with amazing possibilities. To quote the author: “All mental activity, in other words, evolves from the combined activity of bare perception and long-term neuronal association”. Damaged people can damage other people. Yet it is still possible to stop the damage, heal the damage and forgive and know the anger about it all and the stupidity for not understanding sooner has little influence. I didn’t know facing my inner “demons” was going to be so hard. Like the old saying- no pain no gain! Walking through the valley of the shadow of death turned out to be the only way to teach a mountain top of sunshine and fresh air or wholeness and well-being. I will probably always be an intense person border-line bi-polar, but at least I don’t bore myself! Mr. Dan, thanks for your reply. A book came out in the1980’s - “I’m Ok, Your Ok.” For the times it was a helpful read. Stay well and have a lovely life. I am so tickled to find Buddhist teaching in my old age😊✌🏻.

Thank you. Apart from my personal life, I’ve just started to feel almost recentment towards CBT lately. Since I started to work with patients, actually. I went through five years of university program that was very tough to get into, and since it was a medical program, the fokus was solely on what the scientific evidence shows (read: CBT). I’m just so disillusioned by the whole thing, coming to work with people who suffer in different ways. I’m interested in your thoughts. Do you not post videos currently? Have you read the book Already free? Kindly Sanna

Thank you for this presentation and the wisdom of doing what is in front of you to do. Here is an excerpt from the writings of Marshall Vian Summers on this topic: "Whatever you establish in your life is only as strong as the foundation underneath it, and that is why the foundation is the most important part. Once your foundation in life becomes strong, then great things can be added to it and built upon it, and these things will stand. They will then be able to weather and endure the tribulations of life and the winds of change as well. Building a foundation is essential, and this is where we must start... In living in the world, there are Four Pillars of Life. These are all part of your foundation building: the pillars of relationships, health, work and spiritual development. These are the cornerstones of your foundation in life...These areas represent the arenas in which Knowledge is experienced, expressed and contributed." (Living the Way of Knowledge, MVS)
