Nobody said life would be easy, but if you understand that this life is just an illusion and YOUR the one in control of how you react to things and that your thinking and the energy you put out, directly affects that "illusion", its makes things a lot simpler and reduces a lot of stress.
As I mentioned in previous posts regarding "being the watcher", the more you put this into practice the more obvious the illusion and the processes within becomes.
You are then able to identify certain patterns that don't serve you and also be aware enough to navigate your way through situations that would've otherwise caused problems and or issues in your life or with others.
