Being human...
Be the creator of your experience of reality. When the sun is shining and you are on vacation and you just had a raise in salary, you are happy. When it's raining and you have a headache and your dog just died, you are unhappy. This may seem very obvious but there is more.
You are not only a reaction to outer and inner impulses. Of course the above statements make a part of you feel a certain way. But you can be greater than that part. The human being chooses his reaction to impulses, hence being freed from being a victim of his (inner and outer) environment. The human being observes that a part of his being is in pain, but his reaction is not inevitably that of suffering. He can choose to continue marveling at the miracle of existing and experiencing. He has chosen to uncover a deeper layer of being: a layer closer to his essence; a layer not directly affected by the outer shell.
If you want to be a human being you must uncover and cultivate this layer. And there are many, many resources which can and will help you with this...(a list will be compiled soon)
Maybe the only real meaning of anything happening in our experience of reality is the meaning we choose to give (create). Imagine the possibilities and consequences if we really were the creators of (our) reality...
