The only way out is through

I am so glad I started meditating, otherwise I never would have made it as far as I have. I'd be cycling through anti-depressant meds instead, probably. The only things that matter in life, in my view are being kind and meditating, otherwise you get stuck in the same old cycles. The funny thing is that the benefits of meditation are scientifically documented. So why isn't it being taught everywhere yet? Why don't more people do it. Even just ten minutes a day would make a big difference after a year. Because people don't want to go there. It is frightening to tap into everything deep inside. It's much easier to think, "This isn't doing anything. This is stupid. This is a waste of time." Really? Why can't you just sit there and try not to to think for ten minutes? Because at some point, you'll start to tap into things you insisted weren't there. Then you can finally let go.

The only way out is through. I wonder if I'll be through this crappy patch by spring.
