I have been living in the future to want early retirement
and go into different venture, learnings and conflicts. This is because of the
“I”. This allow me to let go and not holding to what I want and cause a deluded
mind (cannot understand the current issue/truth) in tackling the current issue.
This also allow me to do more of my responsibilities in the moment in my
relationships.

Suffering is a conflict or in a softer word call
misalignment of what we want/like and don’t want / dislike. Have been having
issues with children and spouse and keep on venturing and learning with
insufficient time for them because of the “I” want the life in future. From now
on will just take it easy to leave more in the moment according to situation
needs and adjust my personal timing accordingly with timely and clear
communication when seeing the needs of the situation. After this class, decided
to just accept whatever the result / outcome (let go) and adjust accordingly
with LESS emotional want (cause of suffering). This will also reduce conflicts
and stress.

I am disagree with previous class that if someone want a
lot of money, then someone else will loss a lot of money. This is only true if
the money comes from unethical / illegal activities like gambling, cheating,
drug pushing, certain kind of trading etc. But if we are solving other peoples’
problems and receive the money, this is saving other peoples’ time, headache,
money, stress etc which is adding value to other peoples’ lives. This is ok to
me. The key here is how much money is enough to live the lifestyle we want
without indulgence that will allow us to break away from the vicious cycle of
suffering.
4 To break away from suffering, I will practice more awareness when there is any issues or problems or conflict arise in my life and work. Only when I can recognize the suffering I cannot observe and solve it with the noble eightfold path. Will try using the right understanding (from the world issue perspective) to understand the actual suffering/issue before applying the right thinking and right effort to solve it.

【 it’s good to aware about “I want”,
next step will be how to transform “I want” to ‘what they need’ or “what can I
help them”, moment to moment, keep trying.】
