Finding and re-finding our true self

It is so easy to get caught up in the material workings of this world.  Wake up, hurry up, get to the next place, next task, next assignment. Earn the next paycheck, buy the next 10 or 100 items. Keeping busy, constantly thinking and doing until 

Bam! Something is not going your way.

Disappointment
Stress
More doing
More thinking

Maybe a you break to distract yourself with TV, socializing, complaining, or a few cocktails.
Some relief.

Then the next day, the cycle repeats.

Ever wonder if there is a better way to live?

I do not have a one-size-fits all answer.
But what I do know is that this tiring cycle is how the EGO (or our false, mind-centered sense of self) WANTS us to live.

And only your true self-- your spiritual self, the light within
Can help you out.
OUT
of the cycle 

You need only to find or re-find your true self. 

The answer to greater peace lies in getting out of the Mind.
In slowing down
To stillness.
To your breath.

You do not need anything else in this moment. 

You need only to remember who you really are.
