I often talk about the incredible enriching power of graceful invincible inner peace (a.k.a. true happiness) and the corresponding consistently graceful abundance mindset that goes hand-in-hand with it.
While so many humans desperately chase fulfillment with things that will never make them feel fulfilled (e.g. money, fame, alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, food, bodybuilding results in the gym, etc.), I, in contrast, have invincible fulfillment (a.k.a. inner peace and true happiness) from the get-go, and through that fact and the corresponding abundance mindset that comes with it, built on not being desperate, clingy, miserable, jealous, greedy, possessive, etc, I end up typically getting much more access to those kinds of things (e.g. money, attention, good reputation, alcohol, gambling and seemingly incredibly good luck, drugs, sex, food, bodybuilding results in the gym, etc.). Happy people like me end up getting more of those those unfulfilled idolizers who chase them desperately in a futile attempt to use those false idols to fulfill themselves.
Neither money nor success in the gym with your physical fitness goals nor any of those other things I mentioned will buy you happiness (a.k.a. inner peace), but true happiness will typically get you those things. In a rough way of speaking, money doesn't buy happiness, but happiness buys money. By not desperately chasing after those things out of some desperate sad sense of spiritual unfulfillment, those things instead seem to chase me.
If you don't make the foolish mistake of thinking you need one or all of those things to be truly happy (i.e. have inner peace), then those things seem to chase you. Part of the basic logic is tautological and true by definition: If you realize you don't need money, then you will therefore instantly have more money than you need. But there's a deeper and more practical manifestation of this, in that miserable, desperate, greedy, clingy people tend to do more poorly in their professional careers, romantic relationships, and so and so forth. Their addictive personality, in which they desperately chase fulfillment with externals will never fulfill them, chases away those externals. If you have ever been on a first date with someone who is super desperate, then you know exactly what I mean. But it doesn't just happen in romantic contexts, but generally all contexts. In other words, desperation, jealousy, and possessiveness doesn't just chase away romantic or sexual partners and twist romantic relationships into abusive nightmares, it has that effect on all relationships, money matters, professional endeavors, and external goals. One's spiritual fulfillment (i.e. lack of free-spirited inner peace) leads to desperation and clingy possessiveness which chases away the external things they foolishly and falsely think are needed for fulfillment/happiness (e.g. romantic success, professional success, financial success, success with exercise/dieting, etc.).
So I want to take the opportunity with this post to elaborate a bit on that incredible enriching power of graceful gracious invincible inner peace (a.k.a. true happiness), or in other words on how being happily fulfilled spiritually (and therefore having a grateful abundance mindset) tends to incredible external success, meaning success in ways that to someone like me don't matter much but to unhappy desperate unfulfilled people seeking fulfillment matter a lot, since they foolishly think they need things like money, alcohol, marriage, or sex to be happy. This power that I and those other few truly happy people in the world like me have is so incredible that it's functionally supernatural.
Here is a quote I believe that is very helpful towards understanding the supernatural power about which I am speaking:
"What stands in the way becomes the way."
- Marcus Aurelius (Roman emperor and stoic philosopher)
Whatever proverbial cards you get dealt, find the way to use that specific hand to your advantage such that you say, "perfect". Learn to use your opponent's force against him, not just in the sense of literal human opponents but also in the broadest most figurative and spiritual senses of those words. Learn to see everything as a blessing, with some just more disguised than others. That is grace. It is to do, without trying. It is to accept and play, rather than bitch, waste, and squander, or perhaps worse dishonestly deny.
The impediment action advances actions. What stands in your path becomes a stepping stone on your journey, one that may lead you to heights you never would have achieved otherwise. When you learn how to use your opponent's force to your advantage, then you smile thankfully when he throws even more force against you. When you learn to see opportunities in the mud, you are thankful when even more mud gets thrown at you and the situations get even muddier. When you learn to have grace under fire, you become even more graceful when there is even more fire, and then you are thankful for more fire. If anything, you wish for even more fire. Grace shines under fire like light shines in the dark; it exists not despite it, but thanks to it.
Fully and unconditionally accept the proverbial cards you are dealt, with an acceptance so full and unconditional it warrants being called love, and thereby play those cards the absolute best you can, and thus also way better than almost any other human, such that it seems like you're supernatural, like you are a god walking among men. You will be so graceful and achieve such incredible success with such grace and infinite ease, people will call you god-like.
Almost all humans waste some of their very valuable and very limited time, energy, and resources on forms of unaccepetance such as hate, resentment, unforgiveness, self-delusional dishonesty, and/or judgementalism, and most do it much more than merely some. In other words, almost all humans waste some, most, or effectively all of their very limited time and energy bitching about the proverbial cards that are dealt. Thus, if you don't, you will therefore play cards much better than almost all humans, simply by choosing to not wastefully throw your valuable time, money, or energy at that which you cannot control or cannot change. Most humans are so incredibly wasteful with their time, money, and energy that, if you aren't, you become like god-like in comparison.
In short, unconditionally love the proverbial cards you are dealt and thereby play those cards supernaturally well.
And even shorter: Just love everything and thereby become supernatural.

My entire political philosophy summed up in one tweet.
"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.
