Meditation gives us a way of gaining perspective on our lives.

Meditation gives us a way of gaining perspective on our lives. We begin to see our lives as journeys of unfolding consciousness. When we see our lives in this way we inevitably come to value our own peace of mind as our top priority. In this prudent light, hanging on to resentments and anger starts to feel self-destructive. It brings down our inner peace and our meditative state. We tend to want to work through problems so that we can use our energy to achieve our own inner and outer goals, to enhance our own enjoyment of life. Focusing on the positive becomes a habit of mind.
