Todd Perelmuter - Invidious

Todd Perelmuter

I have one purpose in life: to make this world happier, more loving, and more peaceful. After all, the more peace we bring into our lives, the more peace we bring into the world.

Having seen so many around me suffering from stress, addiction, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression, I decided to embark upon a 9-year journey that would take me to over 35 countries living with and learning from shamans, gurus, monks and tribes. I studied 16 religions and spiritualities, and spent 50 days meditating in total solitude, all in an effort to discover the secrets to a peaceful mind.

If you’re ready to let go of your negative thoughts and the baggage that is weighing you down, if you’re ready for a life filled with joy, purpose and meaning, please join me on the journey within.

The problem isn't making money; it's when money becomes your master instead of your tool.

When good, kind, empathetic people refuse to build wealth, power stays in the hands of the greedy.

Getting rich so you can fund good causes, protect your family, and lift up your community isn't selfish. It's your responsibility.

We all know about the monk who sold his Ferrari. But can a monk buy a Ferrari?

Can a guru wear a Rolex?

Can a mystic have a family, big house, or be a Wall Street executive?

It seems we’re always shown two extremes:
the poor, homeless, spiritual renunciate;
or the rich, materialistic charlatan.
Enlightened and broke,
or wealthy and hollow.

But what about the middle path?
Is it possible to be wealthy and spiritual?
And equally important, can we grow spiritually without giving up our ambition? (A lot of people think presence, stillness, nonattachment and no desires equates to laziness and no ambition.)

These are questions all of us living in a capitalist society and who value inner peace are forced to confront. That’s what led me to write my upcoming book, Still Ambitious: How to Succeed Without Losing Yourself.

We don’t have to crave warmth and kindness when the world is cold and dark. We don’t have to hate the cold darkness either. We can instead love the always-changing nature of this fascinating and rich illusory dimension of reality.

When we see a magic show, we don’t suffer when we see the assistant gets cut in half. We don’t get carried away when we watch the magician defy the laws of gravity. We simply marvel at the miracle of perceptual phenomena. Is the Universe that gave rise to all things, including the magic show, any less miraculous?

So rather than focusing on suffering versus pleasure, focus on loving the whole of this beautiful show. Love the suffering right out of existence. Love the fruits of your hard-toiled labors. Love the toiling of your labor for its fruits.

Love the doing, love the being, love the whole of life.

Not just birth, but death and everything in between.

If you're caring for a parent, spouse, child, family member, or loved one right now, I created a free guide (check my comment below), The Caregiver's Guide to Healing, to help navigate the stress, burnout, guilt, grief, emotional exhaustion, and challenges that come with caring for someone you love.

Let people throw their arrows.

Welcome them.

Use them as fuel.

When we are fully certain of our path, fully aligned with our heart, intuition, and deeper purpose, the opinions of others lose their ability to disturb us.

Other people’s words no longer define reality for us.

And often, people criticize others because they themselves are unhappy, afraid, or disconnected from their own path. Nobody who is deeply fulfilled and deeply in love with life spends their time obsessively attacking other people.

People judge because they are lost in comparison, insecurity, fear, greed, and competition. The opportunity to look down on someone else becomes one of the few pleasures available to them.

If someone needs to badmouth us for temporary emotional relief, we don't need to take it personally. It does not damage us. The people who truly matter already love us and know exactly who we are. More importantly, we know who we are. And that is enough.

How do you deal with people who criticize?

Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate!
Every year, I think about the inner freedom America’s Founding Fathers displayed when they envisioned a new form of government built on the ideals of liberty and equality. They first threw off the shackles of tyranny in their own minds so their creative spirit could imagine a better way forward.

The conditions of political freedom were not prerequisites for their flourishing. In fact, it was their suffering from subjugation that led to their spiritual revolution. In their footsteps, may we each use our life and liberty to pursue happiness not just for ourselves, but for the world.
Free your mind — the world will follow.

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend filled with friends, family, and lots of good food.
