Dismissing The Demand That Life Should Be Perfect

In this episode, Eckhart continues his talk with an audience in
Budapest, explaining that if we are waiting for the world to make
us happy in the form of the right person, place, job or
situation. We will probably wait for a very long time. He says
our expectations for the perfect life usually lead to deep
disappointment.  He explains life is fragile and cannot
possibly meet all of our demands. He says we ask ourselves “what
is the world here for if it's not to make us happy?” Eckhart
explains every person is like a seed of awakening
consciousness.  Life’s challenges push the seed to sprout.
Eckhart implores that we must learn to drop the demand that life
should be perfect.
