Meditation leads to contentment.



3 page story of a man who enters into a new state of awareness, after 10 years of meditation, where he no longer needs outward stimuli because he realizes its all a distraction and repeat anyway

John had always been a restless soul. He constantly sought out new experiences and stimuli, trying to fill the emptiness within him. He traveled the world, tried new hobbies, and dated countless women, but nothing ever satisfied him. He was always left feeling empty and unfulfilled.

One day, John stumbled upon the practice of meditation. At first, he was skeptical. How could sitting still and doing nothing possibly bring him the peace and contentment he so desperately craved? But he decided to give it a try anyway.

For the next ten years, John dedicated himself to his meditation practice. He spent hours each day sitting in stillness, focusing on his breath, and observing his thoughts. At first, it was difficult. His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and distractions. But slowly, he began to find a sense of peace and stillness within himself.

As the years went on, John's meditation practice deepened. He began to experience states of consciousness that he never thought possible. He felt a sense of oneness with the universe, and a deep connection to all living beings.

One day, as John was sitting in meditation, he had a profound realization. He realized that all of the outward stimuli he had been seeking for so many years were just distractions. They were all fleeting and impermanent, and they would never bring him the lasting contentment he sought.

John realized that true happiness could only be found within himself. He no longer needed external stimuli to distract him from his inner emptiness. He was content with just being, with just existing in the present moment.

From that day on, John's life changed. He no longer felt the need to seek out new experiences or distractions. He was content to just be with himself, and with the universe. He felt a sense of peace and joy that he had never experienced before.

John became a beacon of light for others. He taught meditation and mindfulness to those who sought the same peace and contentment he had found. He helped others realize that true happiness could only be found within themselves, and that all the outward stimuli in the world were just distractions.

In the end, John realized that his ten years of meditation had not been a journey of self-improvement, but a journey of self-discovery. He had discovered that he was already whole and complete, and that he didn't need anything outside of himself to be happy. And that was the greatest realization of all.
