Today I've noticed myself having a new perspective on the dukkha I experience. It's subtle. Usually, when I notice some suffering in my life, I briefly strategize about how I can eliminate the suffering. I think about subtle shifts I can make in my physical actions or thinking, either in the moment, or long term. Associated with that is mild self-loathing: "Why haven't I mastered this yet? Why do I continue to create this suffering for myself?"
Today, the thought that has been arising is, "Yeah, there's dukkha again. More reason to practice. Liberation is the only answer."
Pretty cool.
