3. Can my soul be the captain of my life?

If I really listen to my feelings in New York during the first weeks, I realise that it’s not the city of my dreams. There is no inner truth in this idea. It feels like an illusion I’ve lived for years. My life looks right, but it does not feel right. This observation made me wonder what if everything I strive for at the end is an illusion? My mind is trying to convince me that, when I’ve made a certain amount of money, I will eventually feel happy. But, when I look back… A few years ago my mind told me that New York and my current income would make me happy, but in fact, I am less happy now than I was then. And when I remember myself with no money being a student, I was the happiest ... So I conclude that my mind does not guide me to happiness and I should not listen to it. I need to change the very paradigm of how I live and make the Soul the captain of my life.
