Irritation Breeds Clarity
Ultimately you desire the feeling of fulfillment, over the things you actually think you are striving for. (promotions, money, relationships, etc.) When you slow down your mental/thought process and take a moment to remind yourself that you are already whole - just to be, it transforms your state from lack to ease.
If you are conscious you are able to practice the skill of 'being'. The ability to relax and be isn't something you need to work for or earn - it's your natural state of being.
Going deep into the ancient text we can learn about the law of identification. Inherently you are an infinite being with infinite potential. If you are experiencing a limitation, it is because of your own identification. (beliefs, experiences/attachments, stories you tell your self, who you think you are.)
Your limitations exist because of who you think you are. A state of lack is only due to your identification with it. There are many levels to 'identification' and it goes all the way to your cellular/dna level.
What kind of beliefs are you holding - positive or negative?
Are they in congruence with who you are becoming?
Work on disidentifying with the physical body through awareness, meditation, gratitude and expanding your awareness.
You are not your identity/beliefs. You are not your physical body, you are not your subtle body. Your nature is infinite - aatman/moksha. You only experience a reality based on your level of identification.
Consciousness transcends space, time and death. Self realization is the ultimate goal. Human potential is limitless because you are the infinite consciousness.
