Eric Zimmer on Finding Peace in Unanswered Questions
The key is to live it, to be alive Today, not to always be wondering what Tomorrow is going to look like.
Ever feel like you're constantly searching for answers that never come? Eric Zimmer, host of 'The One You Feed', suggests that maybe it's time to embrace the questions instead. In this thought-provoking mini-episode, Zimmer dives into one of his favorite passages from Rilke's 'Letters to a Young Poet'. The passage encourages us to love the questions themselves and to live in the present moment.
Zimmer reflects on how questions often pull us into the future, making it hard to stay grounded in the now. He shares insights from Buddhism about the 'beginner's mind', which sees endless possibilities in uncertainty. By relaxing into the unknown and accepting that we don't have all the answers, Zimmer believes we can find a deeper peace within ourselves.
Whether you're grappling with life's big questions or just trying to be more present, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on living with uncertainty.
