If I had to guess why more people don't / won't undertake their (Mind) as their main priority - it would be the tremendous amount of overall energy- life energy it requires.
Is inner peace worth the effort? I asked several people, over a course of time, this question: If they could choose either #1) One billion dollars $ OR #2) Inner peace / wisdom? What would they choose?
100% of them stated #2. If this is true, why do so few take any steps in this direction? Is it because people are unsure of the process of this dedication or not inspired enough by the "payoff". What do we "get" from inner peace? With the fragmented society we live - advertisements constantly attempting to grab our attention - our life force awareness, to sell us a dream of happiness? It is easier to see what the payoff of one billion dollars will bring - right? Happiness? A ton of material things - freedom of choice, to travel, experience the "fine" things of life? Is there any true substance there?
"To get" "To want" ?
Truth is, the only value any of those things have - is the value we give them in our minds. They are worth something because we think so. But are these thoughts ours? Or have we been sold these thoughts to become consumers, part of a system that asks for your time, energy, dreams, in exchange for things! Things that you think will make you happy.....
This is where fear comes into play- when you think that happiness is outside of you - to purchase or to own something outside of you to bring happiness to your heart. You unconsciously are in fear of losing it or not getting enough to sustain your happiness.
True everlasting happiness is found only within. Everything else is temporary pleasure experience - icing on the cake. You are the cake.

Who is in control of your happiness? Your mind- so much part of and trained by the pressures and expectations of society OR You- the experiencer behind the thoughts?
In the end, when we look back over our lives- we all will have clear perspective of our decisions- let them be yours - for you by you.
