We do not suffer from a dearth of information. 
We suffer from an abundance of desire.
We want everything.
Stop wanting and everything falls into place.
Then, we do what is called for and not what satisfies our current craving.

If we wanted emptiness, stillness and silence the way we want what we want, it would be a different world like that (snaps fingers).

Our problems are not solvable intellectually, rationally, logically. They are solved emotionally, psychically,
by changing our mind about what is important.

We cannot continue wanting what we want and think things are going to be different when we get it.

We have to stop wanting what we want,
and give ourselves to the service of doing what is called for
whether we want to or not (But. We have to do it as though we want to). 

We have to do what is called for here, now in such a way that we cannot tell ourselves whether we want to do it or not. AA calls this "faking it until we make it." We have to live as though we don't want a drink until we don't want a drink. We have to do live as though we want to do what is called for here, now, until we do what is called for here, now, spontaneously, automatically, naturally.

"There is nothing to it but to do it" (Maya Angelo).
