Seriously?
There's been a huge lie that has been running your entire life. Problem is, you might not even know it.
Don't worry. It's not your fault.
This lie touches everyones life and no one is free from its grasp.
So I'm here to help you make this one change, and if you can seriously take this one tip to heart your entire world will change.
I know because it changed mine.
Here's the BIG lie: there's an island where it all turns out.
Let me explain further.
Take a second to imagine that you are in a boat constantly rowing towards this island where your happiness lives. You can see your ideal life: the car, the partner, the house, the job etc. When you think of this place you believe that you will be happy.
The bad news is this place doesn't exist.
It's a mirage.
Despite the fact it is a mirage, it's incredibly enticing and will keep you rowing your boat towards it as long as you live because you think that this is where your happiness exists.
Worse yet, it's not just about the rowing that is bad, it's what this type of attitude brings out in you. When you are living from this frame of mind, you end up seeing life as very linear, black and white, timeline-esque, future driven, progress driven...and when things don't go "according to plan" or don't show up as "how they should be" everything gets incredible messy.
Living this way will bring out anxiety, fear, worry and other negative emotions that bubble up when you refuse to connect with the present moment and are constantly living in the future.
THIS CAN BE INCREDIBLY EXHAUSTING.
Most people in this world never get the chance to really understand that they are living this way and that they are stuck in a cycle that is incredibly hard to break out of. If they do stop and look around for a while, they quickly get back in their boat because they believe their happiness lives in the future.
Ever heard of mid-life crisis? Bingo.
What is the shift that needs to take place in order for you to exit out of this way of thinking?
Be an amoeba. A what?! Yes, an amoeba...you know those ever-shifting microscopic creatures that you probably studied in some science class along the way? Ok I guess I'll have to explain further.
Start to view your life as a living, breathing, morphing, adapting and adjusting entity. When you do this, you can see the world as very colorful and fluid.
It gets even better.
When you start living in this way the best sides of you are brought out and you can truly live in the present moment.
When you exit the future and show up in the present moment, you are living in the only place where you can actually be. You can't exist anywhere else (we try sometimes). You show up right here and that's when the magic starts to happen.
If you can really slow down and connect you will see incredibly changes in your life.
There's no telling what's possible for you.
Ask yourself right now, "What's actually here? What's really going on?"
Quit rowing.
