The One Lie That's Running Your Life

By Evan Sanders


Really?

Seriously. There's been a story that has been running your entire life and you may not even know it. Or, you may know it but have absolutely no idea how to get out of it.

But it's not your fault.

This narrative that everyone has been fed is incredibly powerful.

If you take what I'm about to say seriously, it will change your entire life.

Not joking. How do I know? It changed mine.

Here's the lie you have been fed - there's this magical place where everything will turn our perfectly.

Let me explain.

Imagine you're constantly trying to get to this place called "the island where it all turns out." This island lives in your mind and it's where your life looks absolutely perfect and happy. Everything comes true on that island. But there's a huge problem with this island.

This island doesn't actually exist.

It's a amazing mirage.

It's the sexiest mirage you've ever seen and it will keep you rowing and rowing and rowing until your arms fall off because you think that's where your happiness lives.

Even worse, all of this running to a nonexistent place ruins your life.

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 incredibly messy.

When things don't go according to "plan" all of your fears, doubts and worries come out to attack you.

This will exhaust you drip by drip.

Everyone has been fed this great lie of "the island where it all turns out" in one way or another and it stops them from truly living as happily as they could be. Most never get the opportunity to shift their perspective on how they can live their life and they end up chasing this island until the end of time.

Ever heard of mid-life crisis? Bingo.

So how can you change?

Be an amoeba.

Yes, those little microscopic creatures that constantly shift and change.

When you can start living life with some fluidity, you give yourself the opportunity to adapt and adjust to anything that's happening.

Here's where it gets even better.

This type of living brings out incredible things in you. Because when you are focusing on what's actually developing in your life, you jump off the timeline, you start living more in the present and focus on "what's actually here or what's going on?" and you exit the future.

This is when you truly exit living in the future and chasing something that never existed.

You show up right here and now and that's when the magic starts to happen.

And from that place, everything is possible.

So stop chasing what doesn't exist and live in the present moment. It will change your life.

End your running.

It will save you.
