Yep
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.
Don't worry it's not your fault.
This lie is incredibly powerful and no one has been left out of 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 that it can change lives because it changed mine.
Here it is - there's this place that you will reach where everything "turns out."
Let me explain.
If you can take a second to think of your "future" and all of the great things that live in that place...you are entering into the place of "the land where it all turns out." When you think of this place, often you will start to feel warm fuzzy feelings of happiness. You've arrived.
Unfortunately, this place doesn't exist.
It's a mirage.
What makes this mirage so impossibly sexy is that you believe that your happiness lives there. That alone will keep you rowing your boat as much as you possibly can.
But it gets worse. It's not just about rowing your boat to an imaginary place that's bad, it's about what this mentality brings out in you. Living this way makes you strive on a timeline to achieve something and makes you incredibly narrow minded. Everything is about progress. Everything must go "according to plan."
It will bring out anxiety, fear, doubt, worry, and pretty much every other negative emotion in the book because you aren't slowing down at all and constantly seeking a place you will never get to.
THIS IS EXHAUSTING.
However, most people never get the chance to really consider that this is the way that they are living their life and exit this habit. They just continue on rowing and never quite make it to where they wanted to go.
Ever heard of mid-life crisis? Bingo.
So what do you need to do to take yourself out of the "rowing mentality?"
Be amoebic. Huh? Yes...just like an amoeba. Let me explain.
When you start viewing your life as an ever-changing, shifting, and morphing entity you end up focusing more on growth. You see life as very colorful, an opportunity for learning, experiences, change and development.
But it gets even better.
When you live this way, the best is brought out in you. You are able to focus on what's really developing in you and how you can grow and change. You connect more with the present. You show up as who you really are. You connect more with others.
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.
When you slow down to connect with others and what's going on around you, you will start to see incredible changes in your life.
Living in this world, everything is possible.
So pull your oars out of the water and ask yourself right now, "What's actually here? What's really going on in my life? What do I have to be grateful for?
End your rowing.
