Are you serious?
Absolutely. There's a huge lie that has been running your entire life and you didn't even know it.
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 - there's this place where "it's all going to turn out."
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 exist.
It's a fantastic mirage.
It's an incredible mirage because you swear it's real. It looks real enough to make you want to run for your entire life to it in an effort to really see if it does exist. But it doesn't.
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 believe this great lie, you end up trying to always get to a future that doesn't actually exist.
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.
But most never get the opportunity to shift their perspective so they spend the rest of their lives rowing rowing rowing and even if they do achieve some of what they wanted for themselves, they realize that their happiness still doesn't live in those things or places.
If you want a prime example, think of mid-life crisis.
So what needs to change?
Be amoebic.
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.
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.
When you live this way, you stop chasing what doesn't exist and you start experiencing life for what it is right now.
You show up right here and now and that's when the magic starts to happen.
And from that place, 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?
Stop running.
Be here for the first time.
