if you’re finding yourself in an unhappy place you’re either giving way to much power into the future or giving your past way too much energy. And that’s mental. It’s not real. The only thing real is the present moment that we’re in right now. So When we become anxious we start saying things lk “I don’t have enough time OR this is taking too much time” & when we think of time from a psychological standpoint - it can be very convincing. & this is where things become depressing bc we start to think of time as linear. I was born, I’m at this middle point and I’ll end up here. Making us leave our present state and manifesting happiness at a later time. Once I obtain this degree I’ll be happy, once I get that job I’ll be happy, when I lose more weight I’ll be happy. So we think we’re in the middle point insisting on conditions that need to be met for us to be happy and it’s such a mental manipulation that’s stealing our happiness . If you’re seeing time as your enemy and not as your ally you’re no longer in the present. And if you’re not in the present, how can you be happy? So moral of the story is. Be clear on your intentions and what you’re passionate about and be accepting of that timeline and be aware of the plan may not always go according to plan. When I look back on my life not a single thing I accomplished has gone according to MY PLAN it’s all on HIS TIMING. And I can’t stress this enough butbe open to the path taking a turn. Bc if you don’t dabble in new things along the way, if you don’t let go of this mold of who you told everyone you were going to be- you’ll never let new opportunities land in front of you. Failure is the gateway to success& I know that sounds very Tedtalk but it’s true.if you’re not failing at something are you even trying? If you’re not practicing detachment from who you thought you were to who you can potentially be are you even giving yourself a real shot?
