Seriously?
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.
We've all been fed this story and it's incredible powerful.
Knowing this lie and what it does to your life can literally change your world.
Not joking. How do I know? It changed mine.
Here's the BIG lie: there's an island where it all turns out.
Let me further explain this.
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.
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.
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 CAN BE INCREDIBLY 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.
You know that mid-life crisis ordeal? Bingo.
So what is the shift that needs to take place?
Be amoebic. Huh? Yes...just like an amoeba. Let me explain.
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.
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.
Start living in the present. You can spend your entire life rowing to this place you will never get to or you can connect with what is right in front of you.
If you can really slow down and connect you will see incredibly changes in your life.
Living in this world, everything is possible.
Take a second to ask yourself, "What's actually here? What's really going on?"
End your rowing.
