There's something really challenging that happens when your life, your identity and your focus is always on the "next big thing", you stop enjoying and appreciating where you are right now. You become so focused and obssessed on getting some place else that you never give yourself permission to just be okay with your life and situations right in this moment.
"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it." ~ William Feather |
In this life it is important that you cultivate a fuel source that essentially says, "l am having a blast creating this big vision as I go." By focusing too greatly on the future and forgetting the present, you are setting yourself up for disappointment by postponing your happiness. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled right now. Nothing new or different needs to happen for you to realise that your life is meaningful and purposeful right now. And that awareness has nothing to do with your actions in the world or what you accomplish. It has to do with you seeing the truth. You recognising that who you are right now is good enough, is perfect.
Begin to see and feel that now, so that you can enjoy your creative journey as you go, instead of waiting for something to happen in order to feel okay. Because the reality is, you can become the most successful person in the world but if you don't enjoy each moment of the journey, it won't make any difference. I know many fear that, "Well, if I become satisfied with what I already have now, I will lose drive." But the truth is the better you feel about your life, the easier it is to automatically develop a stronger desire to serve and support you new and better vision for it.. So be happy now! It is a choice.
